Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَغَيْرُهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَهْدُوكُمْ وَقَدْ ضَلُّوا فَإِنَّكُمْ إِمَّا أَنْ تُصَدِّقُوا بِبَاطِلٍ أَوْ تُكَذِّبُوا بِحَقٍّ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُوسَى حَيًّا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ مَا حَلَّ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَّبِعَنِي.
English Translation
Yunus and others told us, they said: Hammad - meaning Ibn Zayd - told us, Mujalid told us, from 'Amir al-Sha'bi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Do not ask the People of the Book about anything, for they will never guide you, and they have already gone astray. You would either believe something false or deny something true. Indeed, if Musa were alive among you, it would not be lawful for him except to follow me."
