Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

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