Assalamu Alaykum

This verse has often times been incorrectly translated as in this case. This is what I have written in the past regarding this verse:

In addition to that the author of the text while translating this verse has not translated the word ‘min’ and has instead replaced it with a dash. If translated according to Arabic grammar rules, the correct rendering should instead be the following where I have included this word:

“And whoever follows God and the Messenger is with those on whom God has bestowed blessings from amongst the prophets, the siddiqeen, the shuhadah and the righteous; they are the best company.” (An-Nisa 4:69)

In order to truly appreciate the meaning of these verses, one must follow the context at least from the 64th verse:

“And we did not send a Messenger except that he be followed by the leave of God. If they, when they were unjust to themselves, had only come unto you and asked for God’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had also asked for forgiveness for them, they would have found God indeed Forgiving, Merciful. But no, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you judge in all disputes between them, and find in them no resistance against your decisions and accept them with the fullest conviction. If We had ordered them to sacrifice their lives or to leave their homes, very few of them would have done it: But if they had done what they were (actually) told, it would have been it would be better for them, and more strengthening (for their faith); And then We would have given them from Ourselves a great reward; And We would have certainly guided them to the straight path.” (An-Nisa 4:64-68)

When followed in this context, it becomes evident that these verses are talking about the weak Muslims who had their loyalty distributed both between Muslims and non-Muslims. The next verse (verse 69) of this Surah simply continues the topic and states the status of those people who unconditionally submit to the commandments of God and His Messenger; a discussion which had already initiated in the preceding verses and quoted above.
