Hadith 2576
A Jew from Hira asked me which one of the two periods Musa (i.e. Prophet Moses) completed. I said,
"I don't know, (but wait) till I see the most learned 'Arab and inquire him about it." So, I went to Ibn
`Abbas and asked him. He replied, "Moses completed the longer and better period." Ibn `Abbas
added, "No doubt, an apostle of Allah always does what he says."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 52, Hadith 45

Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, Abu Bakr received some property from Al-`Ala bin
Al-Hadrami. Abu Bakr said to the people, "Whoever has a money claim on the Prophet, or was
promised something by him, should come to us (so that we may pay him his right)." Jabir added, "I
said (to Abu Bakr), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) promised me that he would give me this much, and this much, and
this much (spreading his hands three times)." Jabir added, "Abu Bakr counted for me and handed me
five-hundred (gold pieces), and then five-hundred, and then five-hundred." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 52, Hadith 44

Ibn `Abbas said, "O Muslims? How do you ask the people of the Scriptures, though your Book (i.e.
the Quran) which was revealed to His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you
recite it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you that the people of the
scriptures have changed with their own hands what was revealed to them and they have said (as
regards their changed Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly benefit thereby."
Ibn `Abbas added: "Isn't the knowledge revealed to you sufficient to prevent you from asking them?
By Allah I have never seen any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to you." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 52, Hadith 46
