O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray.

Open in Qurani

(O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger…) [4:136]. Said al-Kalbi: “This was revealed about ‘Abd Allah ibn Salam, Asad and Usayd the sons of Ka‘b, Tha‘labah ibn Qays and a group of believers from the people of the Book. These people said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we believe in you and in your Scripture, just as we believe in Moses, the Torah and Ezra, but we disbelieve in other messengers and Scriptures other than these’. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”.
