شاهدی از بنی‌اسرائیل بر صدق قرآن

بیشتر مفسران گفته‌اند که منظور از این شاهدء دانشمند معروف یهود» عبدالله بن سلام است که در مدینه ایمان آورد و به مسلمانان پیوست. نقل شده است که او در ماجرایی که پیامبر(ص) و یکی از مسلمانان و گروهی از پهود حضور داشتندء ابتدا از پهودیان اقرار گرفت که او آگاه‌ترین آنتها به تورات است» سپس خود به نبوت پیامبر(ص) اقرار کرد و گواهی داد که او همان پیامبری است که در تورات و انجیل بشارت بعثتش آمده است. آنگاه به دین اسلام مشرف گشت و با پیامبر(ص) از نزد یهودیان خارج شد.
