حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَمْلَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ مُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَلْ تَتَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقُولُوا:‏‏‏‏ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُ .

When he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and a Jew was also with him, a funeral passed by him. He (the Jew) asked (Him): Muhammad, does this funeral speak? The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Allah has more knowledge. The Jew said: It speaks. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Whatever the people of the Book tell you, do not verify them, nor falsify them, but say: We believe in Allah and His Messenger. If it is false, do not confirm it, and if it is right, do not falsify it.
