Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allah's Apostle said (to the Muslims). Do not believe the people of the Book, nor disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.'
Read More..Narrated Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas said, Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Qur'an) which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!

Read More..Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the time of the death of the Prophet approached while there were some men in the house, and among them was `Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said, Come near let me write for you a writing after which you will never go astray. `Umar said, The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the Qur'an, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us. The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of them said, Come near so that Allah's Apostle may write for you a writing after which you will not go astray, while some of them said what `Umar said. When they made much noise and differed greatly before the Prophet, he said to them, Go away and leave me. Ibn `Abbas used to say, It was a great disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allah's Apostle from writing that writing for them.
Read More..Narrated Ata: I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah in a gathering saying, We, the companions of Allah's Apostle assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without `Umra. Jabir added, The Prophet arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation). Jabir added, The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, When there remains only five days between us and the Day of `Arafat he orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to `Arafat with our male organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah's Apostle stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet and obeyed him. (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)
