Sunan Abi Dawud 3644 (Book 26, Hadith 4) #23934
Affirming Belief in Allah and His Apostle

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised not to confirm or deny the statements of people of other faiths, but rather to affirm belief in Allah and His Apostle.

Narrated AbuNamlah al-Ansari: When he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah and a Jew was also with him, a funeral passed by him. He (the Jew) asked (Him): Muhammad, does this funeral speak? The Prophet said: Allah has more knowledge. The Jew said: It speaks. The Messenger of Allah said: Whatever the people of the Book tell you, do not verify them, nor falsify them, but say: We believe in Allah and His Apostle. If it is false, do not confirm it, and if it is right, do not falsify it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَمْلَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ مُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ تَتَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ إِنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلاَ تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلاَ تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلاً لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how we should interact with people from other faiths. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised us not to confirm or deny any statement made by them, but rather to affirm our belief in Allah and His Apostle. This is important because it shows respect for their beliefs while also affirming our own faith. We should be open minded when listening to others, but at the same time remain firm in our own beliefs. It is also important that we do not get into arguments with those who have different views than us as this can lead to animosity between different groups of people. Instead, we should focus on finding common ground and understanding each other's perspectives without compromising our own faith.
