عَنْ أَبِي نَمْلَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! هَلْ تَتَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ)) قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ: أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ، وَقُولُوا: آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Namla Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a Jewish man came and said: "O Muhammad! Do these funerals speak?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Allah Almighty knows best." He said: "I bear witness that they do speak." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the People of the Book relate something to you, do not confirm it nor deny it, but rather say: «آمَنَّا بِاللّٰہِ وَکُتُبِہِ وَرُسُلِہِ» (We believe in Allah, His Books, and His Messengers.) So if it is true, you have not denied it, and if it is false, you have not confirmed it."
