> You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
> Qur'an 5:82 **Question**: Does Qur'an 5:82 only apply at the time of the Prophet? A tafsir explains it was revealed for specific circumstances at the time: > These verses were revealed about the Negus and his followers.
> Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi However, this does not necessarily imply it no longer applies.
