The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if the messenger is driven by new hair, how is it driven to the people of knowledge to the House of Israel in the ancients, for their work and they did not hold new hair in His saying, the Exalted?
The Shaykh:
And were the Prophets of the Children of Israel called messengers? They were not called that. Isa (peace be upon him) was called a messenger, and Musa and Harun (peace be upon them) were called messengers, and Isa (peace be upon him) was called the Messenger. As for the rest of them, they are prophets (peace and blessings be upon them), because they were sent with the Torah that Allah revealed to Musa:[Al-Ma'idah 5:44] [Al-Ma'idah 5:44]. So everyone who came after Musa (peace be upon him) among the prophets was sent with the Torah, even Isa (peace be upon him) was sent with the Torah, except that he was singled out with some legislations and abrogations due to what is in [Ali 'Imran 3:50].
The questioner:
Before.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?

Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا التَّوْرَاةَ فِيهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَwho submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah
الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا لِلَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالْأَحْبَارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوا مِن كِتَابِ اللَّهِof the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you

Before.
