those who follow the Messenger , ' the Prophet of the common folk , whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel , bidding them to honour , and forbidding them dishonour , making lawful for them the good things and making unlawful for them the corrupt things , and relieving them of their loads , and the fetters that were upon them . Those who believe in him and succour him and help him , and follow the light that has been sent down with him -- they are the prosperers . '
