[Machine] I was taught a verse from the Quran that a man had never asked me about before, so I do not know if people know it and have not asked about it, or if they are unaware of it and therefore do not ask about it. Then he suddenly woke up and started speaking to us, so when he got up, we recited together that we should not ask him about it. I said to myself that I would ask him about it tomorrow, so when the next day came, I said to Ibn Abbas, "Did you mention yesterday that a man had never asked you about a verse from the Quran? So you do not know if people know it and have not asked about it, or if they are unaware of it and therefore do not ask about it?" So I said to him, "Tell me about it and the ones you recited before it." He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Quraysh, 'O People of Quraysh, none is worshipped besides Allah is better, and Quraysh knew that the Christians worshiped Jesus son of Mary, and what do you say about Muhammad?' They said, 'O Muhammad, do you claim that Jesus was a prophet and a righteous slave of Allah? If you are truthful, then certainly their gods are as you say.' So Allah revealed, 'And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud....' (Quran 43:57). I said, 'What did they laugh at?' He said, 'They whispered (in disbelief). And indeed, it is knowledge of the Hour... ' (Quran 43:61). He said, 'It is the exit of Jesus son of Maryﷺ before the Day of Resurrection.'"
