      Now the verses will teach us how to behave in the presence of the prophet and before his successors in general. When calling the prophet or even the religious leaders who at present may lead us to the way of our prophet, we should be of characteristics of highly cultivated and refined, and in addressing them we must use proper terms of respect:ِ

      ``Do not call the Messenger among you as you call each other.''

      The first of the above verses (NO.62) which was revealed on the above mentioned occasion, implies that we should not leave the prophet (or his successor) alone, and go away when he is occupied with a comprehensive and important social matter, in which our presence is needed:ِ

 

      ``The true believers are those who believe in Allah and his Messenger, and when they are with him for a comprehensive matter, they do not go away until they have his permission.''

      Comprehensive matters could have been those common and important matters which pertain to the whole community, such as declaring a sacred war against enemy's intrusion, as it was the case with the incident of Ohud.

      Other reason too, such as the congregational prayers have also been mentioned, but all these are only parts of the whole meaning, which drives at a joint consultation with a view to a joint venture.

      As a matter of fact, this is a disciplinary order that no one should ever neglect it. Sometimes it will be essential to sacrifice a personal benefit to save a more important social profit, for the whole community.

      Then comes the ending of this passage that:ِ

      ``....Then when they ask your permission for some of their personal affairs, permit those of them that you will, and ask for Allah's forgiveness for them, that Allah is All-forgiving, Compassionate.''

      In such emergency cases, even those who would leave the field of war or the site of work, they still have some shortcomings, and defects, in doing their duty because of their absence or leave. Therefore, they still need the prophet to pardon them and to ask God to forgive them for their defect.
