Hadith 1

ws attributes, and the disavowing from the ones who oppose them-asws. And Rasool-Allah-saww came out from what had been obligated upon him-saww, and did not pass away from the world until he-saww had explained to the community the state of the guardians-asws from Masters-asws of the Command, and texted upon them-asws, and took the allegiance upon the community with the listening to them and the obedience. And he-saww also stated to them names of the one He-azwj had Prohibited them to befriend. How few were the ones who obeyed regarding that, and how many were the ones who disobeyed regarding it and inclined towards the world and its décor. So, the woe be for them! And as for what Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed in His-azwj Book, from what its interpretation is a narration in the same way as its revelation, and explanation of its meaning. From that is story of people of the cave, and that, Quraysh had send three persons, Nazr Bin Haris Bin Kaladah, and Uqba Bin Abu Mueet, and Aas Bin Waail to Rass and to Najran in order to learn from the Jews and the Christians questions they could throw at Rasool-Allah-saww. The scholars of the Jews and the Christians said to them, ‘Ask him-saww about issues. If he-saww answers you about these, he-saww is the awaited Prophet-saww who the Torah has informed with. Then ask him-asws about another issue. If he-saww claims to have its knowledge, he-saww is a liar, because no one knows its knowledge apart from Allah-azwj’. They said, ‘And what are these three issues? ’
They said, ‘Ask him-saww about youths who had existed in the former times. They disappeared, then they slept. How much was the measurement of their sleep until it ended, and how much was their number, and for what did they wake up? What is that which they did and their people did? And how much is for them whereby they woke up to this day of ours? And what was their story? And ask him-saww about Musa-as Bin Imran-as. How was his-as state with the scholar when he-as followed him, and separated from him? And ask him-saww about a roamer who circled the east and the west, from emergence of the sun to its west. Who was it, and how was his state? ’
Then they wrote for them the commentary of the state of the three questions based upon what (information) was with them in the Torah. They said to them, ‘So what is the other question? ’
He said, ‘Ask him-asws about establishment of the Hour! ’
The three persons proceeded to Quraysh with the question and they asserted that there is no knowledge with him-saww of these. Quraysh walked to Rasool-Allah-saww, and he-saww was by the (Black) Stone, and with him-saww was his-saww uncle-as Abu Talib-as. They said, ‘O Abu Talib-as! Muhammad-saww, son-saww of your-as brother-as, opposes his-as own people, and stultifies their dreams, and faults their gods, and reviles these, and corrupts the youths from their men, and separates their communities, and claims that news of the sky comes to him-as, and we have come with questions. If he-saww informs us about these, we will know that he-saww is truthful, and if he-saww does not inform us of these, he-saww is a liar! ’
Abu Talib-as said to them: ‘Up to you. Ask him-saww about whatever comes to you. You will find him-saww full (of knowledge)’. They
