Then we sent our messengers to follow in their footsteps, and we sent Isa, son of Maryam, after them, and gave him the Gospel. And we placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. As for the monasticism they invented — we did not prescribe it for them — they took it on only seeking the pleasure of God, yet they did not observe it as it should have been observed. So we gave those among them who believed their reward, but many of them are deviant.
