English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
He said, ‘Thou wilt find me, if Allah please, patient and I shall not disobey any command of thine.’
English - Five Volume Translation
He said, ‘Thou wilt find me, if God please, patient and I shall not disobey any command of thine.’[2109]
Commentary:
This verse also shows that the Journey of Moses was a vision because being an independent Prophet he could not pledge himself to obey a person, however spiritually eminent, in matters of Shari‘ah. He was the divinely appointed Leader and Guide for his people and therefore could not afford to seek guidance from any other source except the Divine. The verse also implies the hint that it would be binding on Moses’ followers of the Holy Prophet’s time to accept him. It is to this fact, perhaps, that the saying of the Prophet, "If Moses and Jesus had been alive, they could not help being among my followers" (Kathir, vol. 11, p. 246), refers.
