And the revealed law of Muhammad will not be abrogated until the Resurrection Day and there will be no prophet after him until the Resurrection Day. Then these five prophets who possessed resolution ( ulu al-‘azm) are the most noble prophets and apostles, peace be upon them. And every prophet who was in the time of Jesus and after him had the rites of Jesus and his revealed law and followed his Book until the time of our Prophet Muhammad (S). It is reported that Abu al-Hasan Al-Ridha’ (‘a) said, “Every prophet who was in the time of Moses (‘a) and after him had the revealed law of Moses and his rites and followed his Book until the time of Jesus (‘a). So this revealed law came for the sake of both. It is reported in true narrations that getting married without limit was permitted in the revealed law of Moses for the sake of men’s affairs and in the revealed law of Jesus only one was permitted for the sake of women’s affairs. So the true and tolerant religion came down permitting both of them. It is reported that there was retaliation in the revealed law of Moses and blood money was necessary in the revealed law of Jesus.
