The Arrogance of the Jews who denied and killed Their Prophets

Allah described the insolence of Children of Israel, their rebelliousness, defiance and arrogance towards the Prophets, following their lusts and desires. Allah mentioned that He gave Musa the Book, the Tawrah, and that the Jews changed, distorted, and defied its commands, as well as altered its meanings.

Allah sent Messengers and Prophets after Musa who followed his law, as Allah stated,

ุฅูู†ู‘ูŽุข ุฃูŽู†ุฒูŽู„ู’ู†ูŽุง ุงู„ุชู‘ูŽูˆู’ุฑูŽุงุฉูŽ ูููŠู‡ูŽุง ู‡ูุฏู‹ู‰ ูˆูŽู†ููˆุฑูŒ

(Verily, We did reveal the Tawrah (to Musa), therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s will, judged for the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests (too judged for the Jews by the Tawrah after those Prophets), for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto) (5:44). This is why Allah said here,

ูˆูŽู‚ูŽูู‘ูŽูŠู’ู†ูŽุง ู…ูู† ุจูŽุนู’ุฏูู‡ู ุจูุงู„ุฑู‘ูุณูู„ู

(And Qaffayna him with Messengers).

As-Suddi said that Abu Malik said that Qaffayna means, “Succeeded”, while others said, “Followed”. Both meanings are plausible, since Allah said,

ุซูู…ู‘ูŽ ุฃูŽุฑู’ุณูŽู„ู’ู†ูŽุง ุฑูุณูู„ูŽู†ูŽุง ุชูŽุชู’ุฑูŽู‰

(Then We sent Our Messengers in succession) (23:44).

Thereafter, Allah sent the last Prophet among the Children of Israel, `Isa the son of Mary, who was sent with some laws that differed with some in the Tawrah. This is why Allah also sent miracles to support `Isa. These included bringing the dead back to life, forming the shape of birds from clay and blowing into them, afterwhich they became living birds by Allah’s leave, healing the sick and foretelling the Unseen, as Ibn `Abbas stated. Allah also aided him with Ruh Al-Qudus, and that refers to Jibril. All of these signs testified to the truthfulness of `Isa and what he was sent with. Yet, the Children of Israel became more defiant and envious of him and did not want to differ with even one part of the Tawrah, as Allah said about `Isa,

ูˆูŽู„ุงู‘ูŒุญูู„ู‘ูŽ ู„ูŽูƒูู… ุจูŽุนู’ุถูŽ ุงู„ู‘ูŽุฐููŠ ุญูุฑู‘ูู…ูŽ ุนูŽู„ูŽูŠู’ูƒูู…ู’ ูˆูŽุฌูุฆู’ุชููƒูู…ู’ ุจูุฃูŽูŠูŽุฉู ู…ู‘ูู† ุฑู‘ูŽุจู‘ููƒูู…ู’

(And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord) (3:50).

Hence, the Children of Israel treated the Prophets in the worst manner, rejecting some of them and killing some of them. All of this occurred because the Prophets used to command the Jews with what differed from their desires and opinions. The Prophets also upheld the rulings of the Tawrah that the Jews had changed, and this is why it was difficult for them to believe in these Prophets. Therefore, they rejected the Prophets and killed some of them. Allah said,

ุฃูŽููŽูƒูู„ู‘ูŽู…ูŽุง ุฌูŽุขุกูŽูƒูู…ู’ ุฑูŽุณููˆู„ูŒ ุจูู…ูŽุง ู„ุงูŽ ุชูŽู‡ู’ูˆูŽู‰ ุฃูŽู†ููุณููƒูู… ุงุณู’ุชูŽูƒู’ุจูŽุฑู’ุชูู…ู’ ููŽููŽุฑููŠู‚ู‹ุง ูƒูŽุฐู‘ูŽุจู’ุชูู…ู’ ูˆูŽููŽุฑููŠู‚ู‹ุง ุชูŽู‚ู’ุชูู„ููˆู†ูŽ

(Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not,you grew arrogant Some you disbelieved and some you kill).

