[ We were commanded to differ from the People of the Book in what God has not permitted ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


And when he ordered it to be made up, he emphasized its likeness to Ramadan, not to a specific vow. If the day of a vow passes, it is not made up for, even if the one who made it held the rest of his day if he did not spend the night, and when he commanded us to fast it and he urged us to do so, he had commanded us to differ from the People of the Book, the Jews and Christians, and that is in what they legislated for themselves, which God did not permit and they changed it. And they changed, and what they legislated for themselves was not distinguished with us from what their Prophet legislated for them, so we were commanded to differ from them except for what the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, decided for us, which was legislated for them, so we taught it with certainty, such as stoning a married man and establishing prayer for those who remembered after forgetting, so when it was established, we learned about it .
