Verse80

(80) مَّنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللّهَ وَمَن تَوَلَّى فَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا

80. " Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah, and whoever turns away - we have not sent you to be a watcher over them."
Commentary:
Practice of the Prophet is Just Like the Revelation of Allah
In this verse, the situation of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) before people and their good deeds and evil deeds has been stated. At first, it says that whoever obeys the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) has obeyed Allah. Thus, the obedience of Allah can not be separate from the command of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) because he (p.b.u.h.) takes me step against the commands of Allah.
"Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah,..."

Then it adds that if some people disobey you and oppose your instructions, you are not responsible for their deeds, and you have no duty to force them to stop any wrong doing. Your duty is to deliver propagation of the message of Islam, to enjoin right and forbid wrong, and to guide the misguided persons. It says:
"... and whoever turns away - we have not sent you to be a watcher over them."
It should be noted that this verse is the most clear verses of the Qur'an which is the praf upon the reasoming of the right fulness of the practice of the Profet (p.b.u.h.) and the acceptance of his traditions. Then when we see that, according the pomous tradition of thagation (two weighty things), the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) has explicitry counted the traditions of Ahlul-Bayt some true evidences and proofs, we result from it that the obedience of the command of Ahlul-Bayt is not separate from the obedience of the command of Allah.
