حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَيْفَ تَسْأَلُونَ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ عَنْ شَىْءٍ، وَكِتَابُكُمُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْدَثُ، تَقْرَءُونَهُ مَحْضًا لَمْ يُشَبْ، وَقَدْ حَدَّثَكُمْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ بَدَّلُوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَغَيَّرُوهُ، وَكَتَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمُ الْكِتَابَ، وَقَالُوا: هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً، أَلاَ يَنْهَاكُمْ مَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ عَنْ مَسْأَلَتِهِمْ؟ لاَ وَاللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلاً يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ.

How can you ask the People of the Book about anything, while your Book, which was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is the most recent? You recite it pure, unmixed, and it has informed you that the People of the Book altered the Book of Allah and changed it, wrote the book with their own hands, and said, "It is from Allah," so as to sell it for a small price. Does the knowledge that has come to you not forbid you from asking them? No, by Allah; we have not seen a single man among them ask you about that which was revealed to you.
