[Pooya/Ali Commentary 8:74] Those who believed and migrated in the sense mentioned in the commentary of verse 72 and strived hard in the cause of Allah and those who gave them shelter and assistance are the believers of better quality than those who came into the fold of Islam afterwards, after the hijrat-because hijrat was a voluntary rejection of the social order of the infidels and a willing acceptance of the laws and purpose of a society based upon the laws of the true faith, therefore the application of these verses remains valid for ever. In al Nusus, al Saduq quotes Imam Husayn bin Ali who said that when Allah sent down the verse-the blood relations are nearer one to another in the book of Allah-the Imam requested the Holy Prophet to explain it. The Holy Prophet said: "When I die, your father, Ali, who is nearest to me, has a better title than anybody else for succeeding me. When your father passes away then your brother Hasan has a better title than others, and when Hasan passes away you have a better title for succeeding him." There were men among the companions of the Holy Prophet who deserted him in the midst of many battles, and did not carry out his orders, after his death, given by him concerning his Ahl ul Bayt although the Quran (verse 24 of this surah) says that the call of the prophet is the call of Allah, so obey Allah and His messenger (verse 46 of this surah). Leave alone following the teachings of the Ahl ul Bayt and the Quran (hadith al thaqalayn-see page 6) they not only deprived them of their divinely bestowed rights but also persecuted and killed them.
