Not to be confused with The '''Yahwedo''' are [[Christian Gnostics]] who say they are Jews in (Alazeena Haadu) but are not. They believe they are sons of God called "Uthra/Uzayir" ibn Allah. They live under the Quran]]guidance of the Ichvara priesthood.

They are not to be confused with [[Jews in the Quran]] who never pronounce the name of G-d. =Etymology=The root of the word Hawdu Yahūdi (يهودي) is to "delay" or "pause"; a Yahudi . A هودا or Hoodan (يهوديsingular) from this same root is a "Delayer" (singular) and the Yahūdu (اليهود) or are the "Delayers" (plural). The following is the linguistic analysis of this root in Arabic:

It i.e. Al-Tahweedu, Al-Tahwaadu, and Al-Tahawwudu: is the delay in walking, leniency, or gentleness depending on the context. While it is possible to imagine the meaning to be mild/lenient/gentle/hesitant with regards to their faith i.e. lapsed, luke-warm, insincere and lacking commitment/conviction, in fact the relevant sense (Delay) is illustrated in the Hadith of Imran bin ibn Husain that in which he instructed his people: "When I die, hurry up with my body to the burial and do not delay (Tuhawwidu) like the delaying of Al-Yahud the Yahūd (the delayers) and the Netzarim(from נֹצְרִים or "nōṣərim" meaning "watchers", a Messianic ''Samaritan'' group with origins dating back to Jeremiah 4:16, and 31:6)!" In Arabic: :وفي حديث عِمْران بن حُصين أَنه أَوْصَى عند موتِه: إِذا مُتُّ فَخَرَجْتُمْ بي، فأَسْرِعُوا المَشْيَ ولا تُهَوِّدُوا كما تُهَوِّدُ اليهودُ والنصارى Indeed it is known that the Jews do not delay when it comes to burial as they are required to bury on the same day. In The form: Yahūdi may be derived from the root as follows: Hawada, transformed to Haada (delayed/ repented): Yahwudu transformed to Yahūdu (1-to delay/ 2-to repent and act righteously: and here the two opposite meanings of the root word Haad take the same linguistic structure YAHUDU): However at the level of the noun in the Holy Quran they differ: he is Yahwudi transformed to Yahūdi = a Delayer; and he is a Haa'id = repenting and acting righteously; hence: Alazeena Haadu in the Holy Quran = the Torah observing Jews . According to this context analysis, the Yahudi refers Yahūdi (singular)/Yahūd (plural) refer to the ones who delay in the repentance or the return to the Truth. NB this is contrary to [[Jews in the Quran|Alazeena Haadu]]. Indeed it is known that the Jews do not delay when it comes to burial as they are required to bury on the same day.

This etymology is taken from based on the dictionaries::لسان العرب (Lisan El-Arab)collected by Ibn Mandhor

:مختار الصحاح الصّحّاح في اللغة (Mukhtar AlsihahFi Allughah)collected by Al-Jawhary. Note well that it is a mistake to equate Delayers with Hebrews because the Quran makes it clear that Abraham was not a Delayer (يهوديا) while the Torah makes it clear that he who became Abraham was indeed a Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). This brings us onto a certain element which deserves a small discussion. The Prophet Hūd هود (PBUH) mentioned for example in 26.124 is usually identified as Eber, the eponymous ancestor of all the Hebrews is from a different root meaning to that of the Delayers; Hūd is a name that means: glory, splendor, nobilty, and honour. Therefore, the etymological root of Prophet Eber's Arabic name Hūd (PBUH) is from "[[Jews in the Quran|Repentance and Righteousness]]", not from "Delay".

The beliefs It may be that many generations after Prophet Eber, the Hebrews had deviated from the deen of those who Delay mentioned inMedina, Khybar Noah and Hijaz in the time that because of this deviation some of Mahomed (PBUH) are similar (them came to be confused with the exception of lip-service to Moses) Delayers. Anyway it is certain that Abraham was sent as a messenger to those of the proto-Hebrews in the towns where he who became as they were his own people, indeed Abraham lived prior to his calling. This "proto-Hebrew" religion was described by Maimonides as called a kind of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism Hermeticism]. The Delayers Hebrew, but not all of Khybar who possessed the Torah and paid some kind of lip-service to Moses indicates that these particular Delayers had once been in some kind of contact with [[Jews in the Quran|real Jews]]Hebrews followed him as their new teacher. In the same way At least we know that "Ger Sheker" Heretics from among other Hebrew peoples such as the Amalekites or Idumeans equating prophet Hūd (See Moshe Sharon's entry on People of PBUH) and the Book in Hebrews with the Encyclopedia of Delayers is an oxymoron because as already stated, the Quranitself says that he who became Abraham was not a Delayer (يهودي) so too while the tribes Torah does call him a Hebrew which certainly warns us that the etymology of Hijaz, Khaybar, Hud and Medina criticised as being Delayers had come into contact with the Torah and, just like the Christians, decided are not to ignore it. In fact there are many more similarities between Delayers and certain types of Christianbe related.

Note well that it =Derogatory term=It is a mistake interesting to equate Delayers with Hebrews because the Quran makes it clear note that Abraham was not a Delayer Allah (يهودياسبحانه و تعالى) while does not even apply the Torah makes it clear that he who became Abraham was indeed a Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). This brings us onto a certain element which deserves a small discussion. The Prophet Hūd هود (PBUH) term Yahūd to those mentioned for example in 26.124 is usually identified the Holy Quran 4:46 as Ebera deviant minority, the eponymous ancestor of all the Hebrews is from a different root meaning to that few of the Delayers. Many generations after Prophet Eberwhom really believe, or even the Hebrews had deviated from the deen of Noah. It is because of this deviation that they came to be confused with the Delayers"Ger Sheker" minority "سماعون للكذب أكالون للسحت" i. Abraham was sent as a messenger to the Hebrews as they were his own people, indeed Abraham was called a Hebrew, but not many of the Hebrews followed hime. We know that equating prophet Hūd "greedy for illicit gain" (PBUHQuran 5:42) and the Hebrews with the Delayers is an oxymoron from among Alazeena Haadu, possibly because as already stated, the Quran itself says that he who became Abraham was not minority being discussed in 4:46 even yet includes a Delayer (يهودي) while few believers, thereby excluding the Torah does call him a Hebrew which certainly warns us that that possibility of applying the etymology of Hud and Delayers are not to be relatedtruly negative term Yahūd.

