حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، وَغَيْرُهُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تَسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَهْدُوكُمْ، وَقَدْ ضَلُّوا، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِمَّا أَنْ تُصَدِّقُوا بِبَاطِلٍ، أَوْ تُكَذِّبُوا بِحَقٍّ، فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُوسَى حَيًّا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ، مَا حَلَّ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَّبِعَنِي " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not ask the People of the Book about anything, because they will never show you the right path, for they themselves are misguided. Now, either you will end up confirming something false or denying something true. And even if Musa were alive among you, he would have no choice but to follow me.
