واعتمد على ربك، وفَوِّضْ جميع أمورك إليه، وحسبك به حافظًا لمن توكل عليه وأناب إليه.

وثق باللّه في حصول ذلك الأمر على أي: حال كان.{ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا } توكل إليه الأمور، فيقوم بها، وبما هو أصلح للعبد، وذلك لعلمه بمصالح عبده، من حيث لا يعلم العبد، وقدرته على إيصالها إليه، من حيث لا يقدر عليها العبد، وأنه أرحم بعبده من نفسه، ومن والديه، وأرأف به من كل أحد، خصوصًا خواص عبيده، الذين لم يزل يربيهم ببره، ويُدِرُّ عليهم بركاته الظاهرة والباطنة، خصوصًا وقد أمره بإلقاء أموره إليه، ووعده، فهناك لا تسأل عن كل أمر يتيسر، وصعب يسهل، وخطوب تهون، وكروب تزول، وأحوال وحوائج تقضى، وبركات تنزل، ونقم تدفع، وشرور ترفع.وهناك ترى العبد الضعيف، الذي فوض أمره لسيده، قد قام بأمور لا تقوم بها أمة من الناس، وقد سهل اللّه [عليه] ما كان يصعب على فحول الرجال وباللّه المستعان.

Which was revealed in Al-Madinah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Command to defy the Disbelievers and Hypocrites by followingthe Revelation of Allah and putting One's Trust in Him
Here Allah points out something lower by referring to something higher. When He commands His servant and Messenger to do this, He is also commanding those who are lower than him, and the command is addressed to them more so. Talq bin Habib said: "Taqwa means obeying Allah in the light of the guidance of Allah and in hope of earning the reward of Allah, and refraining from disobeying Allah in the light of the guidance of Allah and fearing the punishment of Allah."
وَلاَ تُطِعِ الْكَـفِرِينَ وَالْمُنَـفِقِينَ
(and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites.) means, do not listen to what they say and do not consult them.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً
(Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise) means, He is more deserving of your following His commandments and obeying Him, for He knows the consequences of all things and is Wise in all that He says and does. Allah says:
وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَـيْكَ مِن رَبِّكَ
(And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord.) meaning, of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيراً
(Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.) means, nothing at all is hidden from Him, and put your trust in Allah, i.e., in all your affairs and situations.
وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلاً
(and sufficient is Allah as a Wakil.) means, sufficient is He as a Trustee for the one who puts his trust in Him and turns to Him.

And put your trust in God regarding this affair of yours; and God suffices as Guardian to preserve you. And the members of his the Prophet’s community are subject to the same admonitions in all of the above.

Once again, the last statement: وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّـهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّـهِ وَكِيلًا (And place your trust in Allah and Allah is enough as a guardian- 3) is also a complement of the same order. Here it is being said: As for your approach, just pay no heed to what they say and, in order to succeed in your objective, you should trust no one but Allah for He, in Himself and by Himself, is the ultimate doer, maker and fixer of all matters and things. With Him there, you do not need to acquiesce in the opinion of anyone.
Ruling
The cited verse proves that, in religious matters, even consulting with disbelievers is not permissible. In other matters relating to technical or functional experience, there is no harm in doing so. And Allah knows best.
