Question:
His other question says: We read in the Noble Qur'an verses of command and prohibition addressed to the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) and his household. Are these directed at all of us?
Answer:
Yes. The default ruling for a command addressed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or a prohibition addressed to the Messenger, is that it is for his Ummah (community) as well as for him. This is the case unless evidence indicates that it is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Otherwise, the default is that the commands and prohibitions in the Book and the Sunnah are general for the entire Ummah. Yes.
