But if they refuse then seek Assistance with Allah -azwj and fight them; and if you were to besiege the people of a fort or a city and they intend to descend to you upon the Judgment of Allah -azwj , do not let them descend upon the Judgment of Allah -azwj , but descend them upon your decision, for you do not know whether you will hit the correct Judgment of Allah -azwj regarding them or not.

[34] See for example: https://www.hubeali.com/article/battle-of-motah/ The Event of Mubahila: Year 9 The Christians came to Madinah to argue with the Holy Prophet -saww and insisted that Jesus (Prophet Isa -as ) is the son of God, Allah -azwj Revealed the following Verse: Surely the example of Isa with Allah is like the example of Adam; He Created him from dust, then said to him, Be, and he became [3:59].

Our 6 th Imam (Abu Abdullah -asws ) says: ‘The Christians of Najran [35] sent a delegation to Rasool-Allah -saww (for debating). They performed their Prayers by ringing bells, and they Prayed. The companions of Rasool-Allah -saww said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww !

This (is being done) in your -saww Masjid?’ So he -saww said: ‘Leave them.’ So, when they were free, they approached Rasool-Allah -saww and said to him -saww , ‘To what are you -saww inviting us?’ So, he -saww said: ‘To the testimony that there is no god except for Allah ‑azwj , and that I -saww am a Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj , and that Isa -as was a Created servant who used to eat and drink’.

They asked, ‘So who was his -as father?’ A Revelation came down unto Rasool-Allah -saww that he -saww should say to them: ‘What are you all saying regarding Adam -as , who was a Created servant, eating and drinking, and marrying?” So, the Prophet -saww asked them. They said, ‘Yes’. So, he -saww said: ‘So who was his -as father?’ They were astonished and remained silent.

Thus, Allah -azwj Revealed Surely, the example of Isa with Allah is like the example of Adam; He Created him from dust, then said to him, Be, and he became [3:59] up to His -azwj Words and make the Curse of Allah to be upon the liars [3:61] . Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Therefore imprecate (curse on the liar) with me -saww , so if I -saww was truthful the Curse would descend upon you all, but if I -saww were to be untruthful, then it would descend upon me -saww ’.
