ultimate success in the Everlasting Life believed whereas those who were stubborn and envious were the losers. (Shaykh Darwish added:Among the bishops of Najran were those who refused to accept the truth, as did Suriya's son and the son of Akhtab, the chief rabbi of Medina. They knew the Prophet spoke the truth, but refused to acknowledge it as such. They were envious and stubborn, and thereafter died in disbelief.)
Despite the fact of their impassioned enmity towards the Prophet and urging their followers not to accept him, and their distorted arguments taken out of context from their books their is no evidence whatsoever that any of the People of the Book denied the veracity of the reports given in the Koran.
In the attempt of the People of the Book to gain the upper hand they questioned Prophet Muhammad relentlessly about their prophets and posed difficult questions. They questioned him about the secrets of their knowledge, the contents of their biographies as well as information concealed in their laws. They asked him about the spirit, Prophet Jesus, the judgment of the strong and what Israel forbade himself, as well as what beasts had become forbidden to them on account of their contemptible behavior.
Allah says, "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Those who are with him are harsh against the unbelievers but merciful to one another. You see them bow and prostrate themselves seeking the bounty and pleasure of Allah. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel" (48:29).
