Those to whom We have given the Scripture, they recognise him, Muhammad "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , as they recognise their sons, because of the descriptions of him in their Scripture: ['Abd Allāh] Ibn Salām said, 'I recognised him the moment I saw him, as I would my own son; but my recognition of Muhammad "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" was more intense'; even though there is a party of them that conceal the truth, that is, his description, while they know, this [truth] which you [Muhammad "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" ] follow.
