In such cases we have been instructed to withhold judgment, neither confirming nor denying the report, as is established in the sound ḥadith: “When the People of the Scripture narrate something to you, do not affirm it and do not deny it; rather say, ‘We believe in that which has been sent down to us and in that which has been sent down to you.’” These accounts may still be related, in light of the previously cited ḥadith: “Convey reports from the Children of Israel without constraint.”