Much of what is said about Delayers is compared to the Netzarim Tirmidhi Chapter 29About one who calls another a mukhannath(using shrines as places of worship -SB Book #8 Hadith #427, SB Book #56 Hadith #6601467) or many other religions :عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ يَا يَهُودِيُّ فَاضْرِبُوهُ عِشْرِينَ:وَإِذَا قَالَ يَا مُخَنَّثُ فَاضْرِبُوهُ عِشْرِينَ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ عَلَى ذَاتِ مَحْرَمٍ فَاقْتُلُوه Sayyidina Ibn Abbas (e.g. circumcision SB Book #1 Hadith #6 and Delayers keep hands on flanks while praying according to SB Book #56 Hadith #664 and do not dye grey hair SB Book #56 Hadith #668RA), and there is a report concerning a Delayer narrated; The Prophet (يهوديSAW) who respected Moses said, “If anyone calls anotherperson, 0 Delayer’ then give him twenty stripes. If he calls the other, ‘O mukhannath’(SB Book #41 Hadith #594 & #595, SB Book #55 Hadith #620 & #626see below*)thengive him twenty st’ipes, as well as one And if anyone commits adultery with a curiosity about Moses (SB Book #48 Hadith #849), and indeed Mahomed (PBUH) judges them according to Torah equity (mahram woman then killhim.”[Ibn e.g. SB Book #41, Hadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9) but there Majah 2568][*A mukhannath is no need to go into the similarities because what the Quran does is to highlight the differencesone ("male") who carries in his movements, in his appearance and so it is to explore in his language the differences that this essay is being writtencharacteristics of a woman. These characteristics may either be innate or out of immoral purposes].

The Ger Sheker '''Hoodan''' (DelayTirmidhi 3267) belief of The people said "Kill the يهود (Delayers) rejects Gabriel as an enemy (SB Book #55 Hadith #546, SB Book #58 Hadith #275, SB Book #60 Hadith #7) and is doomed for being based around the veneration Delayer" to Abdullah ibn Salaam. The use of عزير (SB Book #93 Hadith #532s, SB Book #60 Hadith #105 and in Quran 9:30, [http://levinsky.academia.edu/AryeOlman/Papers/190914/_Uzair_As_a_Son_of_Allah_-_Understanding_of_One_Accusation Osiris according to Mohammed Magdi Bey, or a fallen angel according to Arye Olman], AlTabiri says the Quran word here is wrong to use the plural Delayers because according to him only Pinhas ben Azarya believed this) as the only begotten son of a "hand-fettered" depiction clear evidence of Allah (Quran 5:64). It is important to note that despite similarity in sound, the Jews (Bani Israeel) are clearly '''NOT''' the Delayers. In fact Delayers are extremely vehement against orthodox believers (Quran 5:82) which includes vehemence against those who follow the laws of Moses such incitement as well as the Bani Israeela derogatory term.

(Tirmidhi 3920):بَلَغَ صَفِيَّةَ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ بِنْتُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَبَكَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ:وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ فَقَالَتْ قَالَتْ لِي حَفْصَةُ إِنيِّ بِنْتُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ:صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكِ لَابْنَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَإِنَّ عَمَّكِ لَنَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّكِ لَتَحْتَ نَبِيٍّ فَفِيمَ تَفْخَرُ:عَلَيْكِ ثمَُّ قَالَ اتَّقِي اللَّهَ يَا حَفْصَة Sayyidina Anas reported that Sayyidah Safiyah (RA) had learnt that Sayyidah Hafsahcommented (about her), ‘Daughter of a Yahūdi (Delayer).’ So, she wept, The Prophet (SAW) went toher and found her weeping. He asked her, ‘Why do you weep?Some Hadith even report ” She said, “Hafsah saysto me that when lam the daughter of a Delayer.” The Prophet (SAW) said, “And you are the Delayers daughter of a Prophet and your uncle was a Prophet and you are alone in marriage with a believer Prophet. So, of what does she boast over you?” Then he said, “Fear Allah, O Hafsah!”[Ahmed 12395]. Daughter of a Prophet, i.e. Moses (PBUH)and your uncle is a Prophet, i.e. Aron (PBUH). This means that Prophet Muhammad (even one PBUH))described Sayyidah Safiyah, may Allah be pleased with her, as "Bint Israel" (daughter of Israel) and forbade Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with her, to call her "daughter of the Bani Israeela Yahūdi (Delayer) they will think about killing the believer{{citation needed}}" because it is a derogatory term.

