Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Convey from me, even if it is only one verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in that. And whoever deliberately lies about me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Can we narrate from the Children of Israel?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you may narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in it, for indeed whatever you narrate from them, among them are found matters even more astonishing than that."
