And it has been authentically reported in the “Ṣaḥeeḥ” that the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
came to “Bait al-Midraas” of the Jews (a synagogue where they used to recite the ﷺ<br />
Taurah and came for gathering). He ﷺ said to them: ❝O assembly of the Jews!<br />
Surrender to <strong>Al</strong>laah (accept Islaam) and you will be safe. [By the One in Whose Hand<br />
is my soul! You indeed find my description mentioned in your books.]❞ 112<br />
Narrated `Aṭaa’ Ibn Yasaar: I met `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr Ibn <strong>Al</strong>-`Aaṣ رضيُاهللُعنهما and asked<br />
him: Tell me about the description of <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ which is mentioned in<br />
Taurah. He replied: “Yes! By <strong>Al</strong>laah, he is described in Taurah with some of the qualities<br />
attributed to him in the Qur’aan as follows: {O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness<br />
(for <strong>Al</strong>laah’s True religion), and a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), and a<br />
warner (to the unbelievers)}, 113 and guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and<br />
My messenger. I have named you “al-Mutawakkil” (who depends upon <strong>Al</strong>laah alone).<br />
You are neither discourteous, harsh, nor a noisemaker in the markets; and you do not<br />
do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and<br />
kindness. <strong>Al</strong>laah will not let him (the Prophet) die till he makes straight the crooked<br />
It was narrated that `Abdullaah Ibn Mas`ood رضيُاهللُعنه said: “Verily, <strong>Al</strong>laah sent His Prophet ﷺ to be the cause of<br />
a man entering Paradise! He ﷺ entered the synagogue and saw some Jews, and one of the Jews was reading<br />
the Taurah to them. When they came to a description of the Prophet ,ﷺ they stopped reading and there was a<br />
sick man in the gathering. The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Why did you stop reading?❞ The sick man said: ‘They came<br />
to a description of a Prophet, so they stopped reading.’ Then the sick man came crawling, until he took the Taurah<br />
and read until he came to the description of the Prophet ﷺ and his Ummah. And he said: ‘This is a description<br />
of you and your Ummah. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but <strong>Al</strong>laah and that you are the<br />
Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah.’ Then he died, and the Prophet ﷺ said to his companions: ❝Take care of your brother.<br />
❞ [Musnad Aḥmad (3951) and its narrators are reliable] [TN: But in “Irwaa al-Ghaleel” (2479, 2707), the Shaikh<br />
graded this Ḥadeeth as “Ḍha`eef”.]<br />
112 I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: Imaam al-Bukhaaree mentioned this in his “Ṣaḥeeḥ” in three places (3167, 6944, 7348) and<br />
Muslim in his Ṣaḥeeḥ (1765-61); but without the phrase mentioned within the brackets.<br />
[TN: The complete narration is as follows:<br />
Narrated Abu Hurairah :رضيُاهللُعنه While we were in the Masjid, <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ came out and said: ❝(Let<br />
us) go to the Jews.❞ So we went out with him till we came to Bait-al-Midraas. The Prophet ﷺ stood up there<br />
and called them, saying: ❝O assembly of Jews! Surrender to <strong>Al</strong>laah (embrace Islaam) and you will be safe!❞<br />
They said: “You have conveyed <strong>Al</strong>laah’s message, O Aba-al-Qaasim” <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ then said to them:<br />
❝That is what I want; embrace Islaam and you will be safe.❞ They said: “You have conveyed the message, O<br />
Aba-al- Qaasim.” <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ then said to them: ❝That is what I want❞, and repeated his words<br />
for the third time and added, ❝Know that the earth is for <strong>Al</strong>laah and I want to exile you from this land (Arabian<br />
peninsula), so whoever among you has property he should sell it, otherwise, know that the land is for <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
and His Messenger.❞]<br />
