٢٨١١٣ - حدثنا ابن مهدي عن سفيان عن (سعد) (١) بن إبراهيم عن عطاء بن (يسار) (٢) قال: كانت اليهود تجيء إلى المسلمين فيحدثونهم فيستحسنون، أو قال: يستحبون، فذكروا ذلك لرسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: "لا تصدقوهم ولا تكذبوهم وقولوا" ﴿آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا (٣)﴾ [المائدة: ٥٩]، إلى آخر الآية (٤).
Hazrat Ata bin Yasar narrates that the Jews used to come to the Muslims and tell them things from their books which the Muslims liked. So the Companions mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not affirm them, nor deny them. Rather, say: We believe in Allah, and in what He has revealed to us, and in what He has revealed to you, up to the end of the verse.
