Israel is Prophet Ya`qub (Jacob)
Israel is Prophet Ya`qub, for Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded that `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas said, "A group of Jews came to the Prophet and he said to them,
«åóáú ÊóÚúáóãõæäó Ãóäøó ÅöÓúÑóÇÆöíáó íóÚúÞõæÈõ¿»
(Do you know that Israel is Jacob) They said, "Yes, by Allah.'' He said,
«Çááøóåõãøó ÇÔúåóÏ»
(O Allah! Be witness.)''
At-Tabari recorded that `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas said that `Israel' means, `the servant of Allah.'
