So, if this Muhammad -saww is the one who Musa -as gave the glad tidings with, and (so did) Dawood -as , and Isa -as , he -saww will suspend the Torah and Permit for us what is Prohibited unto us from before. If he -saww were to be upon our Religion, it would be more beloved to us’. فقال عبد الله بن سلام: يا قوم اخترتم الدنيا على الآخرة والعذاب على الرحمة ؟ قالوا: لا.
قال: وكيف لا تتبعون داعي الله ؟ قالوا: يا ابن سلام وما علمنا أن محمدا صادق فيما يقول: ؟ قال: فإذا نسأله عن الكائن والمكون والناسخ والمنسوخ، فإن كان نبيا كما يزعم فإنه سيبين كما بين الانبياء من قبل. Abdullah Bin Salam said, ‘O people! Are you choosing the world over the Hereafter, and the Punishment over the Mercy?’ They said, ‘No’. He said, ‘And how come you are not following the caller of Allah -azwj ?’ They said, ‘O Ibn Salam!
And what would make us know that Muhammad -saww is truthful in what he -saww is saying?’ Ibn Salam said, ‘When we ask him -saww about the future and the past, and the Abrogating and the Abrogated, if he -saww was a Prophet -saww just as he -saww alleges, he -saww would manifest it just as it was manifested by the Prophets -as from before’. قالوا: يا ابن سلام سر إلى محمد حتى تنقض كلامه وتنظر كيف يرد عليك الجواب ؟.
فقال: إنكم قوم تجهلون، لو كان هذا محمد الذي بشر به موسى وعيسى بن مريم وكان خاتم النبيين فلو اجتمع الثقلان: الانس والجن على أن يردوا على محمد حرفا واحدا أو آية ما استطاعوا بإذن الله. They said, ‘O Ibn Salam! Travel to Muhammad -saww until you break his -saww speech and you see how he -saww responds and answers you’. Ibn Salam said, ‘You are an ignorant people!
If this Muhammad -saww is the one who Musa -as and Isa Bin Maryam -as gave the glad tidings with, and he -saww was the last of the Prophets -as , even if the two communities of the Jinn and the humans were to gather upon rebutting against Muhammad -saww a single word, or a sentence, they would not be able to, by the Permission of Allah -azwj ’. Ibn Salam asked many questions from Rasool Allah -saww (An extract).
