The Jews know that the Prophet is True, but they hide the Truth


Allah states that the scholars of the People of the Scripture know the truth of what Allah's Messenger was sent with, just as one of them knows his own child, which is a parable that the Arabs use to describe what is very apparent. Similarly, in a Hadith, Allah's Messenger said to a man who had a youngster with him:

«ÇÈúäõßó åóÐóÇ»

¿ ÞóÇáó: äóÚóãú íóÇ ÑóÓõæáó Çááåö ÃóÔúåóÏõ Èöåö

(Is this your son) He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I testify to this fact.'' Allah's Messenger said:

«ÃóãóÇ Åöäøóåõ áóÇ íóÌúäöí Úóáóíúßó æóáóÇ ÊóÌúäöí Úóáóíúå»

(Well, you would not transgress against him nor would he transgress against you.)

According to Al-Qurtubi, it was narrated that `Umar said to `Abdullah bin Salam (an Israelite scholar who became a Muslim), "Do you recognize Muhammad as you recognize your own son'' He replied, "Yes, and even more. The Honest One descended from heaven on the Honest One on the earth with his (i.e., Muhammad's) description and I recognized him, although I do not know anything about his mother's story.''

Allah states next that although they had knowledge and certainty in the Prophet , they still:

﴿áóíóßúÊõãõæäó ÇáúÍóÞøó﴾

(conceal the truth.)

The Ayah indicates that they hide the truth from the people, about the Prophet , that they find in their Books,

﴿æóåõãú íóÚúáóãõæäó﴾

(while they know it. ) Allah then strengthens the resolve of His Prophet and the believers and affirms that what the Prophet came with is the truth without doubt, saying:

﴿ÇáúÍóÞøõ ãöä ÑøóÈøößó ÝóáÇó Êóßõæäóäøó ãöäó ÇáúãõãúÊóÑöíäó ﴾

((This is) the truth from your Lord. So be you not one of those who doubt.)

﴿æóáößõáøò æöÌúåóÉñ åõæó ãõæóáøöíåóÇ ÝóÇÓúÊóÈöÞõæÇú ÇáúÎóíúÑóÊö Ãóíúäó ãóÇ ÊóßõæäõæÇú íóÃúÊö Èößõãõ Çááøóåõ ÌóãöíÚðÇ Åöäøó Çááøóåó Úóáóì ßõáøö ÔóìúÁò ÞóÏöíÑñ ﴾

(148. For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers). So hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever you may be, Allah will bring you together (on the Day of Resurrection). Truly, Allah is able to do all things.)
