According to Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini, deviation or disobedience here is not taken literally.

The Quran also instructs its followers to believe the word of the messengers and that obeying them is synonymous with obeying Allah (Quran 4 | The Quran also instructs its followers to believe the word of the messengers and that obeying them is synonymous with obeying Allah ({{Quran|4|80}}, {{Quran|3|32}}, {{Quran|5|92}}, {{Quran|3|132}}, {{Quran|4|59}}).

{{Quote|Reynolds, Gabriel Said. <i>Allah: God in the Qur'an (pp. 61-62).</i> Yale University Press. Kindle Edition.|An interesting feature found in Q 26 (but not in the other Suras that relate punishment stories) is a refrain in which the prophet demands that his people obey him. Time and again the prophets in Q 26 warn, “Be wary of Allah and obey me!” (Noah, vv. 108, 110; Hud, vv. 126, 131; Salih, vv. 144, 150; Lot, v. 163; Shu‘ayb, v. 179). The point of this refrain is clear: the prophet is the representative of God on earth. Just as Muslims are to obey God, they are also to obey the prophet. One can understand why later Islamic tradition developed the doctrine that the prophets are all infallible. If they are to be obeyed, they must be fully trustworthy, they must be perfect.}} | |||
