Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Those who swear allegiance to you (O dear
Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), do indeed in fact
swear allegiance to Allah; Allah's Hand* of Power is above their hands;
so whoever breaches his oath, has breached his own greater promise; and
whoever fulfils the covenant he has with Allah - so very soon Allah will
bestow upon him a great reward. (Used as a metaphor to mean Allah's power).
