[Machine] The Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Abu al-Qasim, we ask you about certain matters. If you answer them, we will follow you, acknowledge your truthfulness, and believe in you." He responded to them in the same way that the Children of Israel responded to their Prophet when they said, "Allah is sufficient for us as a Witness." They said to him, "Tell us about the sign of the Prophet?" He said, "His eyes sleep, but his heart does not." They said, "Inform us how a woman should be addressed and how a man should be referred to?" He said, "When the waters of both meet, if the water of the woman is higher than the water of the man, she is referred to with a feminine pronoun, and if the water of the man is higher than the water of the woman, she is referred to with a masculine pronoun." They said, "You have spoken the truth." They then asked him, "What is thunder?" He said, "It is an angel from the angels, delegated with clouds, whose keys are made of fire. They drive the clouds wherever Allah wills." They said, "What is the sound that is heard?" He said, "It is the rebuking of the clouds. When it rebukes, it continues to do so until it reaches where it was ordered to go." They said, "You have spoken the truth." They then asked him, "What did Israel prohibit for himself?" He said, "He used to live in the desert and complain about the leanness of women. He did not find anything suitable for him except the meat of camels and their milk. Therefore, he prohibited them." They said, "You have spoken the truth." They then asked him, "Who comes to you from the angels? For there is no Prophet except that an angel from the angels comes to him, commissioned with the message and the revelation. Who is your companion?" He said, "It is Gabriel." They said, "That is the one who descends with war and fighting. That is our enemy from the angels. If you had said Michael, who comes down with rain and mercy, we would have followed you." So, Allah revealed, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers" [Quran 2:97] until the end of the verse, "Indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers" [Quran 2:98].
أَقْبَلَتْ يَهُودُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ «نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَإِنْ أَجَبْتَنَا فِيهَا اتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَصَدَّقْنَاكَ وَآمَنَّا بِكَ» قَالَ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَخَذَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى بَنِيهِ إِذْ قَالُوا {اللهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ} [يوسف 66] قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ عَلَامَةِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ «تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ» قَالُوا وَأَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ تُؤْنِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَكَيْفَ يُذْكِرُ الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ «يَلْتَقِي الْمَاءَانِ فَإِذَا عَلَا مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ آنَثَتْ وَإِذَا عَلَا مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَذْكَرَتْ» قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ قَالُوا فَأَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الرَّعْدِ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُوكَلٌّ بِالسَّحَابِ مَعَهُ مَخَارِيقُ مِنْ نَارٍ يَسُوقُ بِهَا السَّحَابِ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللهُ» قَالُوا فَمَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي يُسْمَعُ قَالَ «زَجْرُهُ بِالسَّحَابِ إِذَا زَجَرَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِي إِلَى حَيْثُ أُمِرَ» قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَالَ كَانَ يُسْكُنُ الْبَدْوَ فَاشْتَكَى عِرْقَ النَّسَا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا يُلَاوِمُهُ إِلَّا لُحُومَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَلْبَانَهَا فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَهَا قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا مَنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِيكَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا يَأْتِيَهُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِ بِالرِّسَالَةِ وَبِالْوُحْيِ فَمَنْ صَاحِبُكَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا بَقِيَتْ هَذِهِ حَتَّى نُتَابِعَكَ قَالَ «هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ» قَالُوا ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ بِالْحرْبِ وَبِالْقَتْلِ ذَاكَ عَدُوُّنَا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَوْ قُلْتَ مِيكَائِيلُ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ بِالْقَطْرِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ تَابَعْنَاكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِجِبْرِيلَ} [البقرة 97] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ {فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ} [البقرة 98]
