78

And there is a group, a party, of them, the People of the Scripture, like Ka'b b. al-Ashraf, who twist their tongues with the Book, altering it by reciting it not according to the way in which it was revealed, but according to the way in which they have distorted it, as in the case of the descriptions of the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" and other similar matters; so that you may suppose it, such distortion, as part of the Book, that Allahu ta’ālā revealed; yet it is not part of the Book; and they say, 'It is from Allahu ta’ālā,' yet it is not from Allahu ta’ālā, and they speak falsehood against Allahu ta’ālā, while they know, that they are liars.
