and you are the guardian (wali) of every believing man and believing woman after me, and you are the one about whom Allah revealed: ["And [it is] an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah is disassociated from the polytheists, and [so is] His Messenger. So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away - then know that you will not cause failure to Allah. And give tidings to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment."] 1
Clarification and Elucidation (Idah wa Tabyin):
The embodiment (misdaq) of this truthful Prophetic speech from the Book of Allah the Almighty:
The Messenger of Allah (exalted be his might) said about our Master that he is the master (mawla) of every believing man and believing woman, while the Creator says: ["That is because Allah is the protector [master] of those who have believed and because the disbelievers have no protector."]2