==Used for Incitement==:ابن كثير::وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ “And the Delayers say: Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Netzarim say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!” [ 9:30] :وَهَذَا إِغْرَاء مِنْ اللَّه تَعَالَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى قِتَال الْكُفَّار مِنْ الْيَهُود وَالنَّصَارَى لِمَقَالَتِهِمْ هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَة الشَّنِيعَة وَالْفِرْيَة عَلَى اللَّه تَعَالَى فَأَمَّا الْيَهُود فَقَالُوا فِي الْعُزَيْر إنَّهُ اِبْن اللَّه تَعَالَى اللَّه عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًاIbn Hazm identified Kathir commented: "Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to fight the polytheists, disbelieving Delayers (commonly mistranslated as Jews) and Netzarim, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted. As for the Delayers , they claimed that `Uzayr was the son of God, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him"[http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2565&Itemid=64]. Kathir's understanding of Quran 9.30 is that its whole purpose (whether true or not) is to incite the believers against the Delayers and Netzarim. In another position in his Tafseer he said: "Therefore, Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated". It makes one wonder how it never reached him the saying of The Prophet (PBHH) that: “He who kills a sect Dhimmi will never smell the scent of Heaven even though its scent can be detected over the distance traversed in forty years” [Sahih Al-Bukhari]. He (BoethusianPBUH) Sadducees also said: “He who worshipped Ezraharms a Dhimmi (see below*) has indeed harmed me and will answer to me on the Day of Resurrection” [Kashf el-Khafa’a] . Ibn Hazm [* Dhimmi is a peaceful citizen living among the followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) according to Dhimmah, i.e. the covenant of peaceful co-existence, called Madinah Document/ Madinah Constitution).  Tirmidhi Chapter 110 (3829):لَمَّا أُرِيدَ قَتْلُ عُثْمَانَ جَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ قَالَ جِئْتُ فِي:نَصْرِكَ قَالَ اخْرُجْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَاطْرُدْهُمْ عَنِّي فَإِنَّكَ خَارِجًا خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْكَ دَاخِلًا فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ:اللَّهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ اسمِْي فِي الجَْاهِلِيَّةِ فُلَانٌ فَسَمَّانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى:اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ آيَاتٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ:{ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ:الظَّالِمِينَ }:وَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ:{ قُلْ كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابَ }:إِنَّ لِلَّهِ سَيْفًا مَغْمُودًا عَنْكُمْ وَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ قَدْ جَاوَرَتْكُمْ فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي نَزَلَ فِيهِ:رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ:لَتَطْرُدُنَّ جِيرَانَكُمْ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَلَتَسُلُّنَّ سَيْفَ اللَّهِ الْمَغْمُودَ عَنْكُمْ فَلَا يُغْمَدُ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ:الْقِيَامَةِ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوا الْيَهُودِيَّ وَاقْتُلُوا عُثْمَانَAbdul Malik ibn Umar reported on the authority of the nephew of Sayyidina Abdullahibn Salaam (RA) that when people resolved to kill Sayyidina Uthman Abdullah ibnSalaam went to him. He asked, What is with you?” He said, “I have come to help you.”He said, “Go to the people and put them away from me, for, you are better for meoutside than you are inside.” So, he went out to the people and said, “O people, myname during the Jahiliyah was so-and-so, but Allah’s Messenger named me Abdullahand verses of Allah’s Book were revealed about me. And, this vere was revealed aboutme:And a witness from among the children of lsra’il has already testified to its similarity(with earlier scripture) and has believed, while you are arrogant. Surely Allah guides notthe evildoing people. (41 : 10)And, also responsible :Say, Allah suffices as awitness between me and you, and whoso ever has with himknowledge of the book. (13 : 43)Allah’s sword is sheatled from you and the angels are your neighbours in this your citywhere Allah’s Messenger (SAW) had come. Allah! Fear Allah for this man whom youwish to kill. By Allah, if you kill him, your neighbouring angels will move away from youand Allah’s sword will be unsheathed against you never to be sheathed till the development Day of Resurrection.” They said, “Kill the doctrine Yahūdi (Delayer) and kill Uthman.” This Hadith shows clearly that the respectful term to describe Abdullah ibn Salaam is "Ibn Israel", i.e. the son of TahrifIsrael as mentioned in the Holy Quran; but when the enemies wanted to kill him, they incited that by calling him "Al-Yahūdi", the Delayer! ==Cursed are the Delayers==There are two Hadiths attributed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in which he said: "Qatala Allahu Al-Yahood" (May Allah destroy the Delayers) or "La'ana Allahu Al-Yahood" (May Allah curse the Delayers). The first Hadith is about selling the fats that Allah made unlawful in the Torah; and the second Hadith is about making the graves of the Prophets Masajid (plces of worship). Here are some of them: Tirmidhi 61.1301 حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْتَةِ وَالْخِنْزِيرِ وَالْأَصْنَامِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ شُحُومَ الْمَيْتَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُطْلَى بِهَا السُّفُنُ وَيُدْهَنُ بِهَا الْجُلُودُ وَيَسْتَصْبِحُ بِهَا النَّاسُ قَالَ لَا هُوَ حَرَامٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّحُومَ فَأَجْمَلُوهُ ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ Sayyidina Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrated that he heard Allah’s Messenger say in theyear of conquest (of Makkah) while he was at Makkah, “Indeed, Allah and HisMessenger have forbidden the sale of wine, dead animal, swine and idols.” Someoneasked. ‘0 Messenger of Allah! What do you say about fat of dead animal, for it is used tocoat and plate ships and anoint skins, and people light lamps with it.” He said, “No, thatis unlawful.” He added thereafter, “May Allah destroy the Delayers! Allah made unlawful forthem fat, they melted it and sold it and consumed its price. It might ”[Bukhari 2236 Muslim 1581, Abu Dawud 3486, Nisai 4669, Ibn e Majah 2167, Ahmed14479 حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي طَاوُسٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ بَلَغَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ فُلَانًا بَاعَ خَمْرًا فَقَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ فُلَانًا أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا Bukhari: Ibn Abbass (may Allah be necessary with him) said that Umar was told that someone has sold alcohol; he (Umar) said: "May Allah destroy that person; didn't he know that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "May Allah destroy the Delayers! Fats were made unlawful for them, so they melted them and sold them". However, the same Hadith was reported by Al-Darimi through the same chain of ascription with a serious alteration: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَلَغَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ بَاعَ خَمْرًا فَقَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ سَمُرَةَ أَمَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ''لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ'' حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا In this Hadith, the narrator, Mohamed ibn Ahmad said: ..."the Messeneger of Allah (PBUH) said: "May Allah curse the Delayers"..!! while the narrator of the former Hadith, Al-Humaydi said: ..."the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "May Allah destroy the Delayers"..!! The same alteration happened in the narration of the Hadith regarding the graves of prophets: In Sahih Muslim: حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ وَمَالِكٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ the narrator Haroon ibn Sa'eed with a chain up to reAbu Hurairah said: the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "May Allah destroy the Delayers! they made the graves of their prophets Masajid (places of worship)". In the same Sahih (Muslim), the same Hadith was narrated by Qutaybah ibn Sa'eed with a chain up to Abu Hurairah: وَحَدَّثَنِي قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "May Allah curse the Delayers and the Natzarim! they made the graves of their prophets Masajid (places of worship)". There are two questions here: What would the Prophet (PBUH) have said in these situations? Why the narrations differed like this? Shiekh El-Nayyal Abu Groon in his book: The All-visit Embracing Message of Islam said regarding the character of the Prophet (PBUH), which is the aim of the Message of Islam: Here, the Message shines brightly to illuminate its aim clearly, as the master Master of high moral qualities expounds:“Religion is interaction”. He exemplified this principle himself when his companions once asked him to lay a curse upon their persecutors (the mushrikeen), He (PBHH) replied: “I have not been sent to lay curses, but I have been sent as a mercy.” [Sahih Muslim]. In Musnad Ahmad: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِطَعَّانٍ وَلَا بِلَعَّانٍ وَلَا الْفَاحِشِ الْبَذِيءِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ سَابِقٍ مَرَّةً بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلَا بِاللَّعَّانِ Ibn HazmMas'uod said: "The believr (the faithful) is niether a back-biter, a curser, nor ......" Therefore, it quite unlikely that the Prophet (PBUH) would have cursed the delayers as mentioned above.. The changing of his words may have one explanation: to incite hatred between Bani Israel (allegedly called Yahood, delayers) and the followers of Muhammad (PBUH) for pollitical reasons.. ==Delayers are Doomed==Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's writings to see if this Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Delayers till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is really what he intendeda Hodite hiding behind me; so kill him. Certainly ' " (SB Book #52, Hadith #176) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Sadducees denied Delayers, and the resurrection stone behind which might a Hodite will be why they were interested in Osirishiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Hodite hiding behind me, so kill him." (SB Book #52, Hadith #177) Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Delayers will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Hodite behind me; kill him!' " (SB Book #56, Hadith #791)

