A large number of traditions like this have been recorded and the words of Allah when He said to His Prophet:
That you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you.23
It means that no messenger came to them before that who may have made changes in the Shariat or community. Neither negation was done to the guidance of their successors; and how can the Almighty Allah negate this when He says:
And they swore by Allah with the strongest of their oaths that if there came to them a warner they would be better guided than any of the nations; but when there came to them a warner it increased them in naught but aversion.24
And we have mentioned other similar narrations in this book. And there is no strength and power except by Allah, the Mighty and the High.
