Prophet Jesus/Isa
إِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْهُ اسْمُهُ الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَجِيهًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ {45}
When the Angel said: ‘O Maryam! Allah Gives you glad tidings with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the Messiah, Isa son of Maryam, worthy of regard in the world and the Hereafter and from those of Proximity [3:45]
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ {59}
‘Surely the example of Isa with Allah is like the example of Adam; He Created him from dust, then said to him, “Be”, so he became.’ [3:59]
علي بن إبراهيم، قال: حدثني أبي، عن النضر بن سويد، عن ابن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): «أن نصارى نجران لما وفدوا على رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) و كان سيدهم الأهتم و العاقب و السيد، و حضرت صلاتهم فأقبلوا يضربون بالناقوس، و صلوا، فقال أصحاب رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): يا رسول الله، هذا في مسجدك؟ فقال: دعوهم
Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘My father narrated to me, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Ibn Sinan,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Christians of Najran sent a delegation to Rasool-Allah-saww, and their chiefs were Al-Ahtam, and Al-Aaqab, and Al-Sayad. They performed their Prayers by ringing the bells, and they Prayed. So the companions of Rasool-Allah-saww said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This (is being done) in your-saww Masjid?’ So he-saww said: ‘Leave them’.
فلما فرغوا دنوا من رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله)، فقالوا له: إلى ما تدعونا؟ فقال: إلى شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، و أني رسول الله، و أن عيسى عبد مخلوق، يأكل و يشرب و يحدث
When they were free, they approached Rasool-Allah-saww and said to him-saww, ‘To what are you-saww inviting us?’ So he-saww said: ‘To the testimony that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that I-saww am a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and that Isa-as was a Created servant who used to eat and drink and defecate’.
قالوا: فمن أبوه؟ فنزل الوحي على رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله)، فقال: قل لهم: ما تقولون في آدم أ كان عبدا مخلوقا يأكل و يشرب و يحدث و ينكح؟ فسألهم النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله)، فقالوا: نعم. فقال: فمن أبوه؟
They said, ‘So who was his-as father?’ The Revelation came down unto Rasool-Allah-saww: “Say to them: ‘What are you all saying regarding Adam-as, who was a Created servant, eating and drinking and defecating, and marrying? The Prophet-saww asked them. They said, ‘Yes (he was)’. He-saww said: ‘So, who was his-as father?’
فبهتوا و بقوا ساكتين، فأنزل الله: إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرابٍ ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ إلى قوله: فَنَجْعَلْ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكاذِبِينَ
They were astonished and remained silent. Thus, Allah-azwj Revealed Surely the example of Isa with Allah is like the example of Adam; He Created him from dust, then said to him, “Be”, so he became [3:59] – up to His-azwj Words and make the Curse of Allah to be upon the liars [3:61].
فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): فباهلوني، فإن كنت صادقا أنزلت اللعنة عليكم، و إن كنت كاذبا نزلت علي. فقالوا: أنصفت. فتواعدوا للمباهلة
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Therefore imprecate with me-saww, so if I-saww was truthful the Curse would descend upon you all, and if I-saww were a liar, then it would descend upon me-saww’. They said, ‘You are being fair’. Thus, they agreed (an appointment) for the imprecation.
فلما رجعوا إلى منازلهم، قال رؤساؤهم السيد و العاقب و الأهتم: إن باهلنا بقومه باهلناه، فإنه ليس بنبي، و إن باهلنا بأهل بيته خاصة فلا نباهله فإنه لا يقدم على أهل بيته إلا و هو صادق،
When they returned to their houses, their chiefs Al-Sayad, and Al-Aaqab and Al-Ahtam said, ‘If he-saww imprecates with his-saww people, imprecate with him-saww, for he-saww is not a Prophet-saww. But if he-saww were to imprecate with the People-asws of his-saww Household, then do not imprecate with him-saww, for he-saww would not come forward with his-saww family except if he-saww is truthful’.
فلما أصبحوا جاءوا إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) و معه أمير المؤمنين و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين (صلوات الله عليهم)، فقال النصارى: من هؤلاء؟ فقيل لهم: هذا ابن عمه و وصيه و ختنه علي بن أبي طالب، و هذه ابنته فاطمة، و هذان ابناه الحسن و الحسين
‘When it was the morning, they came to Rasool-Allah-saww, and with him-saww were Amir-Al-Momineen-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws. So the Christians said, ‘Who are they-asws?’ It was said to them, ‘This is his-saww cousin-asws, and his-saww successor-asws, and his-saww brother-in-law-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and this is his-saww daughter-asws Fatima-asws, and these two are his-saww grandsons-asws Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws’.
ففرقوا، فقالوا لرسول الله: نعطيك الرضا فاعفنا من المباهلة. فصالحهم رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) على الجزية و انصرفوا
They dispersed and said to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘We shall give you-saww the satisfaction (taxes), therefore excuse us from the imprecation’. Therefore, Rasool-Allah-saww reconciled with them upon the taxation (to be paid), and they left’.[1]
