أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، أُخْبِرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ بِقُدُومِهِ وَهُوَ فِي نَخْلِهِ ، فَأَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ ، فَإِنْ أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِهَا آمَنْتُ بِكَ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمْهُنَّ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِنَبِيٍّ ، قَالَ : فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الشَّبَهِ ، وَعَنْ أَوَّلِ شَيْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعَنْ أَوَّلِ شَيْءٍ يَحْشُرُ النَّاسَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِنَّ جِبْرِيلُ آنِفًا ، قَالَ : ذَاكَ عَدُوُّ الْيَهُودِ ! قَالَ : " أَمَّا الشَّبَهُ : إِذَا سَبَقَ مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ ، ذَهَبَ بِالشَّبَهِ ، وَإِذَا سَبَقَ مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ ، ذَهَبَتْ بِالشَّبَهِ ، وَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ : فَزِيَادَةُ كَبِدِ حُوتٍ ، وَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَحْشُرُ النَّاسَ : فَنَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ ، فَتَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ " ، فَآمَنَ ، وَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَوْمٌ بُهْتٌ ، وَإِنَّهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا بِإِسْلَامِي يَبْهَتُونِي ، فَأَخْبِئْنِي عِنْدَكَ وَابْعَثْ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَاسْأَلَهُمْ عَنِّي ، فَخَبَّأَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَجَاءُوا ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ رَجُلٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : هُوَ خَيْرُنَا وَابْنُ خَيْرِنَا ، وَسَيِّدُنَا وَابْنُ سَيِّدِنَا ، وَعَالِمُنَا وَابْنُ عَالِمِنَا ، فَقَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَسْلَمَ ، تُسْلِمُونَ ؟ " فَقَالُوا : أَعَاذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ ، اخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ " ، فَخَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالُوا : شَرُّنَا وَابْنُ شَرِّنَا ، وَجَاهِلُنَا وَابْنُ جَاهِلِنَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَلَامٍ : قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَوْمٌ بُهْتٌ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Just now Jibreel has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, he draws the child towards himself, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, she draws the child towards herself." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they come to know of my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things before you. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me before they know of my Islam: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith before them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I had already informed you that the Jews are a people who fabricate slanders."
