The Quran informs us that the Prophet Muhammad was a gentile (ummy) who did not have knowledge of the previous scriptures. However, Hadith from Bukhari claims that he gave parables strikingly similar to those found in the Bible but with an expected Sunni traditionalist bend.
THE WEDDING BANQUET
Matthew 22:1-14 (NIV)
1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’ 5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless. 13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 7281
Muhammad ibn ‘Abadah narrated to us, Yazid informed us, Salim ibn Hayyan narrated to us—and he praised him—Said ibn Mina’ narrated to us, I heard Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah saying: “Angels came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was sleeping. Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.’ Others said, ‘The eyes are sleeping, but the heart is awake.’ They said, ‘Your companion (the Prophet) has a parable, so present a parable for him.’ Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.’ Others said, ‘The eyes are sleeping, but the heart is awake.’ They said, ‘His example is like that of a man who built a house, made a banquet in it, and sent a caller. Whoever answered the caller entered the house and ate from the banquet, and whoever did not answer the caller did not enter the house and did not eat from the banquet.’ They said, ‘Interpret it for him so he may understand it.’ Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.’ Others said, ‘The eyes are sleeping, but the heart is awake.’ They said, ‘The house is Paradise, the caller is Muhammad (peace be upon him). Whoever obeys Muhammad (peace be upon him) has obeyed Allah, and whoever disobeys Muhammad (peace be upon him) has disobeyed Allah. Muhammad (peace be upon him) distinguishes between people.’
