Did the Jews distort the description of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Torah, just as they distorted the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Was the distortion attributed to the Jews specific to the description of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), or did it include the hudud, given that Allah the Exalted said:
while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allahوَعِندَهُمُ التَّوْرَاةُ فِيهَا حُكْمُ اللَّهِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:43]
?

Answer:
The Jews distorted a great deal, they distorted a great deal, but they were unable to distort the descriptions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); they could not do it. However, they conceal them, otherwise they remain intact; they did not distort them. Rather, they distorted other rulings of the Shari'ah.
