Commentary
1. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ conveyed the message of Allāh, Most High. He
did not fabricate the commands on his own. That is why obedience to the Prophet ﷺ is in reality obedience to Allāh.
2. 'My Amīr' means the one whom Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed. For instance, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed Mu'adh bin Jabal, 'Alī, and Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'ari as Amīr and sent them to Yemen.
