7361. Narrated Ḥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān that he heard Mu'āwiya talking to a group of people from Quraish at Al-Maḍīna, and on mentioning Ka'b Al-Aḥbār, he said, "He was one of the most truthful of those who used to talk about the people of the Scripture, yet we used to detect certain faults in his information." رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) used to read the Taurāt (Torah) in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to the Muslims), "Do not believe the people of the Scripture, nor disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allāh and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.'"
