[Machine] The Jews came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Abu al-Qasim, we ask you about five things. If you inform us about them, we will recognize that you are a prophet and we will follow you." He then took an oath from them similar to the oath taken by the Children of Israel, saying, "Allah is a witness to what we say." They said, "Inform us about the sign of a prophet." He replied, "The eyes of a prophet sleep, but his heart does not sleep." They asked, "Tell us about how to distinguish the feminine and masculine form in Arabic." He said, "When two waters meet, if the water of the man overpowers the water of the woman, it will be masculine. And if the water of the woman overpowers the water of the man, it will be feminine." They asked, "Tell us the prohibition that the Children of Israel imposed upon themselves." He said, "They suffered from a particular disease and could not find any remedy except for milk, so they prohibited its consumption. Some of them suggested that it referred to camels, so they prohibited their meat." They said, "You have spoken the truth." They asked, "Tell us about thunderbolts." He said, "They are angels from the angels of Allah who are appointed to handle the clouds. They have a piece of fire with which they drive the clouds as Allah commands." They asked, "What is this sound that we hear?" He said, "It is their voice." They said, "You have spoken the truth. Only one question remains, which is the one we will use to swear loyalty to you. If you inform us about it, then know that no prophet comes except with an angel who brings him news. So tell us who your companion is." He said, "Gabriel." They said, "That is the one who descends for war, fighting, and punishment. Our enemy. Had you said it was Michael, who descends with mercy, vegetation, and rain, then Allah would have revealed (the verse), 'Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel' (2:97) until the end of the verse."  

أَقْبَلَتْ يَهُودُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ خَمْسَةِ أَشْيَاءَ فَإِنْ أَنْبَأْتَنَا بِهِنَّ عَرَفْنَا أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّوَاتَّبَعْنَاكَ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَخَذَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى بَنِيهِ إِذْ قَالُوا اللهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ قَالَ هَاتُوا قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ عَلامَةِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ تُؤَنِّثُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَكَيْفَ تُذْكِرُ؟ قَالَ يَلْتَقِي الْمَاءَانِ فَإِذَا عَلَا مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَذْكَرَتْ وَإِذَا عَلَا مَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ آنَثَتْ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يَشْتَكِي عِرْقَ النَّسَا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا يُلائِمُهُ إِلا أَلْبَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ أَبِي قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَعْنِي الْإِبِلَ فَحَرَّمَ لُحُومَهَا قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا مَا هَذَا الرَّعْدُ؟ قَالَ مَلَكٌ مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ اللهِ ﷻ مُوَكَّلٌ بِالسَّحَابِ بِيَدِهِ أَوْ فِي يَدِهِ مِخْرَاقٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يَزْجُرُ بِهِ السَّحَابَ يَسُوقُهُ حَيْثُ أَمَرَ اللهُ قَالُوا فَمَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُ؟ قَالَ صَوْتُهُ قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ إِنَّمَا بَقِيَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَهِيَ الَّتِي نُبَايِعُكَ إِنْ أَخْبَرْتَنَا بِهَا فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلا لَهُ مَلَكٌ يَأْتِيهِ بِالْخَبَرِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا مَنْ صَاحِبكَ؟ قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قَالُوا جِبْرِيلُ ذَاكَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ بِالْحَرْبِ وَالْقِتَالِ وَالْعَذَابِ عَدُوُّنَا لَوْ قُلْتَ مِيكَائِيلَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالنَّبَاتِ وَالْقَطْرِ لَكَانَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِجِبْرِيلَ} [البقرة 97] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةَ  

[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]
