The Narration of the Amazement of the Jewish Scribe at the Recitation of Surah Yusuf

In a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, it is mentioned that a Jewish scribe visited the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) one day while he was reciting Surah Yusuf from the Quran. The scribe was amazed and asked who taught him this, to which the Prophet replied that it was taught to him by Allah.

The scribe, perplexed by what he heard, went back to his Jewish community and informed them that Muhammad recites the Quran exactly as it was revealed in the Torah. A group from the community went to the Prophet, recognized him by his description, and saw the seal of Prophethood between his shoulders. They listened to his recitation of Surah Yusuf and were astonished. They asked who taught him this, and the Prophet replied that it was Allah who taught him.

Witnessing this miraculous event, the group of Jews present accepted Islam at that moment.

بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي تَعَجُّبِ الْحَبْرِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ لِمُوَافَقَتِهَا مَا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَسْؤَالِ مَنْ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءِ النُّجُومِ الَّتِي رَآهَا سَاجِدَةً لَهُأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ الدَّهَّانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، حدثنا محمد ابن مَرْوَانَ، عَنِ الْكَلْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ حَبْرًا مِنْ أَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَكَانَ قَارِئًا لِلْتَوْرَاةِ فَوَافَقَهُ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى مُوسَى فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَبْرُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! مَنْ عَلَّمَكَهَا؟ قَالَ: اللهُ عَلَّمَنِيهَا. قَالَ: فَتَعَجَّبَ الْحَبْرُ لِمَا سَمِعَ مِنْهُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: أَتَعْلَمُونَ وَاللهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَفَرٍ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفُوهُ بِالصِّفَةِ وَنَظَرُوا إِلَى خَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ فَجَعَلُوا يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَى قِرَاءَتِهِ لِسُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْهُ وَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! مَنْ عَلَّمَكَهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عليه وَسَلَّمَ: عَلَّمَنِيهَا اللهُ وَنَزَلَ: لَقَدْ كانَ فِي يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ آياتٌ لِلسَّائِلِينَ [ (١) ] » يَقُولُ لِمَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ علمتهم، فَأَسْلَمَ الْقَوْمُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ.[ (١) ] الآية الكريمة (٧) من سورة يوسف.
