أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ كَيْفَ تَجِدُ نَعْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ «نَجِدُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهَ يُولَدُ بِمَكَّةَ وَيُهَاجِرُ إِلَى طَابَةَ وَيَكُونُ مُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ وَلَيْسَ بِفَحَّاشٍ وَلَا صَخَّابٍ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يُكَافِئُ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ سَرَّاءَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَجْدٍ يُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ فِي أَوْسَاطِهِمْ يُصَفُّونَ فِي صَلََاتِهِمْ كَمَا يُصَفُّونَ فِي قِتَالِهِمْ دَوِيُّهُمْ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ يُسْتَمِعُ مُنَادِيهِمْ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ»

✧ That he asked Kaʿb al-Aḥbār, “How do you find the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Torah?” Kaʿb said, “We find him as Muhammad son of ʿAbdullāh: he will be born in Makkah, migrate to Ṭābah, and his dominion will be in Syria. He is not obscene, nor loud in the markets. He does not repay evil with evil, but he pardons and forgives. His community are the praisers: they praise Allah in every ease, and they magnify Allah on every highland. They wash their limbs, tie their lower garments around their waists, and form rows in their prayer just as they form rows in battle. Their hum in their mosques is like the hum of bees. Their caller is heard in the expanse of the sky.”