Lo! The DIVINE is Able to do all things.Establish communion and pay the poor-due For whatever of good ye send before (you) for your Nafs ye will find it with The DIVINE. Lo! The DIVINE is Seer of what ye do.Though they say: None entereth Paradise unless he be '''Delayers''' or Netzarim These are their own desires; Say (O Ye Orthodox): Bring your proof if ye are loyal.Nay but whosoever dedicates his purpose to DIVINE while doing good his reward is with his MASTER and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.Though the '''Delayers''' say the Netzarim follow nothing and the Netzarim say the '''Delayers''' follow nothing -while both are readers of Apocrypha!- even thus speak those who know not! The DIVINE will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of The DIVINE lest should mention of HE be called therein? and who striveth for their ruin? As for such it suspected Dajjal, Ibn Sayyad, was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.Unto DIVINE belong the East and the West and whithersoever ye turn there is The DIVINE's countenance Lo! The DIVINE is All-Embracing All-Knowing.Though they ('''Delayers''' & Netzarim) say: "The DIVINE made a progeny be it glorified!" Nay, The DIVINE's is WHATSOEVER is in the heavens and the earth. ALL are subservient unto HIM!The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not The DIVINE speak unto us or some sign come unto us? Even thus as they now speak spoke those before them Their hearts are all alike WE (Sifatullah) have made clear the revelations for people who are sureDelayer.:In contrast to this, Jewish religion is not from the same root and certainly do not say that no one will enter paradise unless one follows Judaism. Indeed anyone who keeps the deen of Noah is regarded as saved according to Judaism. Moreover[Tirmidhi 2254, Jews do not say that the Netzarim follow nothingBukhari 3055, and Jews do not believe that God has made a glorified progeny. Muslim 2925]

ولن ترضى عنك اليهود ولا النصارى حتى تتبع ملتهم قل إن هدى الله هو الهدى ولئن اتبعت أهواءهم بعد الذي جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا نصير:2.120Though the Delayers will not be pleased with Thee (O Mursal) nor will the Netzarim till Thou follow their creed Say: Lo! the-guidance of The DIVINE is guidance! But if Thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto Thee then wouldst Thou have from The DIVINE no ally nor helperA Delayer child.:In contrast to this[Tirmidhi 2255, Jews do not require people to become Jews as long as they are on the Deen of Noah.Ahmed 20440]

وقالوا كونوا هودا أو نصارى تهتدوا قل بل ملة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من المشركين=Where did the problems begin?=:2Tafseer Al-Qurtubi; Tafseer Al-Tabari not referring to the tribe of Judah also said that not all Israelites were Delayers.135Though they say: "Be Delayers or Netzarim then ye will be rightly guided" Say Indeed Hadith (unto them O IsraelSB Book #53 Hadith #394): Nay but The Malha of Abraham Hanifa and he makes it clear that it was those who believed that the fire would not touch them except for a certain number of days are the polytheists.:Again the religion of the Delayers has nothing to do with Jews, and if Judaism is meant then it does not preach such a thingi.e. For Jews, as long as one is on the Deen of Noah then one is rightly guidedأميون from among the Bani Israeel (Quran 2:78-80).

أم تقولون إن إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحق ويعقوب والأسباط كانوا هودا أو نصارى :2???? said that the children of Israel were righteous until the Muwalidun began to increase among them.140Or say ye Muwalidun means that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes women they were Delayers or Netzarim? marrying were not members of Abraham's Household, nor even its followers/believers.:Judaism does not teach خْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ هُوَ ابْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَا زَالَ أَمْرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُعْتَدِلًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى نَشَأَ فِيهِمْ الْمُوَلَّدُونَ أَبْنَاءُ سَبَايَا الْأُمَمِ أَبْنَاءُ النِّسَاءِ الَّتِي سَبَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَقَالُوا فِيهِمْ بِالرَّأْيِ فَأَضَلُّوهُمْ Sunan Al-Darimi 120Mohamed son of Uyaynah told us that Ali the son of Mas-hir from Hisham the son of Urwah that Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Nawfal that Urwah ibn al-Zubayr said that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac the Prophet (BPUH) said: "The children of Israel were still upright and Jacob were Hoodan nor Netzarimthere was nothing wrong in them until grew up among them the Muwalladun, nor Jewschildren of the women of other nations which the children of Israel had captured (e.g. Idumeans). Monotheists yes, but not JewsFrom them came speculative opinion and misguidance in theology.

ما كان إبراهيم يهوديا ولا نصرانيا ولكن كان حنيفا مسلما وما كان من المشركين=Discussion=:3The beliefs of those who Delay mentioned in Medina, Khybar and Hijaz in the time of Mahomed (PBUH) are (with the exception of lip-service concerning the Laws of Moses) similar to those ascribed by Maimonides to the proto-Hebrews in the towns where he who became Abraham lived prior to his calling.67Abraham This "proto-Hebrew" religion was not an Delayer nor yet described by Maimonides as a Nasranian but he was a Hanifa a Muslim and he was not kind of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism Hermeticism]. The fact that the "Delayers" of Khybar who laid some sort of claim to the Laws of Moses indicates that these particular Delayers had once been in some kind of contact with [[Jews in the polytheistsQuran|real Jews]].:Jews do not teach In the same way that Abraham was a "YahudianGer Sheker" Heretics from among other Hebrew peoples such as the Amalekites or Idumeans (See Moshe Sharon's entry on People of the Book in the Encyclopedia of the Quran) clearly the tribes of Hijaz, Khaybar, and Medina criticised as being "Delayers"had also come into contact with the Torah and, just like most Christians, decided to ignore it. In fact there are many more similarities between Delayers and certain types of Christian.

وقالت اليهود والنصارى نحن أبناء الله وأحباؤه:5:18The Much of what is said about "Delayers " in the Quran and Hadith is compared to the Jewish Gnostic Netzarim say: we are children (using shrines as places of The DIVINE worship -SB Book #8 Hadith #427, SB Book #56 Hadith #660) or many other religions (e.g. circumcision SB Book #1 Hadith #6 and Delayers keep hands on flanks while praying according to SB Book #56 Hadith #664 and do not dye grey hair SB Book #56 Hadith #668). There is a report concerning a Delayer (يهودي) who respected Moses (SB Book #41 Hadith #594 & #595, SB Book #55 Hadith #620 & #626), as well as one with a curiosity about Moses (SB Book #48 Hadith #849), and its belovedsindeed Mahomed (PBUH) judges them according to Torah equity (e.g.:In contrastSB Book #41, Hadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9) but the similarities to Jews believe are very few and far between (no more than between Christianity and Judaism) and indeed what the Quran does is to highlight the differences, and so it is to explore the differences that all people are created in God's imagethis essay is being written.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود والنصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهم إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين:5.51O Ye Orthodox! Take not The Distancing them from a superficial similarity to Christianity, the '''Hoodan''' (Delay) belief of the يهود (Delayers ) of Khybar rejected Gabriel as an enemy (SB Book #55 Hadith #546, SB Book #58 Hadith #275, SB Book #60 Hadith #7) and is doomed for being based around the Netzarim for allies They are allies one to another sveneration of عزير (SB Book #93 Hadith #532s, SB Book #60 Hadith #105 and in Quran 9:30, [http://levinsky.academia.edu/AryeOlman/Papers/190914/he among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them Lo!

