"A Jew said to his companion: 'Let us go to this Prophet.' His companion said to him: 'Do not say Prophet; if he hears you, he will become big-headed.' So they came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and asked him about nine clear signs. He said to them: 'Do not associate anything with Allah, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill any soul whom Allah has forbidden you to kill, except by right, do not speak falsely about an innocent man before a ruler, do not engage in magic, do not consume Riba (usury), do not slander chaste women, and do not flee on the day of the march (to battle). And for you Jews especially, do not break the Sabbath.' They kissed his hands and feet and said: 'We bear witness that you are a Prophet.' He said: 'What is keeping you from following me?' They said: 'Dawud prayed that there would always be a Prophet among his descendants, and we are afraid that if we follow you, the Jews will kill us.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4078)

"A Jew said to his companion: 'Accompany us to this Prophet.' So his companion said: 'Do not say: "Prophet". For if he hears you (say that) then he will be very happy.' So they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to question him about nine clear signs. So he said to them: 'Do not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit unlawful intercourse, nor take a life which Allah has made prohibited prohibited, except for what is required (in the law), nor hasten to damage the reputation of one of power so that he will be killed, nor practice magic, nor consume Riba, nor falsely accuse the chaste woman, nor turn to flee on the day of the march, and for you Jews particularly, to not violate the Sabbath.'" He said: "So they kissed his hands and his feet, and they said: 'We bear witness that you are a Prophet.' So he ﷺ said: 'Then what prevents you from following me?' They said: 'Because Dawud supplicated to his Lord that his offspring never be devoid of Prophets and we feared that if we follow you then the Jews will kill us.'"

He responded, 'Do not associate anything with Allah, do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right, and do not commit theft, fornication, flee from fighting in battle, practice sorcery, consume interest, do not deceive an innocent person to harm him, and it is upon you, O Jews, not to transgress on the Sabbath.'

"A Jew said to his companion: 'Let us go to this Prophet.' His companion said to him: 'Do not say Prophet; if he hears you, he will become big-headed.' So they came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and asked him about nine clear signs. He said to them: 'Do not associate anything with Allah, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill any soul whom Allah has forbidden you to kill, except by right, do not speak falsely about an innocent man before a ruler, do not engage in magic, do not consume Riba (usury), do not slander chaste women, and do not flee on the day of the march (to battle). And for you Jews especially, do not break the Sabbath.' They kissed his hands and feet and said: 'We bear witness that you are a Prophet.' He said: 'What is keeping you from following me?' They said: 'Dawud prayed that there would always be a Prophet among his descendants, and we are afraid that if we follow you, the Jews will kill us.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4078)

تَسْرِقُوا، وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتى حَرَمَ الله إِلاَّ بالحَقِّ، وَلاَ تَمْشُوا إِلَى سُلطَان بِبَرِئ فَيَقْتُلَهُ، وَلاَ تَسْحِرُوا، وَلاَ تَأكُلُوا الرِّبا، وَلاَ تَقْذفُوا المُحْصَنَةَ، وَلاَ تُوَلُّوا الفِرَار يَوْمَ الزَّحْف، وَعَلَيْكُمْ - خَاصَّةً يهود - لاَ تَعدُوا في السَّبْتِ، فَقَبَّلُوا يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَقَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نَبِىٌّ، قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعُونى؟ قَالاَ: إِنَّ دَاوُدَ دَعَا (أَن) (*) لاَ يَزَال فِى ذُرِّيَّتِه نَبِىٌّ، وَإِنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنَا يَهُودُ".
