فَضْلٌ فِي الرُّخْصَةِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ
Its virtue regarding the concession in narrating from the People of the Book
Hadith 304
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Convey from me, even if it is only one verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in that. And whoever deliberately lies about me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."
Hadith 305
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَنَتَحَدِّثُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، تَحَدَّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُحَدِّثُونَ عَنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Can we narrate from the Children of Israel?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you may narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in it, for indeed whatever you narrate from them, among them are found matters even more astonishing than that."