وقالت اليهود يد الله مغلولة :5It is obviously important to note that despite similarity in sound, the Jews (Bani Israeel) are clearly '''NOT''' the Delayers.64The In fact Delayers sayare extremely vehement against orthodox believers (Quran 5: The DIVINE's hand is fettered.:There is even criticism in 82) which includes vehemence against those who genuinely follow the Mishnah concerning people who say laws of Moses such a thing. Jews believe God is omnipotentas the Bani Israeel.

لتجدن أشد الناس عداوة للذين آمنوا اليهود والذين أشركوا ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين آمنوا الذين قالوا إنا نصارى:5.82Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) ???Some Hadith even report that when the Delayers and the Polytheists and thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! we are Netzarim...:In contrast, Jews have very good things to say about Islam. The war between Israel and Palestine is not alone with a war against Muslims. Indeed if all the People in Palestine started to behave like Muslims tomorrow then the war would be over, and many Jews would believer (even opt to be under the Islamic rule than under the secular state one of Israel. If anything the description Netzarim in this verse at least fits better with Jews than Bani Israeel) they will think about killing the description of the Delayersbeliever{{citation needed}}.

وقالت اليهود عزير ابن الله وقالت النصارى المسيح ابن الله ذلك قولهم بأفواههم يضاهؤون قول الذين كفروا من قبل قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكوناتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون:9.30 - 31Though Ibn Hazm identified the Delayers say: "`Azir son as a sect of The DIVINE" and the Netzarim say: "The Anointed son of The DIVINE" That is their saying with their mouths They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old The DIVINE (itselfBoethusian) condemns them How perverse are they!They have taken their wizards and their Rehaban as lords beside The DIVINE and Almasih inb MaryamSadducees who worshipped Ezra. but he didn't command them except that they serve only One Eloah, there is no Eloah save HIM Be HE glorified from all that they ascribe as partner!:This Ibn Hazm is also responsible for the clearest description development of the Delayers in the Quran, again (as in 2doctrine of Tahrif.109It might be necessary to re-2visit Ibn Hazm's writings to see if this is really what he intended.118) it re-iterates that they are guilty of ascribing partners unto The DIVINE and names Certainly the object of their veneration as `Azir. Whoever these Delayers are it is absolutely clear from Sadducees denied the Quran alone that they simply can not be educated Torah observant orthodox Jews. Moreover it identifies resurrection which might have set them as taking wizards as their lords. Much debate has raged over the identity in stead for veneration of 'Azir, some say he is Ezra, but this hardly fits the context. It is much more likely that his is the green man, immortal Osiris, venerated among the practitioners of witchcraft.

This ends the discussion In some instances Ibn Hazm's assessment would seem to be true that they were a sect of the Delayers Sadducees, but in the Quranother cases they appear to simple be deviant tribes of Amalekites insincerely converted to Judaism who created a syncretic pagan belief system.

The most holy month of the year for Hoodan (Hodite) people is Muharram (Iyyar), because of Ashura 3727 حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْفَرَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِصَوْمِهِ (SB Book #31 Hadith #222 SB Book #55 Hadith #609, SB Book #58 Hadith #278, SB Book #60 Hadith #202, SB Book #60 Hadith #261), a day of fasting on the 10th of Muharram to mourn the defeat of the Israelites over Egypt. It is falsely attributed to Mahomed (PBUH) that he adopted this fast from them. Jews however do not know this fast.

