Thus, these men were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions on campaign in their hearts. They therefore shared in the meaning of accompanying him on campaign, and Allah is with them in proportion to that companionship in spirit.

Even if a man stands alone [in] (1) certain cities and times in upholding a truth brought by the Messenger, and people do not support him in it, Allah is with him, and he has a share (2) in the meaning of His words:

“If you do not aid him, Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved drove him out as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, ‘Do not grieve; indeed, Allah is with us.’” [Surah al-Tawbah: 40]

For supporting the Messenger means supporting the religion he brought, wherever and whenever that may be. Whoever agrees with him is, in spirit, his companion in upholding it. If that companion upholds it as Allah has commanded, then Allah is with what the Messenger brought and with the person upholding it.

Allah is sufficient for this follower, just as He is sufficient for the Messenger, as Allah Most High says:

“Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you.” [Surah al-Anfāl: 64]

[Section: The Rāfidī’s claim that sending down tranquility upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, alone implies his deficiency, and the response to him]

Section

As for the Rāfidī’s statement:

“Wherever the Quran mentions sending down tranquility upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, it includes the believers with him, except in this passage. No deficiency is greater than this.”
