Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from abu ‘Ubayda who has said the following. “I asked abu Ja‘far about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Most High. “. . Bring me a Book, revealed before this Quran, or any other proof based on knowledge to support your belief, if indeed you are truthful.” (46:4).