(17:101)He said that they were: (1) Associate nothing with Allah, (2) Do not commit fornication, (3)Do not unjustly take the life of one whose killing has been forbidden by Allah, (4) Do notsteal, (5) Do not practice magic, (6) Do not take an innocent to the king with false charges)that he might execute him, (7) Do not devour interest, (8) Do not accuse a chaste womanfalsely of fornication, (9) And, do not desert the battlefield.Shu’bah was unsure if this was included: And particularly for you, O Delayers, that you do notcontravene (the injunctions on) the Sabbath (Saturday). So, they kissed his hand and his feet,saying, “We bear testimony that you are a Prophet. He asked. ‘Then what prevents you fromsubmitting (in Isaim)?” They said, ‘Dawood had prayed that Prophets should not cease tocome in his offspring and we fear that if we submit the Delayers will kill us.’[Ahmed 18814] Chapter 33 (2742) Delayers transgress Sabbath:قَالَ يَهُودِيٌّ لِصَاحِبِهِ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُهُ لَا تَقُلْ نَبِيٌّ إِنَّهُ لَوْ سمَِعَكَ كَانَ:لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَعْيُنٍ فَأَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ تِسْعِ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ:فَقَالَ لهَمُْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا:بِالحَْقِّ وَلَا تَمْشُوا بِبَرِيءٍ إِلَى ذِي سُلْطَانٍ لِيَقْتُلَهُ وَلَا تَسْحَرُوا وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا وَلَا تَقْذِفُوا:مُحْصَنَةً وَلَا تُوَلُّوا الْفِرَارَ يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ خَاصَّةً الْيَهُودَ أَنْ لَا تَعْتَدُوا فِي السَّبْتِ قَالَ:فَقَبَّلُوا يَدَهُ وَرِجْلَهُ فَقَالَا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعُونِي قَالُوا إِنَّ دَاوُدَ دَعَا:رَبَّهُ أَنْ لَا يَزَالَ فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّا نَخَافُ إِنْ تَبِعْنَاكَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنَا الْيَهُودُSayyidina Saf wan ibn Assal (RA) reported that a Delayer said to his friend that he shouldaccompany him to the Prophet (SAW) His friend said, “Do not call him a Prophet (SAW)because if he hears that, he would be overjoyed.” They met the Prophet (SAW) andasked him about the nine clear signs. So, he said, to them (that they are): Do notassociate anything with Allah, Do not steal Do not kill anyone whom Allah has madesacred except when that is rightful Do not take an innocent man to the ruler that hemay slay him. Do not practice magic. Do not devour interest. Do not accuse an innocentwoman of indecency. Do not flee on the day of the battle. And particularly for you, ODelayers do not transgress in the matter of Sabath (sabt).” They kissed his hands and hisfeet and said, “We bear witness that you are a Prophet.” He asked. “Then what perventsyou from following me”? They said, “Dawood had prayed that Prophets should notcease to come from his progeny and we fear that if we follow you then the Delayers will killus.”[Nisai 4089, Ibn e Majah 3705,Ahmed 18114] Chapter 41 (2808) Delayers have untidy courtyards.:إِنَّ اللَّهَ طَيِّبٌ يُحِبُّ الطَّيِّبَ نَظِيفٌ يُحِبُّ النَّظَافَةَ كَرِيمٌ يُحِبُّ الْكَرَمَ جَوَادٌ يُحِبُّ الجُْودَ:فَنَظِّفُوا أُرَاهُ قَالَ أَفْنِيَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِالْيَهُودِSalih ibn Abu Hassan reported having heard Sa’eed ibn Musayyiab say, “Indeed Allah isPure. He loves the pure. He is Clean and loves cleanliness. He is Generous and lovesgenerosity. He is Benevolent and loves benevolence. So, keep yourselves clean andtidy.” The narrator thought that he also said, “Keep your courtyards clean and do notimitate the Delayers.” Salih said that he mentioned that to Muhajir ibn Masmar and he said“A hadith was narrated to me by Aamir ibn Sa’d from his father, from the Prophet (SAW)of like manner except that he did not say, “I think,” but orly “Keep your courtyardsclean.” Chapter 7 (2880) Delayers preceded Netzarim:أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِيمَا خَلَا مِنْ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ:الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِ الشَّمْسِ وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى كَرَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالًا:فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ فَعَمِلَتْ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ:فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ فَعَمِلَتْ:النَّصَارَى عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ثمَُّ أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى:قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ فَغَضِبَتْ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى وَقَالُوا نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً قَالَ هَلْ:ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاء Sayyidina Ibn Umar (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: ‘Indeed, yourappointed time relative to the people who have passed away is like between the salahof asr and the setting of the sun. And, your example relative to the Delayers and Netzarim islike a man who hired many labourers asking, “Who will work for me till afternoonagainst a qirat.” The Delayers worked against one qirat. Then he asked, “Who will work forme from afternoon on against a qirat”? The Netzarim worked against one qirat. Thenyou work from the salah of Asr to the setting of the sun against two qirats. So, the Delayersand the Netzarim became angry and said, “We work more but are paid less.” He asked“Have I wornged you and denied anything of your right”? They said, “No.” He said, “Thisis my favour. I grant it to whom I will.”[Ahmed 5909,Bukhari 557] Chapter 2 (2963):أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ هَذَا عَدِيُّ:بْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَجِئْتُ بِغَيْرِ أَمَانٍ وَلَا كِتَابٍ فَلَمَّا دُفِعْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَقَدْ كَانَ قَالَ قَبْلَ:ذَلِكَ إِنيِّ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِي قَالَ فَقَامَ فَلَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَصَبِيٌّ مَعَهَا فَقَالَا إِنَّ:لَنَا إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَقَامَ مَعَهُمَا حَتَّى قَضَى حَاجَتَهُمَا ثمَُّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَتَى بِي دَارَهُ فَأَلْقَتْ:لَهُ الْوَلِيدَةُ وِسَادَةً فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا وَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثمَُّ قَالَ مَا:يُفِرُّكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَهَلْ تَعْلَمُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ ثمَُّ تَكَلَّمَ:سَاعَةً ثمَُّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا تَفِرُّ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَيْئًا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ:فَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ مَغْضُوبٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَإِنَّ النَّصَارَى ضُلَّالٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنيِّ جِئْتُ مُسْلِمًا قَالَ:فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَهُ تَبَسَّطَ فَرَحًا قَالَ ثمَُّ أَمَرَ بِي فَأُنْزِلْتُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ جَعَلْتُ أَغْشَاهُ:آتِيهِ طَرَفَيْ النَّهَارِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَشِيَّةً إِذْ جَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ فِي ثِيَابٍ مِنْ الصُّوفِ مِنْ هَذِهِ:النِّمَارِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى وَقَامَ فَحَثَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثمَُّ قَالَ وَلَوْ صَاعٌ وَلَوْ بِنِصْفِ صَاعٍ وَلَوْ بِقَبْضَةٍ وَلَوْ:بِبَعْضِ قَبْضَةٍ يَقِي أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ أَوْ النَّارِ وَلَوْ بِتَمْرَةٍ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ:لَاقِي اللَّهَ وَقَائِلٌ لَهُ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَلمَْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ سمَْعًا وَبَصَرًا فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَقُولُ أَلمَْ أَجْعَلْ:لَكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ فَيَنْظُرُ قُدَّامَهُ وَبَعْدَهُ وَعَنْ:يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثمَُّ لَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقِي بِهِ وَجْهَهُ حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ لِيَقِ أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ:تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنْ لمَْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ فَإِنيِّ لَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ الْفَاقَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ نَاصِرُكُمْ وَمُعْطِيكُمْ:حَتَّى تَسِيرَ الظَّعِينَةُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ يَثْرِبَ وَالحِْيرَةِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَى مَطِيَّتِهَا السَّرَقَ قَالَ:فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي فَأَيْنَ لُصُوصُ طَيِّيءٍAdi ibn Hatim (RA) narrated I came to Allah’s Messenger (SAW) while he was sitting inthe mosque. The people introduced me, “This is Adi ibri Hatim.” I had come withoutanyone’s protection or guarantee. When I was presented to him, he held me by ny handand he had already said : (to his sahabah), “I hope that Allah will give his hand in mine.”Then he stood up with me. A woman who had a child with her met him. They said, “Wehave a petition for you.” He stood with them till he had disposed of their petition. Thenhe held my hand till he took me to his home. A young girl spread out a mat for him andhe sat on it while I sat by him. He praised and glorified Allah and asked me what mademe run away from saying “Do you know of any God besides Allah?” I said, “No.” Then hetalked for some time and asked. “What makes you runaway from saying (Allah is theGreatest)? Do you know of anything greater than Allah?” I said, “No.’ He said, ‘The Delayersare the ones on whom is the wrath while the Netzarim have gone astray.” I interrupted.“But, I am an upright Muslim !” I observed his face glow with pleasure. Then heinstructed me and I lodged at (the house of) an Ansar man and visited him (the Prophet(SAW) ) at the two ends of the day. One evening, while I was with him, some peoplecame to him. They wore woollen striped garments. He offered salah and stood up andmotivated them to pay sadaqah. He said: (Give) even a sa’, or half a sa’, or a handful, ora part of it - and, so let each of you protect his face from the heat of Hell or the Fireitself, even a piece of date, or a part of it. Each of you is to meet Allah and it will be saidto him - what I say to you now - ‘Did I not give you wealth and children?’ He will say,‘Certainly (you did).’ He will ask, ‘Where is that which you ought to have sent forwardfor yourself?’ He will look for it in front of him, behind him, to his right and to his left,but find nothing with which he might save his face from the heat of Hell. Each of youmust protect his face from the Fire even with half-a-date, and if he does not find it thenwith a good word. I do not fear over you hunger, for, Allah is your Help and Support andBestower till a solitary woman travels between Yathrib (Madinah) and Hirah, not fearingloss of her animal to highwaymen.” I said to myself. “Where are the robbers of Tayyi?”[Ahmed 19398) (2964):عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْيَهُودُ مَغْضُوبٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَالنَّصَارَى ضُلَّالٌ فَذَكَرَ:الحَْدِيثَ بِطُولِهِMuhammad ibn Muthanna and Muhammad ibn Bashaar reported from Muhammad ibnJa’far, from Shi’bah, from Simak ibn Harb, from Abb’ad ibn Hubaysh, from Adi ibn Hatim,from the Prophet (SAW) that he said, “The Delayers are they on whom is (Allah’s) wrath andthe Netzarim have gone astray.” And he mentioned the hadith in its entire length. Chapter 14 (3128) Delayers believe the following stories about Angels (while Jews don't).:أَقْبَلَتْ يَهُودُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ الرَّعْدِ مَا هُوَ قَالَ:َا السَّحَابَ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللَّهُ 􀄸 مَلَكٌ مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُوَكَّلٌ بِالسَّحَابِ مَعَهُ مَخَارِيقُ مِنْ نَارٍ يَسُوقُ ِ:فَقَالُوا فَمَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُ قَالَ زَجْرُهُ بِالسَّحَابِ إِذَا زَجَرَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى حَيْثُ:أُمِرَ قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنَا عَمَّا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَالَ اشْتَكَى عِرْقَ النَّسَا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ:شَيْئًا يُلَائِمُهُ إِلَّا لحُُومَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَلْبَانَهَا فَلِذَلِكَ حَرَّمَهَا قَالُوا صَدَقْتَSayyidina Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that some Delayers came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, “OAbul Qasim!Tell us about al-Ra’d (The Thunder) what is it?” He said, “He is an angle amongangels appointed over the clouds. He holds a whip of fire with which he drives the clouds towhatever Allah wills.” They asked, “What is this sound that we hear?” He said, “This is hisurging the clouds when he drives them till they end up where they are commanded to go.”They said “You speak the truth.” And they asked, “What had Isra’il forbidden himself?” Hesaid, “He complained of sciatica and he did not find anything comforting him except the fleshof camel and camel milk. So, hed forbid himself these things.” They said, “You speak thetruth.” Chapter 18 (3151):قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِيَهُودَ أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ سَلُوهُ عَنْ الرُّوحِ قَالَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ:الرُّوحِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى { وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ الرُّوحِ قُلْ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا:قَلِيلًا }قَالُوا أُوتِينَا عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ وَمَنْ أُوتِيَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا فَأُنْزِلَتْ:{ قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ }إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَ ةَSayyidina Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that the Quraysh requested the Delayers, Teach us somethingabout which we may ask this man.’ They said, Ask him about the spirit (Ruh).” So, Allah, theExalted, revealed:" And they ask you concerning the spirit Say "The Spirit is by the commandof my Lord and you have not been given of knowledge except a little." (17: 85) They said,“We have been given plenty of knowledge. Indeed, we are given the Torah and he who isgiven the Torah is given much good.” So, this verse was revealed: "Say, 'If the sea were inkfor the words of my Lord, the sea would certainly be exhausted before the words of my Lordare exhausted - though we brought the like of it for support."

