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:

i.e. Al-Tahweedu, Al-Tahwaadu, and Al-Tahawwudu: is the delay in walking, lineancyleniency, or gentleness depending on the context. The 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 ibn Husain 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

The form: Yahudi Yahūdi may be derived from the root as follows: Hawada, transformed to Haada (delayed/ repented): Yahwudu transformed to Yahudu 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 Yahudi 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 Yahudi 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]].

[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 (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 a Yahudi Yahūdi (Delayer)" because it is a derogatory term.

: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 Christians 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 Kathir commented: "Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to fight the polytheists, disbelieving Delayers (commonly mistranslated as Jews) and ChristiansNetzarim, 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 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 (PBUH) also said: “He who harms a Dhimmi (see below*) has indeed harmed me and will answer to me on the Day of Resurrection” [Kashf el-Khafa’a] . [* 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).

Resurrection.” They said, “Kill the Yahudi 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 Israel as mentioned in the Holy Quran; but when the enemies wanted to kill him, they incited that by calling him "Al-YahudiYahūdi", the Delayer!

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 the

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 members of Abraham's Household, nor even its followers/believers.

The beliefs of those who Delay mentioned in 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. Much of what is said about "Delayers" in the Quran 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 (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 indeed Mahomed (PBUH) judges them according to Torah equity (e.g. SB Book #41, Hadith #596, SB Book #51 Hadith #9) but the similarities to Jews 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 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.
