5832 - وعن علي، ان يهوديا كان يقال له فلان حبر كان له على رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - دنانير فتقاضى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال يا يهودي ما عندي ما اعطيك قال: فإني لا افارقك يا محمد حتى تعطيني، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إذا اجلس معك، فجلس معه فصلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء الآخرة والغداة وكان اصحاب رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يتهددونه ويتوعدونه ففطن رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ما الذي يصنعون به، فقالوا: يا رسول الله يهودي يحبسك؟ فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - منعني ربي ان اظلم معاهدا وغيره فلما ترجل النهار قال اليهودي: اشهد ان لا إله إلا الله واشهد انك رسول الله، وشطر مالي في سبيل الله، واما والله ما فعلت بك الذي فعلت لك إلا لانظر إلى نعتك في التوراة: محمد بن عبد الله مولده بمكة ومهاجره بطيبة وملكه بالشام  ليس بفظ ولا غليظ ولا سخاب في الاسواق ولا متزي بالفحش ولا قول الخنا اشهد ان لا إله إلا الله وانك رسول الله وهذا مالي فاحكم فيه بما اراك الله وكان اليهودي كثير المال. رواه البيهقي في دلائل النبوة.
`Ali told that God's messenger owed some dinars to so and so, a Jewish doctor, who demanded payment from the Prophet. When he said to him, "I have nothing to give you, Jew," he replied, "I will not leave you, Muhammad, till you pay me." God's messenger said, "I shall sit with you, then," and did so. God's messenger prayed the noon, afternoon, sunset, final evening and morning prayers, and his companions were threatening and menacing the man, God's messenger being aware of what they were doing. They then said, "Messenger of God, is a Jew keeping you in restraint!'' to which he replied, "My Lord has prevented me from wronging one with whom a covenant has been made, or anyone else." Then when the day was advanced the Jew said, "I testify that there is no god but God, I testify that you are God's messenger, and half my property will be devoted to God's path. I swear by God that my only purpose in treating you as I have done was that I might consider the description of you given in the Torah:`Muhammad b. 'Abdallah whose birthplace is in Mecca, whose place of emigration is in Taiba, and whose kingdom is in Syria; he is not harsh or rough, or loud-voiced in the streets, and he is not characterised by coarseness or lewd speech.' I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that you are God's messenger. Give a decision about this property of mine according to what God has shown you." Now the Jew was very rich. Baihaqi transmitted it in Dala'il an-nubuwa.
