Volume 1, Parts II.75.4 Ma'n Ibn Isa informed us; Hisham Ibn Sa'd informed us on the authority of Zayd Ibn Aslam; he said: It has reached us that 'Abd Allah Ibn Salam used to say: Verily the qualities of the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, in al-Tawrah are: "0 Prophet ! Lo ! We have sent thee as a witness and bringer of good tidings and a warner." [al-Qur'an 33:45] (He continued): (We sent thee) as protector of the unletered. Thou art My servant and apostle. I have named theetrusting (muta-wakkil), who is neither harsh nor coarse, and
who does not make noise in the markets nor returns evil for evil but who
forgives and pardons; and I shall not cause whose death unless I make
the crude creed straight and the people recite: There is no god but Allah,
He (Allah) will make blind eyes see, deaf ears hear and hard hearts soft.
This news reached Kab; he said: 'Abd Allah Ibn Salam spoke the truth, but the words used in their language (i. e. of the Jews) Volume 1, Parts II.75.5 Yazid Ibn Harun informed us: Jarir Ibn Hazim informed us: One who heard al-Zuhri related to me: A Jew said: No quality or the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, in alTawrah remained unobserved by me except forbearance. I loaned him thirty dinars repayable at a fixed time. I left it (kept quiet) till one day remained in the payment. I approached him and said: O Muhammad! clear my dues. 0 members of Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib, deferring payments has been common among you. ThereuponUmar said: 0 the wretched
Jew! had it not been his (Prophet’s) place I would have struck that in
which your two eyes are set. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him,
said; O Abu Hafs! may Allah pardon you, we needed better counsel than
this; you should have asked me to pay what is due from me. He deserved
assistance in realizing his dues. He (Jew) said: My ignorance did not but
enhance his forbearance. He said: 0 Jew, the payment of your debt will
be due tomorrow. Then he said: O Abu Hafs! take him to such and such a
garden, for which he had asked before. If he likes, give him (dates
weighing) so many sa’s and add so much more (to compensate) for what
you said. If he does not like, then give him from such and such a garden.
(‘Umar said): He accompanied me to the garden and he agreed to take
the dates. So he (‘Umar) gave him as the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, had directed and added as much as he had asked him. He
(‘Umar) said: When the Jew took the dates into his possession; he said: I
bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that he (Muhammad) is
the Apostle of Allah. Continuing he said: 0 ‘Umar! what you saw me
doing was because I had found all qualities in him as mentioned in alTawrah, except forbearance. I have tested his forbearance today and I
found it as it has been mention in al-Tawrah. I make you witness that
these dates and half of my wealth will be for the poor (fuqard) among the
Muslims. Umar said: I said: Say: For some of them. He repeated: For some of them. He said: The members of the Jew's family embraced Islam excepting an old man who was one hundred years old and who stuck to his infidelity.

Prophet, may Allah bless him, in al-Tawrah. He said:
Yes by Allah, he is described in al-Tawrah as he has been described in alQur’an: “0 Prophet ! Lo ! we have sent thee as a witness and bringer of
good tidings and a warner”. [al-Qur’an 33:45] The same in al-Tawrah is
“0 Prophet ! Lo ! we have sent you as a witness and bringer of good
tidings and a warner as a protector for the unlettered. Thou art my
servant and my apostle. I named you the one having confidence
(almutawakkil) and one who does not make noise in the markets and one
who does not return evil for evil but forgives and pardons. I shall not
cause him die until the crooked nation is straightened and they recite:
There is no god but Allah. With him the blind eyes, the deaf ears and
encased hearts will receive revelations to recite: There is no god except
Allah.
Ma’n said relating to the narration of Fulayh: Then I met Ka’b and
asked him about it. He did not disagree with it to a letter except that Ka’b
said.

except Allah.

mawla of ‘Utaybah:
Verily he was a Christian of Mirris and an orphan under the
guardianship of his mother and his uncle. He used to recite from al-Injil.
He said: I seized a copy of my uncle’s which I read. I happened to come
to a leaf, writing on which was uncommon when I passed by it and
touched it with my hand. He said (continuing) I discovered that some
leaves seemed to be pasted with an adhesive. He said: I tore them and
discovered the qualities of Muhammad, may Allah bless him. That he will
not be of short stature nor of tall one. He will be of white complexion with
two locks (of hair). Between his two shoulders there is a seal. He will
often sit with his legs folded. He will not accept sadaqah (for himself). He
will ride the ass and the camel. He will milk she goat and will put on
patched shirt, and he who does that is free from pride and he will do that.
He will be a descendant of lsma’il; his name will be Ahmad. Sahl said;
when I had reached this account of Muhammad, may Allah bless him, my
uncle stepped in and when noticed the leaf he beat me and said: What
have you to do with the opening of this leaf and reading it? I said: In it
are the qualities of the Prophet, Ahmad, may Allah bless him. Thereupon
he said: He has not yet come
