Treating everything before and after a prophetic appointment under one undifferentiated rule creates unnecessary objections. Some incidents belong to the prophet's earlier biography, while after appointment the demands of example, communication and public trust are directly engaged.
The protection from disbelief was described as applying to both periods. Other categories are treated with attention to timing, intention, inadvertence and whether the alleged act undermines the prophetic mission.
