Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
AmaJuda, abantu abakhethwe nguNkulunkulu, njengoba kushiwo eQur’an, futhi ngesinye isikhathi…
“owona kakhulu kunazo zonke izizwe”
(Al-Baqarah, 2:47) Yisizwe. Kodwa iningi lamaJuda alizange libonge ngaleli zibusiso elalinikwe lona, futhi laphikelela ekuhlubukeni emiyalweni kaNkulunkulu. Abanye baze bafika ekuzameni ukubulala abaprofethi ababethunyelwe kubo. Babebulala abanye abaprofethi ababengabantu babo ngoba imiyalo yabo yayingahambisani nezifiso zabo, kanti uMprofethi wethu uMuhammad (ukuthula kube kuye) babefuna ukumbulala ngoba wayengeyena owazalwa ngabo. Isizathu salokhu sichazwa kanje kwesinye isisombululo:
“Njengoba kwakunjalo ngaphambili, nanamuhla amaJuda akholelwa ukuthi umprofethi angavela kuphela ohlwini lozalo lwabakwa-Israyeli, nokuthi akekho umuntu ofanele ukuba umprofethi ngaphandle kwaleso sizwe.”
“Izazi zamaJuda zazimazi uMprofethi wethu (ukuthula kube kuye) ngoba zazifunde izincazelo zakhe ezincwadini zazo.”
“Ngesikhathi sohambo lweNkosi yethu (saw) lwangaphambili eDamaseku, uMbhishobhi Bahira owayesezindlini zezindela wayeseshonile, wabe eseshintshwa nguMbhishobhi Nastura. Ukwehla kweNkosi yethu (saw) ngaphansi kwesihlahla somnqumo akuzange kumphunyukele umbhishobhi owayebuka umkhumbi ovela efasiteleni. Wamthatha uMeysere, owayemazi ngaphambili, wambuza ukuthi ngubani owayehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla.”
“Meysere,
“Yena ngumuntu wakwaQuraysh, umuntu waseMekka.”
kusho.
UNastura wacabanga okwesikhashana. Wabe esembulela uMeysere umqondo wakhe owamshiya emangele:
“Akekho omunye umuntu owake wehla ngaphansi kwaleso sihlahla ngaphandle komprofethi.”
Wase ebuza uMeysere ngalo mbuzo:
“Ingabe kukhona ukubomvu okuthile emehlweni akhe?”
Kusuka eMeysere
“Yebo”
Ngemva kokuthola impendulo, waqinisekisa ukuthi yini ayitholile:
“Yena, ungumprofethi. Futhi ungumprofethi wokugcina.”
(Sîre, 1/130; Ravdü’l-Ünf, 1/122)
Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe, chofoza lapha:
U-Abdullah bin Selâm, omunye wabafundisi abaphambili bamaJuda aseMedina, waba kanjani umMuslim, futhi yaba yini impendulo yamaJuda kulokhu?
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
