The Baha'i Studies Listserv Dear Susan, Interesting point. I have also heard of hadiths that could be construed to point to the Faith, so we would probably not want to throw them all out. Like most prophecies, they can be interpreted to fit many points of view. This reminds me a little of a discussion by Michael Sours that tried to dissuade Baha'is from seeing Paul as some kind of Covenant-breaker. For one thing, the same strict successional form of Covenant did not exist. Secondly, there are a number of things from Paul that assist in teaching the Faith, such as defining the fruits of the spirit that Christ said to watch for.
