Gifts of Knowledge

Ibn al-Qayyim mentions, “Ibn Isḥāq mentioned from ʿAbdullah ibn Abī Bakr who said, ‘Someone told me from [the Mother of the Believers, the Prophet’s ﷺ wife] Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyay that she said, ‘I was the most beloved of my father’s children to him and likewise to my uncle Abū Yāsir [both of whom were Jews]. When Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ came to Medinah they both went to him in the morning and later returned in the evening.

So I heard my uncle say to my father: ‘Is it him?’
He replied: ‘Yes, wallāhī.’
He said: ‘Do you recognise him and affirm it?’
He said: ‘Yes.’
He said: ‘So what do you feel about him?’
He said: ‘Enmity for him, wallāhī, as long as I live.’’

[Then Ibn al-Qayyim said] so this Nation under Allaah’s Wrath [الأمة الغضبية] is well-known of times old for its enmity to the Prophets.”
