The third aspect:
They ask the People of the Scripture about what happened between the messengers and their nations, and about the fate of those who believed in them and the fate of those who rejected them.
The fourth aspect:
They ask the People of the Scripture about the religion with which Allah sent His messengers—namely, the religion of Islam on which all the messengers agreed: the command to uphold tawḥīd (monotheism), truthfulness, and justice; to show kindness to parents and maintain family ties; and the prohibition of shirk (idolatry), wrongdoing, and indecency.
The fifth aspect:
They ask them how the messengers described their Lord—does that description agree with what Muhammad has conveyed or not? These questions concern matters that are mutawātir (mass-transmitted), well known among the People of the Scripture and not subject to doubt. Yet the fact that something of this sort is known to them by tawātur and they are asked about it does not mean that everything they might report must also be known to them at the level of tawātur.
They also inquire about the testimonies and glad tidings they possess concerning the prophethood of Muhammad—may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
Allah has spoken of this in the Quran, saying:
“My mercy encompasses all things; I shall ordain it for those who are mindful, who give the prescribed alms, and who believe in Our signs—those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins them to what is right and forbids them what is wrong, makes lawful for them the good things, prohibits for them the vile, and relieves them of their burden and the shackles that were upon them.” (al-Aʿrāf: 156–157)
