When Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, the Rabbis of Madinah assembled in Bayt-ul-Midraas (the name of the madrasah of the Jews), and after mutual consultation, they decided to go to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in order to ask him a few questions.

In the narration of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reported by Hazrat Sa’eed bin Musayyib (rahimahullah), it is mentioned that the Jews spoke among themselves and said, “Let us go to that man (a disrespectful way of indicating towards Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam]) and pose a few questions.”
