[Machine] Regarding the statement of Qatadah, may Allah exalt him, "And say: My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit. And grant me from Yourself a supporting authority" (Quran 17:80), Allah brought him out of Makkah to Madinah, a sound exit, and He caused him to enter Madinah through a sound entrance. Qatadah said, "The Prophet ﷺ knew that he would not have any power over this matter except through authority, so he asked for a supporting authority to the Book of Allah, the limits set by Allah, the obligations of Allah, and the establishment of the Book of Allah. And the Sultan, the authority, is a glory from Allah that He placed among His creatures. If not for that, some would envy others, and the strong among them would oppress the weak."  

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {وَقُلْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ} [الإسراء 80] «فَأَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَأَدْخَلَهُ الْمَدِينَةَ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ» قَالَ «وَنَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لَا طَاقَةَ لَهُ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَانٍ فَسَأَلَ سُلْطَانًا نَصِيرًا لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَحُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَلِفَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ وَلِإِقَامَةِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ السُّلْطَانَ عِزَّةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ جَعَلَهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِ عِبَادِهِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَأَغَارَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَأَكَلَ شَدِيدُهُمْ ضَعِيفَهُمْ»
