The description of the Messenger of God ﷺ from the Gospel
صِفَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ الْإِنْجِيلِ [ تَبْشِيرٌ يَحْنُسَ الْحَوَارِيِّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ، فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي عَمَّا كَانَ وَضَعَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيمَا جَاءَهُ مِنْ اللَّهِ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ لِأَهْلِ الْإِنْجِيلِ مِنْ صِفَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، مِمَّا أَثَبَتَ يُحَنَّسُ الْحَوَارِيُّ لَهُمْ، حِينَ نَسَخَ لَهُمْ الْإِنْجِيلَ عَنْ عَهْدِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَيْهِمْ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَبْغَضَنِي فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَ الرَّبَّ، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي صَنَعْتُ بِحَضْرَتِهِمْ صَنَائِعَ لَمْ يَصْنَعْهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي، مَا كَانَتْ لَهُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ الْآنَ بَطِرُوا وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ يَعِزُّونَنِي، وَأَيْضًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَتِمَّ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي فِي النَّامُوسِ: أَنَّهُمْ أَبْغَضُونِي مَجَّانًا، أَيْ بَاطِلًا. فَلَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ الْمُنْحَمَنَّا هَذَا الَّذِي يُرْسِلُهُ اللَّهُ إلَيْكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، ( وَ ) رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ، هَذَا الَّذِي مِنْ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ خَرَجَ، فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ عَلَيَّ وَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدِيمًا كُنْتُمْ مَعِي فِي هَذَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: لِكَيْمَا لَا تَشْكُوَا. وَالْمُنْحَمَنَّا ( بِالسُّرْيَانِيَّةِ ): مُحَمَّدٌ: وَهُوَ بِالرُّومِيَّةِ: الْبَرْقَلِيطِسُ، ﷺ.
Translation
✧ The description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Gospel [The glad tiding of Yūḥannas the disciple regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ] Ibn Isḥāq said: It has reached me, concerning what ʿĪsā b. Maryam had set down, in what came to him from God in the Gospel for the people of the Gospel, of the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among what Yūḥannas the disciple recorded for them when he copied out the Gospel for them from the covenant of ʿĪsā b. Maryam ﷺ regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to them, that he said: 'Whoever hates me has hated the Lord. Had I not performed in their presence deeds which no one before me had performed, they would have no sin; but from now on they have become insolent and think that they are strengthening me, and likewise the Lord. Yet the word that is in the Law must be fulfilled: "They hated me without cause"—that is, in vain. And when the Munḥamannā comes, this one whom God will send to you from the Lord's presence, (and) the Holy Spirit, this one who has come forth from the Lord's presence, he will be a witness for me, and you also, because you have long been with me. In this I have spoken to you, so that you may not doubt.' The Munḥamannā (in Syriac): Muḥammad; and in Greek: al-Barqalīṭis, ﷺ.
