7542. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The people of the Scripture used to read the Taurāt (Torah) in Hebrew and explain it to the Muslims in Arabic. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not believe the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), and do not disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allāh and in what has been sent down to us...'" (V.3:84)

7542 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ المُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَهْلُ الكِتَابِ يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ بِالعِبْرَانِيَّةِ، وَيُفَسِّرُونَهَا بِالعَرَبِيَّةِ لِأَهْلِ الإِسْلاَمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لاَ تُصَدِّقُوا أَهْلَ الكِتَابِ وَلا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا: {آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ} [البقرة: 136] " الآيَةَ