The Prophet (SAW) askedthem, “What is the dust of Paradise?” They kept quiet some time and then asked, “Is itbread, O Abul Qasim?” He said, “Bread of flour.” (3338) More beliefs of the Delayers:قفَ عَََععاقَمَََّدداَ لادُد ل ن ا لاي خَََخ ايَ زز سننعَْ ةُِةمحلَمَِ مَّمُنََْججدُو هَها نَننلََّّْي غ مََملفَِ هُ قَققوََاَاا بلِ دل أ لوَوااِ لأ فُنَْ صَا لاَملااَ ح ننٍاَ سَبقُعَْْ دالَلِمرَُِ كمُوْ نا يا لأْقَ حيََاَ حوَّْْ صتىَلَّمَ تى حن قاَقنَاَالْ سُأَِْ سَل بوأاَ ل اَ لولَنِنَ لاَّبمبَنِ ايبَِّن بيِّينَّ ا دن غَ الرِل ب صَُف يَل كَِّوا نَّ جىاُهَق ح ااءَلَّْ م تىَل لَّرَ ق هَُن جدْسَ ع سأ لٌَأل لهيَْ سإَُِأ لَهِمْلَ لىنيَ وََ با وِاي هل سَنننَبَّلواَِّيَّ دُمَ بيِّق هَُ اهَمَْهلَ صَلْ لفلََّ أ يََ قيفَ ىاعْ لعغلُاَللَِل وا مُلمَُّ هأ بَُننَ ب ربنِيقَُّي عََُّال كُْوُكاْيلمٌمِْهمْل هكَوَُسك ئمِْسَْمل جَُ ل وَّْهامَ ر ةً:رَعََعصَل سُدَلوََّّيدُى لب أ ا خَالل عَلزَّنلَهَّدُةِهِا ءِعَ جلَا صَيْلَ هلهَِّنلَّ هِ ىمَ و إاِقلَ ساِّللَّ نيَّ هلُمَ سَعَاَمهئلاَِيْل كتهُِ هُذَ رْابْ موَ ةُ سوعَالهَّنْمَْلج كن تاةَِذاْ ر بْ لخَ قُبَْةِا فيُزاَ ل مَِ لجمفَنَرََّّنْةِةٍسَ الَ وعَكتِهَُّدشَوْراَ يمَر ةٌا هلِن كَ ودَّيِْرْفيَهمَ ةمًَ كَُّرثمُةٍَّ فتقلَِالمَُّْ ساوعَا ة جَخْقاَبْا ءلُزَُووةاٌا ينَقَاا علأَبْ موَاا قيَااَالْ قََلأاب اسَِله امِْمل قافاَلنَقَّسِاِمَُِّ بيل كمْSayyidina Jabir reported that some Delayers asked a few sahabah whether their Prophet (SAW)knew how many keepers of Hell were there. The sahabah said, “We do not know but weshall ask him.” So, a man went to the Prophet and asked, “O Muhammad, your sahabah weredefeated today.” He asked, “How were they defeated?” The man said, “The Delayers asked themwhether their Prophet knew the number of keepers of Hell.” He asked, “What did they say?”The man said that they said, “We do not know till we ask our Prophet." He asked, “Are apeople defeated when they are questioned about something they do not know? They onlysaid that they did not know till they asked their Prophet while they (the Jews) had askedtheir Prophet, show us Allah in public’. Bring these enemies of Allah to me.

