Abdullah ibni Selâm

Now, the proofs of sincerity and evidences of prophethood of that noble person are not confined only to miracles. Perhaps, for those who pay attention, all of his actions and deeds, his conditions and sayings, his character and traits, his biography and appearance, prove his sincerity and seriousness. Indeed, many learned people from the famous scholars of the Children of Israel, such as Abdullah ibn Salam, have believed in him merely by seeing his face, saying, "There is no falsehood in this face; there is no deception in this face." Many learned scholars have said that the proofs of prophethood and miracles are in the thousands; but in reality, there are perhaps hundreds of thousands of proofs of prophethood. And through hundreds of thousands of ways, hundreds of thousands of people with different ideas have affirmed the prophethood of that noble person. In the Holy Qur'an alone, apart from forty types of proofs, there are a thousand proofs of the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Moreover, since there have been many prophets in the world, and hundreds of thousands of people have claimed prophethood and shown miracles. Obviously, the prophethood of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is established with a certainty beyond all others. Because the signs, attributes, and conditions that are used to confirm the prophethood of the general prophets, such as Jesus (peace be upon him) and Moses (peace be upon him), and the treatment of their communities are present in the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in a more perfect and comprehensive manner. Since the causes and reasons for the ruling of prophethood are present in the person of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in a more perfect form, certainly the ruling of prophethood is established with a certainty greater than all other prophets.

Also, the Egyptian ruler Mukavkıs, the famous scholar of the Jews named Ibn Suria and Ibn Ahtab, and his brother Kab ibn Asad, and Zubayr ibn Batiya, and other renowned scholars and leaders, although they were not Muslims, admitted, "Yes, his description is in our books; they mention him." Also, among the famous scholars of the Jews and the notable clergymen of the Christians, there were those who abandoned their stubbornness and embraced faith after seeing the description of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the ancient scriptures. They showed his description in the Torah and the Gospel and held the other Jewish and Christian scholars accountable for it. Among them were the famous Abdullah ibn Salam, Wahb ibn Munabbih, Abu Yasar, and Shamil, who lived in the time of the Yemeni king Tubba. Just as Tubba had accepted faith before the revelation, so did Shamil. Also, there were Esed and Sa'leb, the two sons of Sayy, who had been visited by Ibn Hayban, a man of knowledge of God, before the revelation, who had stayed as a guest with the Banu Nadir tribe. He had said, "A prophet is about to appear; this is the place of his migration," and died there. Later, when that tribe went to war with the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Esed and Sa'leb came out to the battlefield and shouted to their tribe: "By God, he is the one about whom Ibn Hayban made a covenant with you." That is, "This is the one who was foretold by Ibn Hayban; do not fight with him." But they did not listen to them and found their doom. Also, many Jewish scholars, such as Ibn Benjamin, Muhayrik, and Ka'b al-Ahbar, from the scholars of the Jews, came to faith after seeing the Prophetic description in their books and held the others who had not accepted faith accountable.
