Not The '''Yahwedo''' are [[Christian Gnostics]] who say they are Jews (Alazeena Haadu) but are not. They believe they are sons of God called "Uthra/Uzayir" ibn Allah. They live under the guidance of the Ichvara priesthood. They are not to be confused with [[Jews in the Quran]]who never pronounce the name of G-d.

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 In this context the Yahudi refers to the ones who delay in 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.

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 analysis, the Yahūdi (singular)/Yahūd (plural) refer to the ones who delay the repentance or the return to the Truth. NB this is contrary to [[Jews in the Quran|Alazeena Haadu]].  This etymology is taken from based on the dictionaries:

So and so Tafseer Al-Qurtubi; Tafseer Al-Tabari not referring to the tribe of Judah also said that not all Israelites were Delayers. Indeed Hadith (SB Book #53 Hadith #394) 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 the Delayers i.e. the أميون from among the Bani Israeel (Quran 2:78-80). ???? said that the children of Israel were righteous until the Muwalidun began to increase among them. Muwalidun means that the women they were marrying were not believers and not even members of Abraham's Household, nor even its followers/believers.

The beliefs of those who Delay mentioned inMedinain Medina, Khybar and Hijaz in the time of Mahomed (PBUH) are similar (with the exception of lip-service to concerning the Laws of Moses) similar to those of ascribed by Maimonides to the proto-Hebrews in the towns where he who became Abraham lived prior to his calling. This "proto-Hebrew" religion was described by Maimonides as a kind of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism Hermeticism]. The fact that the "Delayers " of Khybar who possessed the Torah and paid laid some kind sort of lip-service claim to the Laws of Moses indicates that these particular Delayers had once been in some kind of contact with [[Jews in the Quran|real Jews]]. In the same way that "Ger 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) so too clearly the tribes of Hijaz, Khaybar, and Medina criticised as being "Delayers " had also come into contact with the Torah and, just like the most Christians, decided to ignore it. In fact there are many more similarities between Delayers and certain types of Christian.

Note well that it Much of what is a mistake to equate said about "Delayers with Hebrews because " in the Quran makes it clear that Abraham was and Hadith is compared to the Jewish Gnostic Netzarim (using shrines as places of 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 (يهوديايهودي) while the Torah makes it clear that he who became Abraham was indeed respected Moses (SB Book #41 Hadith #594 & #595, SB Book #55 Hadith #620 & #626), as well as one with a Hebrew curiosity about Moses (Genesis 14:13SB Book #48 Hadith #849). This brings us onto a certain element which deserves a small discussion. The Prophet Hūd هود , and indeed Mahomed (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 judges them according to that of the DelayersTorah equity (e. Many generations after Prophet Eber, the Hebrews had deviated from the deen of Noahg. It is because of this deviation that they came to be confused with the Delayers. Abraham was sent as a messenger to the Hebrews as they were his own peopleSB Book #41, indeed Abraham was called a HebrewHadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9) but not many of the Hebrews followed him. We know that equating prophet Hūd similarities to Jews are very few and far between (PBUHno more than between Christianity and Judaism) and the Hebrews with the Delayers is an oxymoron because as already stated, indeed what the Quran itself says that he who became Abraham was not a Delayer (يهودي) while the Torah does call him a Hebrew which certainly warns us that that is to highlight the etymology of Hud differences, and Delayers are not so it is to be relatedexplore the differences that this essay is being written.

Much of what is said about Delayers is compared Distancing them from a superficial similarity to Christianity, the Netzarim '''Hoodan''' (using shrines as places Delay) belief of worship -SB Book #8 Hadith #427, SB Book #56 Hadith #660the يهود (Delayers) or many other religions of Khybar rejected Gabriel as an enemy (e.g. circumcision SB Book #1 55 Hadith #6 and Delayers keep hands on flanks while praying according to 546, SB Book #56 58 Hadith #664 and do not dye grey hair 275, SB Book #56 60 Hadith #6687), and there is a report concerning a Delayer (يهودي) who respected Moses doomed for being based around the veneration of عزير (SB Book #41 93 Hadith #594 & #595532s, SB Book #55 60 Hadith #620 & #626)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, as well as one with or a curiosity about Moses (SB Book #48 Hadith #849), and indeed Mahomed (PBUH) judges them fallen angel according to Torah equity Arye Olman], AlTabiri says in the opinion of عَبْد اللَّه بْن عُبَيْد بْن عُمَيْر Abdullah ibn Ubayd ibn Umayr that it was only Pinhas ben Azarya believed this as the only begotten son of a "hand-fettered" depiction of Allah (e.g. SB Book #41, Hadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9Quran 5:64) but there is no need to go into the similarities because what as if the Quran does is wrong to highlight use the differencesplural Delayers. Allegedly it was also Pinhas who said: { إِنَّ اللَّه فَقِير وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيَاء } "Truly, Allah is indigent and so it is to explore the differences that this essay is being written.we are rich!"<ref>Tafseer Al-Tabari</ref>)

The Ger Sheker '''Hoodan''' (Delay) belief of 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 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 in the opinion of عَبْد اللَّه بْن عُبَيْد بْن عُمَيْر Abdullah ibn Ubayd ibn Umayr, as if the Quran 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 of Allah (Quran 5:64). And also he is ine who said: { إِنَّ اللَّه فَقِير وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيَاء } "Truly, Allah is indigent and we are rich!"- , <ref> Tafseer Al-Tabari </ref>) It is obviously 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 genuinely follow the laws of Moses such as the Bani Israeel.

???Some Hadith even report that when the Delayers are alone with a believer (even one of the Bani Israeel) they will think about killing the believer{{citation needed}}.

Ibn Hazm identified the Delayers as a sect of (Boethusian) Sadducees who worshipped Ezra. Ibn Hazm is also responsible for the development of the doctrine of Tahrif. It might be necessary to re-visit Ibn Hazm's writings to see if this is really what he intended. Certainly the Sadducees denied the resurrection which might be why they were interested have set them in stead for veneration of the immortal Osiris.

Hadith (SB Book #53 Hadith #394) says that those who believed that the fire would not touch them except for a certain number of days are the the Delayers i.e. the أميون from among the Bani Israeel (Quran 2:78-80), and <ref> Tafseer Al-Qurtubi; Tafseer Al-Tabari </ref> not referring to the tribe of Judah also said that not all Israelites were Delayers. In some instances Ibn Hazm's assessment would seem to be true that they were a sect of Sadducees, but in other cases they appear to simple be Ger Sheker deviant tribes of Amalekites insincerely converted to Judaism being "سماعون للكذب أكالون للسحت" i.e. "greedy for illicit gain" (Quran 5:42)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.

=Sahih Sunan Abudawud=

:Jews do not teach that Abraham was a "YahudianYahūdian".

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 were 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).
