And when the decree was: "We have given him that; so that the people of the Torah may cease from what they have abrogated of it"; he followed it with his saying: ﴿And let them judge﴾; in the reading of Hamzah; with a kasrah on the lam; and the meaning - according to the saying of the majority with the sukoon; and the plural; and the jasm - is: "Let the people of the Torah cease from what has been abrogated of it; and let the people of the Gospel judge"; and they are the followers of Jesus - blessings and peace be upon him - ﴿by what Allah has revealed﴾; meaning: the One, the Unique; who possesses all the attributes of perfection; ﴿in it﴾; from the signs of the prophethood of Muhammad - blessings and peace be upon him -; and from other than that of what we have entrusted to him of the rulings; and the great admonitions.

And when the decree was: "So whoever refrains, those are the Muslims; and whoever judges by what Allah has revealed, those are the successful"; he added to it his saying: ﴿And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed﴾; meaning: the Most High King; who has no authority with anyone alongside Him; for Him is everything; and no one has anything alongside Him; and everything is in need of Him; and He has no need of anything in it; or in anything else; and it is not abrogated; by adhering to its abandonment; or due to a desire that prompted; ﴿So those﴾; meaning: the far removed from all good; the detestable; ﴿They are the disobedient﴾; meaning: those who are specifically characterized by the fullness of disobedience; for if it is by adherence, it is disbelief; and if it is for following desires, it is merely a sin; because desires and lusts lead to transgressing the bounds of the law repeatedly; so whoever abandons judgment in denial has gathered the three degrees: concealing the evidence; so he is transferred from the degree of light to the degree of darkness; and he falls into the abyss of departing from the virtues; and he descends to the ugliest of vices; and the expression with the descriptive term indicating the essence in the source of derivation; indicates that what is meant by each one of them is disbelief; so it is true that what is meant by it is the legal - not the absolute concealment - the ultimate verification; and he clarified by describing it as injustice that it is a concealment of what should be made apparent; and by disobedience that it has reached a point of being in a place other than its end; until it has breached all bounds of what is permitted; so it has exited from it; and this is a reference to the sins of the people of the Gospel; to produce the refutation of their claims of sonship and love; because the meaning is: and it is clear in Your Book which has been made a guardian over all books; that they have opposed its rulings; so they are disobedient; meaning: they are outside of what is meant to be stable in it; for its benefit; thus they are in the darkness that necessitates placing something in its inappropriate place; necessitating concealment and covering; and he preceded the description with disbelief; because the context is for those who distort the words from their places; and changed what was written of the definitive rulings of the Torah from the limits; and that is the covering which is the meaning of disbelief; because it is of the darkness; just as disobedience is the cause of injustice; because it is the departure from what is meant to be beneficial; so the latter was first in meaning; and the former was last in reality; and the verse indicates that in it are rulings; and likewise His saying (the Most High) in "Al-Imran": ﴿And I have made lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you﴾ [Al-Imran: 50]; and this is the truth; and the greatest of what has been changed is the prohibition of the Sabbath; which was one of their greatest rituals; so He made it lawful; and also changed other than that from their rulings; he said in what I saw of the translation of the Gospel of Matthew: You have heard what was said to the ancients: Do not kill; for whoever kills, the blame of the community is upon him; and whoever says to his brother: You fool; the fire of Hell is upon him; if you bring your offering to the altar; and there remember that your brother has something against you; leave your offering there before the altar; and go first and be reconciled to your brother; and then come and offer your gift; be reconciled quickly with your adversary while you are on the way with him; lest your adversary deliver you to the judge; and the judge to the officer; and you be thrown into prison; and in the Gospel of Luke: If you see a cloud rising from the west, you say: A rain is coming; and so it is; and when the south wind blows, you say: It will be hot; O hypocrites; you know how to discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time? And do you not judge for yourselves what is right? (p-176) Because if you go with your adversary to the magistrate, give him what you owe on the way; so you may be freed from him; lest he drag you to the judge; and the judge deliver you to the officer; and the officer throw you into prison; and Matthew said: Truly, truly, I say to you; you will not depart from there until you have paid the last penny; you have heard what was said to the ancients: Do not commit adultery; and I say to you: Whoever looks at a woman and desires her has already committed adultery with her in his heart; if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away; for it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell; it was said: Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce; and I say to you: Whoever divorces his wife without a word of adultery has made her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery; and you have also heard what was said to the ancients: Do not break your oath; but fulfill to the Lord your oaths; and I say to you: Do not swear at all; neither by heaven; for it is the throne of Allah; nor by the earth; for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King; nor by your head; for you cannot make one hair white or black; but let your word be: Yes, yes; or no, no; and whatever is more than that is from evil; you have heard what was said: An eye for an eye; and a tooth for a tooth; and I say to you: Do not resist the evil one; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; (p-177) and if anyone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; and whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two; Luke said: And whoever asks you, give to him; and whoever wants to borrow from you, do not turn him away; and just as you want people to do to you, do to them likewise; and Matthew said: You have heard what was said: Love your neighbor; and hate your enemy; and I say to you: Love your enemies; bless those who curse you; do good to those who hate you - and Luke said: who hate you - and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you; that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good; and sends rain on the just and on the unjust; and if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?! Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?! Do not even the tax collectors do so?! And Luke said: If you love those who love you, what reward do you have?! For even sinners love those who love them; and if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?! For even sinners do the same; and if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you?! For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back; but love your enemies; and do good; and be merciful just as your Father is merciful; and Matthew said: Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Then he said in the thirty-third section: And in that time (p-178) Jesus passed through the fields on a Sabbath; and his disciples were hungry; so they began to pluck heads of grain and eat - and in Luke: his disciples were cutting the grain and rubbing it in their hands and eating - when the Pharisees saw them, they said to him: Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath - and in Luke: Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths? - He said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those with him; how he entered the house of Allah and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests? Mark said: And he gave to those who were with him; then he said to them: The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath; Matthew said: Have you not read in the Law that the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? And I say to you: Here is something greater than the temple, if you had known what was written; for I desire mercy, not sacrifice; why do you judge those who are innocent? And Luke said: And he entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread; and they were watching him closely; and behold, there was a man who had dropsy; and Jesus spoke to the priests and the Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? But they kept silent; and he took him and healed him; then he said to them: Which of you, having a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath, will not immediately pull him out? And they could not answer him regarding this; then Matthew said: And the Pharisees came to test him (p-179), saying: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason? He answered: Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female; for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh; therefore what Allah has joined together, let not man separate - and Mark said: No man can separate it - They said to him: Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and put her away? He said to them: Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it was not so; and I say to you: Whoever divorces his wife except for sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery; and in the Gospel of Mark: And in the house, his disciples also asked him about this; and he said to them: Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery; and in Luke: Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery; Matthew said: Then the disciples said to him: If such is the case of the man with the woman, it is better not to marry; he said to them: Not everyone can accept this saying, except those to whom it has been given; for there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven; and he who is able to accept it, let him accept it.
