English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah told us, saying: Safwan told us, saying: Abd al-Rahman b. Jubayr b. Nufayr told us, from his father, from Awf b. Malik, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out one day, and I was with him, until we entered the synagogue of the Jews in Madinah on one of their feast days. They disliked our entering upon them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "O assembly of Jews, show me twelve men who will testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Allah will remove from every Jew beneath the vault of heaven the wrath He has been angered with against him." He said: They fell silent, and none of them answered him. Then he repeated it, and none of them answered him. Then he said it a third time, and none of them answered him. So he said, "You refuse. By Allah, I am indeed al-Hashir, and I am al-'Aqib, and I am the Prophet, the Chosen One — whether you believe or disbelieve." Then he turned to leave, and I was with him, until, when we were about to go out, a man called from behind us, "Wait, O Muhammad!" He said: So he turned back, and that man said, "What kind of man do you know him to be among you, O assembly of Jews?" They said, "By Allah, we do not know of any man among us more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah than you, nor more understanding than you, nor than your father before you, nor than your grandfather before your father." He said, "Then I bear witness by Allah that he is indeed the Prophet of Allah whom you find described in the Torah." They said, "You have lied," and they turned his statement against him and said evil things about him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have lied; your word will never be accepted. Just now you were praising him with all the good you praised, but when he believed, you called him a liar and said about him what you said — so your word will never be accepted." He said: We went out, we three: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), myself, and Abdullah b. Salam. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed concerning him: "Say, have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieve in it, while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to the like of it and believed, while you are arrogant — indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people."
