Question:
He says: What is the Muslim's position on the Isra'iliyyat that are narrated?
Answer:
The Isra'iliyyat fall into three categories, as Ibn Kathir mentioned at the beginning of his tafsir. What our Shari'ah has declared invalid is invalid; what our Shari'ah has affirmed is true; and what our Shari'ah has remained silent about, we remain silent about. If the Children of Israel report something, do not believe them and do not deny them.[Al-'Ankabut 29:46] This is the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Perhaps it is true, and you are denying the truth without knowing. So hold back from it, my brother. Leave it. Yes.

and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
