It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew said to his companion: "Come, let us go to this Prophet and ask him about this verse {وَلَقَدْ آتَیْنَا مُوسٰی تِسْعَ آیَاتٍ} ... (And indeed We gave Musa [Moses] nine clear signs)." The other Jew said: "Do not call him a Prophet; if he hears this, he will become four-eyed," (meaning he will be very pleased that even the Jews call him a Prophet). So they came and asked, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Do not associate partners with Allah, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill a soul whom Allah has forbidden to kill except by right, do not practice magic, do not consume usury, do not bring an innocent and blameless person before the king so that he may be killed, do not slander a chaste woman, or he said, do not flee from the battlefield on the day of battle, and O Jews! Especially beware that you do not transgress on the Sabbath." Those Jews kissed the hands and feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "We bear witness that you are indeed a Prophet." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what is preventing and hindering you from following me?" They said: "Dawud (David), peace be upon him, prayed that a Prophet would always come from his lineage, so if we accept Islam, we fear that the Jews will kill us."
