Hadith 2685
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَن عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، كَيْفَ تَسْأَلُونَ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ ، وَكِتَابُكُمُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْدَثُ الْأَخْبَارِ بِاللَّهِ تَقْرَءُونَهُ لَمْ يُشَبْ ، وَقَدْ حَدَّثَكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ بَدَّلُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ ، وَغَيَّرُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمُ الْكِتَابَ ، فَقَالُوا : هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ ، لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ، أَفَلَا يَنْهَاكُمْ مَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ عَنْ مُسَاءَلَتِهِمْ ، وَلَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلًا قَطُّ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ " .
Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utba: Ibn `Abbas said, "O Muslims? How do you ask the people of the Scriptures, though your Book (i.e. the Qur'an) which was revealed to His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you recite it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you that the people of the scriptures have changed with their own hands what was revealed to them and they have said (as regards their changed Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly benefit thereby." Ibn `Abbas added: "Isn't the knowledge revealed to you sufficient to prevent you from asking them? By Allah I have never seen any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to you."
وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ : لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ أَهْلِ الْمِلَلِ بَعْضِهِمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى : فَأَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ سورة المائدة آية 14 ، وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَا تُصَدِّقُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ ، وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ سورة البقرة آية 136 الْآيَةَ .
'And Sha’bi said: It is not permissible to accept the testimony of people of other religions against one another, because of Allah’s statement: «فأغرينا بينهم العداوة والبغضاء» "We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them." Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that regarding the People of the Book (in their religious traditions), neither affirm nor deny them, but rather say: We believe in Allah and in whatever He has revealed.
