Rida(a.s.) said, “And likewise the affair of Muhammad (s) and what he brought, and the affair of every prophet commissioned by Allah. Among the signs Muhammad (s) had was that he was an orphan, poor, a shepherd and a wage laborer who did not study any book and who was not taught by any teacher, yet brought the Qur’an in which there are the stories of the prophets and reports of them letter by letter, and reports of those who have gone before, and the peoples who will remain until the day of resurrection. He reported about their secrets and what they had done in their houses, and he brought unaccountably many signs.” The Exilarch said, “According to us, neither the reports about Jesus nor the reports about Muhammad are correct, and it is not permitted for us to affirm these two by what is incorrect.” Rida(a.s.) said, “So, the witnesses who testified for Jesus and Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be with them both, are not valid?” He gave no answer.

قَالَ الرِّضَا (ع): ’وَكَذَلِكَ أمُرُ مُحَمَّدٍ (ص) وَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ، وَأمْرُ كُلِّ نَبِىٍّ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ. وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أنَّهُ كَانَ يَتِيمًا، فَقِيرًا، رَاعِيًا، أجِيرًا، لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ كِتَابًا وَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ إلَي مُعَلِّمٍ؛ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِالْقُرْءَانِ الَّذِى فِيهِ قِصَصُ اْلاَنْبِيَاءِ وَأخْبَارُهُمْ، حَرْفًا حَرْفًا؛ وَأخْبَارُ مَنْ مَضَي وَمَنْ بَقِىَ إلَي يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. ثُمَّ كَانَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِأسْرَارِهِمْ وَمَا يَعْمَلُونَ فِى بُيُوتِهِمْ وَجَاءَ بِآيَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لاَ تُحْصَي.‘‘ قَالَ: ’قَالَ رَاْسُ الْجَالُوتِ: ’لَمْ يَصِحَّ عِنْدَنَا خَبَرُ عِيسَي وَلاَ خَبَرُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَلاَ يَجُوزُ لَنَا أنْ نُقِرَّ لَهُمَا بِمَا لَمْ يَصِحَّ.‘‘ قَالَ الرِّضَا (ع): ’فَالشَّاهِدُ الَّذِى شَهِدَ لِعِيسَي وَلِمُحَمَّدٍ, صَلَّي اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا، شَاهِدُ زُورٍ.‘ فَلَمْ يَحِرْ جَوابًا.‘‘» (بحار الانوار، 10، 299-310، 1) |
