Narrated Ataa ibn Yasar who said: ‘I met Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas and asked him, “Tell me
about the description of Allaah’s Messenger which is mentioned in the Tawrah (i.e. Old
Testament).” He replied, “Yes. By Allaah, he is described in the Tawrah with some of the qualities
attributed to him in the Qur’aan as follows:
‘O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness (for Allaah’s True Religion), and a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), and a warner (to the unbelievers), and a guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My Messenger. I have named you “al-Mutawakkil” (who depends upon Allaah). You
are neither discourteous, harsh, nor a noise-maker in the markets, and you do not do evil to those
who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness. Allaah will not let him
(the Prophet) die until he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: “None has the
right to be worshipped but Allaah,” with which will be opened blind eyes and deaf ears and enveloped hearts.”
