Transliteration:( Wa la Hadainaahum Siraatam mustaqeemaa )
“And We would have surely guided them to the Straight Path [226].”
The word "Path" in this verse refers to the path of sainthood and attaining nearness to Allah.
This is because the noble Companions were already firm believers, and thus this guidance implies a higher spiritual station.
From this, we learn that sainthood (wilayah) can sometimes be attained through consistent pious deeds.
Such spiritual closeness is known as acquired sainthood—a status gained through devotion, sincerity, and obedience to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

(4:68) and guide them to a straight way.[98]
98. By giving up uncertainty, and deciding with complete faith and conviction to follow the Prophet (peace be on him), the straight path of their endeavours would have opened up before them. They would have been able to perceive clearly the channels into which their energies should be directed, so that each step they took would be a step towards the true goal.
