(3:81) And recall when Allah took a covenant from the Prophets: 'This is
the Book and the Wisdom which I have given you. But should a Prophet come to
you confirming that which is already with you, you shall believe in him and
shall help him.69 So saying, Allah asked: 'Do you agree and accept
to take up the burden of the covenant?' They answered: 'We agree,' He said:
'Then bear wirness; and I will be with you among the witness. (3:82) Then whosoever shall turn away from this covenant they are the transgressors.70
69. A party of the People of the Book would fain lead you astray, whereas in truth they lead none astray except themselves, but they do not realize it.
70. People of the Book! Why do you reject the signs of Allah even though you yourselves witness them?60