Jibril is Ruh Al-Qudus

The proof that Jibril is the Ruh Al-Qudus is the statement of Ibn Mas`ud in explanation of this Ayah. This is also the view of Ibn `Abbas, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Isma`il bin Khalid, As-Suddi, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, `Atiyah Al-`Awfi and Qatadah. Additionally, Allah said,

ู†ูŽุฒูŽู„ูŽ ุจูู‡ู ุงู„ุฑู‘ููˆุญู ุงู„ุงู‘ูŒู…ููŠู†ู – ุนูŽู„ูŽู‰ ู‚ูŽู„ู’ุจููƒูŽ ู„ูุชูŽูƒููˆู†ูŽ ู…ูู†ูŽ ุงู„ู’ู…ูู†ู’ุฐูุฑููŠู†ูŽ

(Which the trustworthy Ruh (Jibril) has brought down. Upon your heart (O Muhammad ) that you may be (one) of the warners) (26:193-194).

Al-Bukhari recorded `A’ishah saying that the Messenger of Allah erected a Minbar in the Masjid on which Hassan bin Thabit (the renowned poet) used to defend the Messenger of Allah (with his poems). The Messenger of Allah said,

ยซุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽู‡ูู…ู‘ูŽ ุฃูŽูŠู‘ูุฏู’ ุญูŽุณู‘ูŽุงู†ูŽ ุจูุฑููˆุญู ุงู„ู’ู‚ูุฏูุณู ูƒูŽู…ูŽุง ู†ูŽุงููŽุญูŽ ุนูŽู†ู’ ู†ูŽุจููŠู‘ููƒยป

(O Allah! Aid Hassan with Ruh Al-Qudus, for he defended Your Prophet.)

Abu Dawud recorded this Hadith in his Sunan as did At-Tirmidhi who graded it Hasan Sahih. Further, Ibn Hibban recorded in his Sahih that Ibn Mas`ud said that the Prophet said,

ยซุฅูู†ู‘ูŽ ุฑููˆุญูŽ ุงู„ู’ู‚ูุฏูุณู ู†ูŽููŽุซูŽ ูููŠ ุฑููˆุนููŠ ุฃูŽู†ู‘ูŽู‡ู ู„ูŽู†ู’ ุชูŽู…ููˆุชูŽ ู†ูŽูู’ุณูŒ ุญูŽุชู‘ูŽู‰ ุชูŽุณู’ุชูŽูƒู’ู…ูู„ูŽ ุฑูุฒู’ู‚ูŽู‡ูŽุง ูˆูŽุฃูŽุฌูŽู„ูŽู‡ูŽุงุŒ ููŽุงุชู‘ูŽู‚ููˆุง ุงู„ู„ู‡ูŽ ูˆูŽุฃูŽุฌู’ู…ูู„ููˆุง ูููŠ ุงู„ุทู‘ูŽู„ูŽุจยป

(Ruh Al-Qudus informed me that no soul shall die until it finishes its set provisions and term limit. Therefore, have Taqwa of Allah and seek your sustenance in the most suitable way.)

The Jews tried to kill the Prophet

Az-Zamakhshari commented on Allah’s statement,

ููŽููŽุฑููŠู‚ู‹ุง ูƒูŽุฐู‘ูŽุจู’ุชูู…ู’ ูˆูŽููŽุฑููŠู‚ู‹ุง ุชูŽู‚ู’ุชูู„ููˆู†ูŽ

(Some you disbelieved and some you kill), “Allah did not say `killed’ here, because the Jews would still try to kill the Prophet in the future, using poison and magic.” During the illness that preceded his death, the Prophet said,

ยซู…ูŽุง ุฒูŽุงู„ูŽุชู’ ุฃูŽูƒู’ู„ูŽุฉู ุฎูŽูŠู’ุจูŽุฑูŽ ุชูุนูŽุงูˆูุฏูู†ููŠุŒ ููŽู‡ุฐูŽุง ุฃูŽูˆูŽุงู†ู ุงู†ู’ู‚ูุทูŽุงุนู ุฃูŽุจู’ู‡ูŽุฑููŠยป

(I kept feeling the effect of what I ate (from the poisoned sheep) during the day of Khaybar, until now, when it is the time that the aorta will be cut off (meaning when death is near).)
