Sirat Ibn Hisham 634

What was revealed concerning b. Ṣūriyā's asking the Prophet (peace be upon him) to become Jewish

[ مَا نَزَلَ فِي سُؤَالِ ابْنِ صُورِيَّا لِلنَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ بِأَنْ يَتَهَوَّدَ ] وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صُورِيَّا الْأَعْوَرُ الْفَطْيُونِيُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: مَا الْهُدَى إلَّا مَا نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ، فَاتَّبِعْنَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ تَهْتَدِ، وَقَالَتْ النَّصَارَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صُورِيَّا وَمَا قَالَتْ النَّصَارَى: وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَى تَهْتَدُوا قُلْ بَلْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ الْقِصَّةَ إلَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُمْ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَلَا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

✧ [What was revealed concerning Ibn Sūriyā's request to the Prophet, ﷺ, that he become a Jew] And ʿAbd Allāh b. Sūriyā al-Aʿwar al-Faṭyūnī said to the Messenger of God ﷺ: Guidance is nothing but what we are upon, so follow us, O Muḥammad, and you will be guided. And the Christians said the like of that. So God, exalted is He, revealed concerning that, from the statement of ʿAbd Allāh b. Sūriyā and what the Christians said: "And they say, 'Be Jews or Christians and you will be guided.' Say, 'Rather, the creed of Abraham, a ḥanīf, and he was not of the polytheists.'" Then the narrative up to the saying of God, exalted is He: "That is a community that has passed away; it has what it earned, and you have what you earned, and you will not be asked about what they used to do."
