Hazrat Aamir bin Sad bin Abi Waqqas narrated from his father Hazrat Saad bin Abi Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported & said, I have never heard the The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying about anybody walking on the earth that he is from the people of Paradise except Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (May Allah be pleased with him). The following Verse was revealed in Surah Al-Ahqaf (Ayat 10) concerning him: Say: Tell me! If this (Quran) is from Allah, and you deny it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel (Abdullah bin Salam ) testifies that this Quran is from Allah [like the Taurat (Torah)], so he believed (embraced Islam) while you are too proud (to believe). Verily! Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers and wrong-doing). (46.10) [Al-Bukhari Book 05, Chapter 58, Hadith # 157]. Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 197.Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like Abdullah bin Salam who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)? This Hadith also highlights the merits of Ahlul-Kitab means the people of the Scriptures, that is the Jews and the Christians. This Hadith has an inducement for them that if they embrace Islam, they will be entitled to a reward. Reported by Jabir (raziallahu anhu) The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, For him who says: Subhan-Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him, and to Him), a palm tree will be planted in Jannah.
