How authentic is the book "The Grand Supplication of Our Master Moses, upon him be peace," which includes the story of the skull that God brought back to life for Our Master Jesus, and which was written by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Kafif, who passed away in the year 1100 AH?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The book Qissat al-Munajat (Story of the Supplication) and Qissat al-Jumjumah (Story of the Skull) have not been found. These are among the Israʼiliyyat (stories derived from Jewish or Christian traditions) which may be narrated for edification, but not for argumentation or for acting upon their contents.

The story of the skull was mentioned by Ibn Abi al-Dunya using the passive voice, indicating a weak narration. It is not possible to ascertain the authenticity of such stories narrated about Jesus (peace be upon him) regarding the resurrection of the dead.
