Our Prophet's Practices concerning

the Torah and the Gospel

Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the Book used to read
the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the

Muslims. (Sahih Bukhari, Book 92, Hadith 460)

Al-Hafiz al-Zahabi related that Abdullah ibn Salam, a con-
vert to Islam from Judaism, came to the Prophet (pbuh) and
said "I read the Qur'an and the Torah (last night)." He
replied, "Read one in one night and the other on another
night." (al-Thalabi, Al-Iman al-Thalabi Tathkarar al-Huf-

fadh, Vol. 1, p. 27)

Abdullah ibn Amr, one of the close companions of the
Prophet (pbuh), would frequently read the Torah. One night
he dreamed that he was holding oil in one hand and honey in
the other, and that he sometimes ate from one hand and
sometimes from the other. Abdullah ibn Amr described his
dream to the Prophet (pbuh). The Prophet (pbuh) interpreted
his dream as meaning the two books, and his reading some-

times from the one and sometimes from the other. (Sahih
Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadith 987, p. 439)

From Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: We asked the Prophet (pbuh): "O
the Messenger of God! May we relate accounts from the Chil-
dren of Israel?" He said, "Yes, you may relate accounts from
the Children of Israel. There is no problem. Know that if you

relate accounts from them, there is more interesting informa-
tion as well." (Musnad of ibn Hanbal, 111/12, Hadith 11034)
