1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

meaning, he believed in it and ruled by it.

Children of Israel,
وَلِأُحِل َّ لَكُم بَعْضَ‏ ال َّذِي حُر ِّمَ‏ عَلَيْكُمْ‏
...and to make lawful to you part of what

Allah's statement,
وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً‏ ل ِّلْمُت َّقِينَ‏ ﴿٤٦ ﴾
