Once, a Jew asked questions on Tauheed after the Prophet, but Muslims could not answer him, so they brought him to Imam Ali, who answered him.

By the chain, raising it to Anas Bin Malik who said,
โA Jew entered (Medina) during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and said, โI want the Caliph of Rasool-Allah-sawwโ. So, they came with him to Abu Bakr, and the Jew said to him, โAre you the Caliph of Rasool-Allah-saww?โ He said, โYes, do you not see me being in his-saww place and his-saww Prayer Niche?โ He said to him, โIf you were just as you are saying, O Abu Bakr, I want to ask you about certain thingsโ. He said, โAsk about whatever comes to you, and what do you want?โ

The Jew said, โInform me about what isnโt for Allah-azwj, and about what isnโt with Allah-azwj, and about what Allah-azwj does not knowโ. At that, Abu Bakr said, โThese are questions of the atheists, O Jew!โ At that, the Muslims thought of killing him, and among the ones present was Ibn Abbas, and he shouted at the people and said, โO Abu Bakr! Respite regarding his killingโ. He said to him, โDid you not hear what he has spoken with?โ Ibn Abbas said, โIf his answers were with you (then fine), or else throw him out wherever you so desire from the earthโ.

He (the narrator) said, โHe went out and he was saying, โO you people! Islam has gone to the extent that they are not answering me. Where is Rasool-Allah-saww?

He (the narrator) said, โDuring that, Abu Bakr and the Muslims came seeking the Jew and they met him in one of the streets, so they seized him and came with him to Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.

He (the narrator) said, โAbu Bakr said, โO Abu Al-Hassan-asws! This Jew asked me certain question from the questions of the atheistsโ. The Imam-asws said: โWhat are you saying, O Jew?โ The Jew said, โI ask and you-asws will deal with me like what they have done with meโ. He-asws said: โAnd which thing did they intend to be doing with you?โ He said, โThey wanted to take away my bloodโ. The Imam-asws said: โLeave this one and let him ask about whatever he likes toโ.

The Jew said, โAnswer me about what isnโt for Allah-azwj, and about what isnโt with Allah-azwj, and about what Allah-azwj does not knowโ. Ali-asws said to him: โUpon a condition, O Jewish brotherโ. He said, โAnd what is the condition?โ He-asws said: โYou will be saying along with me-asws, a just, sincere word, โThere is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwjโโ.
