of the first century of the Hegira, and held a high rank there as a
juris-consult, (_vide_ para. 112) held, that Jihad was only incumbent on
the Companions of the Prophet, and was not binding on any one else after

Fluegel and Rodwell's numbers of verses in their editions and
translations of the Koran.]
