their locks of hair in prayer, and so do the Rāfidah.

[The Jews do not prostrate until] they nod their heads repeatedly in a motion resembling (1) bowing, and so do the Rāfidah. The Jews hate (2) Gabriel and say, “He is our enemy among the angels.” Likewise, the Rāfidah say, “[Gabriel] (3) erred in delivering the revelation to Muhammad—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—(4).”

[Likewise, the Rāfidah] (5) agree with the Christians in one of their practices: their women receive no bridal dower; they merely derive pleasure from them (6). Likewise, the Rāfidah contract temporary marriages (7) and deem temporary marriage lawful.

The Jews and Christians are superior to the Rāfidah in two respects. The Jews were asked, “Who are the best people of your faith?” They replied, “The companions of Moses.” The Christians were asked, “Who are the best people of your faith?” They replied, “The disciples of Jesus (8).” The Rāfidah were asked, “Who are the worst people of your faith?” They replied, “The companions of Muhammad—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—(9).” They were commanded to seek forgiveness for them, yet they reviled them. Thus, the sword (10) remains drawn against them until the Day of Resurrection: no banner of theirs will rise, they will gain no firm foothold, their word will never be united (11), and no supplication of theirs will be answered,

(1) M reads *tushbihu* (“resembles”); A and L: *tashbīhun* (“a resemblance,” nominative); B: *tashbīhan* (“a resemblance,” accusative). (2) A and B read: “belittle”; L: “hate.” (3) “Gabriel” is added in A, L, and B. (4) “May Allah bless him and grant him peace” is omitted from A, L, and B. (5) “Likewise, the Rāfidah” is omitted from N and M. (6) *Tamattuʿan* (“for enjoyment”) is omitted only from L. (7) N and M read: “temporary marriage,” which is a corruption. (8) M reads: “Jesus, son of Mary.” (9) “May Allah bless him and grant him peace” is omitted from A, L, and B. (10) A and B read: “and the sword.” (11) A, L, and B read: “and they have no unity.”
