حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ قَالَ يَزِيدُ الْمُرَادِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ يَهُودِيٌّ لِصَاحِبِهِ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ { وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى تِسْعَ آيَاتٍ } فَقَالَ لَا تَقُلْ لَهُ نَبِيٌّ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ سَمِعَكَ لَصَارَتْ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَعْيُنٍ فَسَأَلَاهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَ
لَا تَسْحَرُوا وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا وَلَا تَمْشُوا بِبَرِيءٍ إِلَى ذِي سُلْطَانٍ لِيَقْتُلَهُ وَلَا تَقْذِفُوا مُحْصَنَةً أَوْ قَالَ تَفِرُّوا مِنْ الزَّحْفِ شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ وَأَنْتُمْ يَا يَهُودُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَاصَّةً أَنْ لَا تَعْتَدُوا قَالَ يَزِيدُ تَعْدُوا فِي السَّبْتِ فَقَبَّلَا يَدَهُ وَرِجْلَهُ قَالَ يَزِيدُ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمَا أَنْ تَتَّبِعَانِي قَالَا إِنَّ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام دَعَا أَنْ لَا يَزَالَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّا نَخْشَى قَالَ يَزِيدُ إِنْ أَسْلَمْنَا أَنْ تَقْتُلَنَا يَهُودُ

English Translation
Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us — and Yazīd narrated it to us, Shuʿbah informed us — from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, who said: I heard ʿAbdullāh ibn Salamah narrating from Ṣafwān ibn ʿAssāl — Yazīd said: al-Murādī — who said: A Jew said to his companion: 'Let us go to this Prophet ﷺ' — and Yazīd said: 'to this Prophet ﷺ — so that we may ask him about this verse: {And We certainly gave Mūsā nine clear signs}.' He said: 'Do not call him a Prophet, for if he hears you, he would have four eyes [with delight].' So they asked him, and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not associate anything with Allāh, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill the soul which Allāh has forbidden except by right, do not practice sorcery, do not consume usury, do not bring an innocent person before an authority to be killed, and do not slander a chaste woman' — or he said: 'do not flee from battle' — Shuʿbah was unsure — 'and upon you especially, O Jews, do not transgress' — Yazīd said: 'violate — the Sabbath.' They kissed his hand and foot — Yazīd said: his hands and feet — and said: 'We bear witness that you are a Prophet.' He said: 'Then what prevents you from following me?' They said: 'Dāwūd عليه السلام supplicated that there would always be a prophet from his descendants, and we fear' — Yazīd said: 'if we accept Islam, the Jews will kill us.'
