Allah addresses his messenger in the verse of Propagation and promises him a divine protection «والله یَعْصِمُکَ مِنَ النَّاسِ». But it is not made clear what does this protection extend to? Does it mean that Allah will protect him from any bodily injuries and murder, or Allah will promote his ideas and religion. The Shiite exegetes, based on the occasions of revelation and the context of the verses, believe that the meaning of the verse can not be to save the [physical] life of the Prophet (PBUH and his progeny), whereas the Sunnite exegetes, due to rejecting the occasion of revelation, believe that the meaning of the verse is “Allah will protect his messenger’s life”. Hence, they have fallen into the abyss of numerous conflicts and inconsistencies, including: conflict with other verses as well as narrations that reveal the cause of revelation and finally the rational axioms. Since there should be no conflict between the Qur'an and Sunnah in the geometry of religious understanding, the Sunnite scholars should resolve this conflict. But the problem is that they have taken the narrations poisoning the prophet for granted and can’t deny them, the fairest way is to accept the occasion of the revelation of the verse.
