Abraham married Sarai when he was 50 and she was the 3. He was the original.

This is most likely because the prophets are mock heroes, ie the muslim protagonist in Slumdog. The monotheists are least ashamed of their litany of crimes (after all they are spreading the truth), but for their prophets and exemplars to be implicated in a mock setup is utterly damning to their 'worldview'. It is like the mafia: they care least about their crimes; in fact, the more crimes the better. But if one is found to be an agent, then the mafia turns against them. If the head himself turns agent, then the entire organization collapses.
With Jesus, they revised the formula, and had him as a prophet of peace, the most he can be blamed for is cursing a fig tree...
