Ahkaf 10:

•  De ki:' Düşünün bir; ya bu mesaj Allah(cc) katından geliyorsa ve siz onu inkar ediyorsunuz. Halbuki, israiloğullarından bir çokları (شَاهِدٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ) benzeri vahye inanmışken, siz inatla inkar ediyorsunuz! Allah(cc), böyle zalim bir topluluğu hidayete eriştirmez'.

   Bazı  sahabilerin  bu  âyetle  yıllar  sonra  Medine'de  Müslüman  ola­cak  olan   Abdullah  b.   Selam  arasında  ilişki  kurmaları,  âyeti  bir  "önceden  haber  verme"  olarak  gördükleri  şeklinde  anlaşılabilir.  Mİ
  
  Âyet-i kerîme'de geçen şâhidkelimesi, cins ismi olup Abdullah İbn Selâm ve başkaları hakkında umûmîdir. Bu âyet-i kerîme, Mekke' de ve Abdullah İbn Selâm'ın müslüman olmasından önce nazil olmuştur. Ve Allah Teâlâ'nın şu kavilleri gibidir: «Onlara Kur'an okunduğu zaman derler ki: Ona inandık, doğrusu o Rabbımızdan gelen gerçektir. Şüphesiz biz, daha önceden de müslüman olmuş kimseleriz.» (Kasas, 53), «Muhakkak ki ondan önce kendilerine bilgi, verilenlere, o okunduğu zaman, yüzleri üstü secdeye kapanırlar ve derler ki, tenzih ederiz Rabbımızı. Rabbımızın va'di şüphesiz yerine gelmiş olacaktır,» (İs-râ, 107, 108). Mesrûk ve Şa'bî, bu âyet-i kerîme'de zikredilen şahidin Abdullah İbn Selâm olmadığını söylerler. Zîrâ âyet Mekke'de nazil olmuştur. Abdullah İbn Selâm'ın İslâm'a girmesi iseMedine'dedir. Ibn Kesir
  
  A large number of the commentators have taken this "witness" to imply Hadrat 'Abdullah bin Salam, who was a famous Jewish scholar of Madinah, and who believed in the Holy Prophet after the migration. As this thing happened in Madinah, these commentators say that this verse was revealed at Madinah. This commentary is based on a statement of Hadrat Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas according to which this verse was sent down in respect of Hadrat `Abdullah bin Salam (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'i Ibn Jarir); and on the same basis have several major commentators like Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Dahhak, Ibn Sirin, Hasan Basri, Ibn Zaid and `Auf bin Malik al-Ashja`i accepted this commentary. But, on the other hand, 'Ikrimah and Sha`bi and Masruq say that this verse cannot be about `Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) for this entire Surah was sent down at Makkah. Ibn Jarir Tabari also has preferred this view. He says: The whole previous discourse is an address directed to the pagans of Makkah and the following discourse also is directed to them. In this context it is not conceivable that a verse revealed at Madinah was inserted here. The later commentators who have accepted this second version, do not reject the tradition of Hadrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, but have opined that as this verse also applies to Hadrat 'Abdullah bin Salam's affirmation of the faith, Hadrat Sa`d expressed the opinion, in the tradition of the ancients, that it was sent down with regard to him. This does not, however, mean that when he believed, it was revealed then about him only, but that this verse precisely applied to him and his acceptance of Islam.
  
  Apparently, this second view seems to be more correct and reasonable. Now. the question that remains to be answered is: Who is implied by this witness?" Some of the commentators who have accepted the second view say that it implies the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), but the following sentence: 'He believed white you showed arrogance", bears no relevance to this explanation. What seems to be nearer the truth is that which the commentator Nisaburi and Ibn Kathir have stated. They say: Here, by "a witness" is not meant any particular person but a common Israelite.. The meaning is this; "The teachings that the Qur'an is presenting before you are not new so that you could deny them by offering the excuse that they were novel teachings which had never been presented before man in the past. Before this these very teachings have been similarly revealed and exist with the Israelites in the form of the Torah and other scriptures, and a common Israelite has already believed in them, and also admitted that Allah's Revelation is a means of the coming down of these teachings. Therefore, you cannot make the claim that Revelation and these teachings are incomprehensible. The only thing that hinders you from believing is your arrogance and baseless conceit. "  ET
