Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39302 — What the Prophet (peace and blessings)

Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a Jew said to his companion: "Take us to this prophet!" His companion said: "No! Do not say 'prophet', for if he heard you, he would have four eyes." The narrator said: The two of them came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) about nine clear signs, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not associate anything with Allah, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not kill the soul that Allah Almighty has made sacred except by right, do not inform against an innocent person to one in power so that he kills that innocent person, do not practice sorcery, do not consume usury (riba), do not slander a chaste woman, and do not turn your backs to flee on the day of battle. And upon you in particular, O Jews, it is also binding that you do not transgress concerning the Sabbath." The narrator said: The Jews kissed his (peace and blessings be upon him) hands and feet and began to say: "We bear witness that you are a true prophet." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What then prevents you from following me?" They said: "Dawud prayed that prophethood should continue in his offspring, and we fear that the Jews will kill us."
