Imam Ahmad recorded from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah said to
Ubayy bin Ka`b,
«إِنَّ اللهَ
أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ
[لَمْ يَكُنِ
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ]
»
(Verily, Allah has commanded me to recite to you (Those who disbelieve from
among the People of the Scripture.)) Ubayy said, "He (Allah) mentioned me by
name to you'' The Prophet replied,
«نَعَم»
(Yes.) So he (Ubayy) cried. Al-Bukhari, Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i all
recorded this Hadith from Shu`bah.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[لَمْ يَكُنِ
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكّينَ حَتَّى
تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيّنَةُ- رَسُولٌ مّنَ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفاً مُّطَهَّرَةً-
فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيّمَةٌ- وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ إِلاَّ مِن
بَعْدِ مَا جَآءتْهُمُ الْبَيّنَةُ- وَمَآ أُمِرُواْ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ
مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدّينَ حُنَفَآء وَيُقِيمُواْ الصَّلَوةَ وَيُؤْتُواْ الزَّكَوةَ
وَذَلِكَ دِينُ القَيّمَةِ-]
(1. Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Scripture and the
idolators, were not going to leave until there came to them the Bayyinah.) (2. A
Messenger from Allah reciting purified pages.) (3. Wherein are upright Books.)
(4. And the People of the Scripture differed not until after there came to them
the Bayyinah.) (5. And they were commanded not, but that they should worship
Allah, making religion purely for Him alone, Hunafa', and that they perform
Salah and give Zakah, and that is the right religion.)
