What is the nature of the Psalms of David—mentioned in verse 96 of Surat Al-Ma’idah—and have they been abrogated? And does the hadith "Remove whoever has a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart" include believers among the People of the Book, both Jews and Christians?
Verse 96 of Al-Ma'idah is not abrogated. The "Psalms of David" refers to the Zabur and the various supplications that David, peace be upon him, used to chant. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, likened the beauty of David's voice to a mizmar (flute/wind instrument). The about bringing out from Hellfire anyone who has an atom's weight of faith in their heart does not include Jews and Christians, due to his, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one from this nation, neither a Jew nor a Christian, hears of me, then dies without believing in that with which I was sent, except that he will be among the companions of the Fire."
