When he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a Jew was also with him, a funeral passed by him. He (the Jew) asked (Him): Muhammad, does this funeral speak? The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah has more knowledge. The Jew said: It speaks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whatever the people of the Book tell you, do not verify them, nor falsify them, but say: We believe in Allah and His Apostle. If it is false, do not confirm it, and if it is right, do not falsify it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3644)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ تَتَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ

[Machine] It was reported to us that while he was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ , a man from the Jews passed by a funeral. He said, "O Muhammad, does this funeral speak?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah knows best." The Jew said, "It does speak." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not believe the people of the Book, nor reject them. Instead, say, 'We believe in Allah, His Books, and His Messengers.' If it is false, they will not believe it, and if it is true, they will not deny it."  

أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَمَرَّ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ تَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اللهُ أَعْلَمُ» فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أَنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ يُصَدَّقُوا وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ يُكَذَّبُوا»  

[Machine] He informed him that while he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man from the Jews came to him and said, "O Muhammad, does this funeral speak?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah knows best." The Jew said, "I bear witness that it speaks." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What the people of the Scripture tell you, do not deny them, nor confirm them. Rather, say: 'We believe in Allah and His messengers and His books.' If it is true, do not deny it, and if it is false, do not confirm it."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah knows best." The Jew said, "I bear witness that it speaks." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What people of the scripture tell you, neither believe nor disbelieve them. Rather, say, 'We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims in submission to Him.' If it is true, then you have not disbelieved them, and if it is false, then you have not believed them."
