And they say, 'None shall enter Paradise except those who are Jews (hūd is the plural of hā'id) or Christians': this is what the Jews of Medina and the Christians of Najrān said when they disputed with the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , each party separately claiming Paradise for its members exclusively. Such, sayings, are their desires, their false passions. Say, to them: 'Produce your proof, your evidence for this, if you speak truly', in this matter.
