Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29302

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, Abu Dawud told us, Yazid bin Harun, and Abu Al-Walid told us, and the wording is the word Yazid and the meaning is the same. On the authority of Shu`bah, on the authority of Amr ibn Murrah, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Salamah, on the authority of Safwan ibn Assal al-Muradi, that two Jews, one of them said To its owner Take us to this prophet, we will ask him. He said, “Do not call him a prophet, for if he heard us say, ‘A prophet had four eyes,’ they would come.” The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked him about the words of God Almighty: (And We gave Moses nine clear signs.) Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said And peace be upon him: “Do not associate anything with God, nor commit adultery, nor kill the soul that God has forbidden, except in a just manner, nor steal, nor commit witchcraft, nor engage in witchcraft.” An innocent person will be brought to authority and he will kill him. And do not consume usury, and do not slander unlawful matters, and do not flee from advance. Shu’bah’s doubt is upon you. “The Jews in particular are not to transgress the Sabbath.” Then they kissed his hands and his feet and said, “We bear witness that you are a prophet.” He said, “What prevents you from “They said, ‘Dawud prayed to God that there would always be a prophet in his descendants, and we fear that if we surrender, the Jews will kill us.’” He said This is a good and authentic hadith
