people by making them say: ‘None has the right to be worshiped but <strong>Al</strong>laah’, with which<br />
will be opened blind eyes, and deaf ears, and enveloped hearts.” 114<br />
`Aṭaa’ Ibn Yasaar then said: I (later) met Ka`b (al-Ahbaar) رضيُاهللُعنه and asked him the<br />
same. He replied (exactly) the same (as `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr), without any change in<br />
wording. 115<br />
<strong>Al</strong>-Baihaqee reported from a different route on the authority of `Aṭaa’ Ibn Yasaar that<br />
(`Abdullaah) Ibn Salaam رضيُاهللُعنه used to say: “We do find the description of the Prophet<br />
(mentioned in our books): ‘{O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a ﷺ<br />
giver of glad tidings, and a warner}, and guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave<br />
and My messenger. I have named you “al-Mutawakkil” (who depends upon <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
alone). You are neither discourteous, harsh, nor a noisemaker in the markets; and you<br />
do not 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 />
people by making them say: “None has the right to be worshiped but <strong>Al</strong>laah”, with<br />
which will be opened blind eyes, and deaf ears, and enveloped hearts.’” `Aṭaa’ further<br />
said: <strong>Al</strong>-Laithee informed me that he had heard Ka`b al-Ahbaar saying the same like Ibn<br />
Salaam. 116<br />
I (Ibn Katheer) say: The narration from `Abdullaah Ibn Salaam is similar to the earlier<br />
narration, but there are more narrations from `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr due to the fact that<br />
he found two bags full of books of the People of the Book on the day of the battle of al-<br />
Yarmook, and he used to narrate from that a great deal. 117<br />
One should know that many people from the Salaf (predecessors) used to apply the<br />
word “Taurah” to the books of the People of the Book. They used it more generally (to<br />

I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: al-Daarimee reported it in his Sunan (6), from the same route (as al-Baihaqee) and in it is<br />
`Abdullaah Ibn Ṣaaleh who is “Ḍha`eef”.<br />
117 [TN: `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr رضيُاهللُعنهما used to narrate from those scrolls because the Prophet ﷺ had allowed it<br />
when he ﷺ said: ❝Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single Aayah (Verse, sentence), and<br />
tell others the stories of Banee Israa’eel, for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally,<br />
will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (3461) and Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2669)]]<br />