Lo! The DIVINE is Able to do all things.Establish communion and pay the poor-due For whatever of good ye send before (you) for your Nafs ye will find it with The DIVINE. Lo! The DIVINE is Seer of what ye do.Though they say: None entereth Paradise unless he be '''Delayers''' or Netzarim These are their own desires; Say (O Ye Orthodox): Bring your proof if ye are loyal.Nay but whosoever dedicates his purpose to DIVINE while doing good his reward is with his MASTER and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.Though the '''Delayers''' say the Netzarim follow nothing and the Netzarim say the '''Delayers''' follow nothing -while both are readers of Apocrypha!- even thus speak those who know not! The DIVINE will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of The DIVINE lest should mention of HE be called therein? and who striveth for their ruin? As for such it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.Unto DIVINE belong the East and the West and whithersoever ye turn there is The DIVINE's countenance Lo! The DIVINE is All-Embracing All-Knowing.Though they ('''Delayers''' & Netzarim) say: "The DIVINE made a progeny be it glorified!" Nay, The DIVINE's is WHATSOEVER is in the heavens and the earth. ALL are subservient unto HIM!The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not The DIVINE speak unto us or some sign come unto us? Even thus as they now speak spoke those before them Their hearts are all alike WE (Sifatullah) have made clear the revelations for people who are sure.:In contrast to this, Jewish religion is not from the same root and certainly do not say that no one will enter paradise unless one follows Judaism. Indeed anyone who keeps the deen of Noah is regarded as saved according to Judaism. Moreover, Jews do not say that the Netzarim follow nothing, and Jews do not believe that God has made a glorified progeny.  ولن ترضى عنك اليهود ولا النصارى حتى تتبع ملتهم قل إن هدى الله هو الهدى ولئن اتبعت أهواءهم بعد الذي جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا نصير:2.120Though the Delayers will not be pleased with Thee (O Mursal) nor will the Netzarim till Thou follow their creed Say: Lo! the-guidance of The DIVINE is guidance! But if Thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto Thee then wouldst Thou have from The DIVINE no ally nor helper.:In contrast to this, Jews do not require people to become Jews as long as they are on the Deen of Noah. وقالوا كونوا هودا أو نصارى تهتدوا قل بل ملة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من المشركين:2.135Though they say: "Be Delayers or Netzarim then ye will be rightly guided" Say (unto them O Israel): Nay but The Malha of Abraham Hanifa and he was not of the polytheists.:Again the religion of the Delayers has nothing to do with Jews, and if Judaism is meant then it does not preach such a thing. For Jews, as long as one is on the Deen of Noah then one is rightly guided. أم تقولون إن إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحق ويعقوب والأسباط كانوا هودا أو نصارى :2.140Or say ye that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes were Delayers or Netzarim? :Judaism does not teach that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob were Hoodan nor Netzarim, nor Jews. Monotheists yes, but not Jews. ما كان إبراهيم يهوديا ولا نصرانيا ولكن كان حنيفا مسلما وما كان من المشركين:3.67Abraham was not an Delayer nor yet a Nasranian but he was a Hanifa a Muslim and he was not of the polytheists.:Jews do not teach that Abraham was a "Yahūdian". وقالت اليهود والنصارى نحن أبناء الله وأحباؤه:5:18The Delayers and the Netzarim say: we are children of The DIVINE and its beloveds.:In contrast, Jews believe that all people are created in God's image. يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود والنصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهم إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين:5.51O Ye Orthodox! Take not The Delayers and the Netzarim for allies They are allies one to another s/he among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them Lo! The DIVINE guides not wrong-doing folk.:Jews are not allied to Netzarim, and simply being in alliance with the Jews is certainly not enough to make one into a Jew. وقالت اليهود يد الله مغلولة :5.64The Delayers say: The DIVINE's hand is fettered.:There is even criticism in the Mishnah concerning people who say such a thing. Jews believe God is omnipotent. لتجدن أشد الناس عداوة للذين آمنوا اليهود والذين أشركوا ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين آمنوا الذين قالوا إنا نصارى:5.82Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Delayers and the Polytheists and thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! we are Netzarim...:In contrast, Jews have very good things to say about Islam. The war between Israel and Palestine is not a war against Muslims. Indeed if all the People in Palestine started to behave like Muslims tomorrow then the war would be over, and many Jews would even opt to be under the Islamic rule than under the secular state of Israel. If anything the description Netzarim in this verse at least fits better with Jews than the description of the Delayers. وقالت اليهود عزير ابن الله وقالت النصارى المسيح ابن الله ذلك قولهم بأفواههم يضاهؤون قول الذين كفروا من قبل قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكوناتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون:9.30 - 31Though the Delayers say: "`Azir son of The DIVINE" and the Netzarim say: "The Anointed son of The DIVINE" That is their saying with their mouths They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old The DIVINE (itself) condemns them How perverse are they!They have taken their wizards and their Rehaban as lords beside The DIVINE and Almasih inb Maryam. but he didn't command them except that they serve only One Eloah, there is no Eloah save HIM Be HE glorified from all that they ascribe as partner!:This is the clearest description of the Delayers in the Quran, again (as in 2.109-2.118) it re-iterates that they are guilty of ascribing partners unto The DIVINE and names the object of their veneration as `Azir. Whoever these Delayers are it is absolutely clear from the Quran alone that they simply can not be educated Torah observant orthodox Jews. Moreover it identifies them as taking wizards as their lords. Much debate has raged over the identity of 'Azir, some say he is Ezra, but this hardly fits the context. It is much more likely that his is the green man, Osiris, venerated among the practitioners of witchcraft. This ends the discussion of the Delayers in the Quran. =Osiris= =Conclusion=Having looked with all due diligence into the identity of the original Delayers mentioned in the Quran, we can be absolutely certain that the term does not refer to any practitioners of any form of normative Judaism, unless the definition of Judaism is expanded to include Christianity, which will not likely come to pass. No, but just as Christianity has taken much from Judaism the same can be said about the religion of the Delayers mentioned in the Quran. It may be that this inheritance comes from the fact that just as many of the early Christians, many of the Delayers could have been patrilineal descendants of Jacob whose gentile (e.g. Idumean) mothers were not interested in the Torah and instead introduced them to gentile practices. Thus the Quran describes them as Gentiles from among those of the children of Israel whose hearts are hardened (Quran 2.74-78).  It is beyond doubt that one of the key pillars of the non-Jewish Syncretism adhered to by the particular Delayers in question is the worship of Uzayr as son of Allah (as reported by Tabiri concerning the four sages who came to Muhammad PBUH). It may certainly be argued that the identification of Uzayr is not important, but since there is such a conflict between the Delayers and the Netzarim it might be worthwhile considering the conflict between the Astrotheologians on whether a story about a messenger written in the book of nature is concerning the Messiah or concerning Osiris. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eetLnLgrDko&feature=channel_video_title
