Summary
Malik transmits from Sumay, client of Abu Bakr, from al-Qaqa ibn Hakim, that Kab al-Ahbar said: if it were not for words I say, the Jews would have made me a donkey. He was asked: what are they? He said: I seek refuge in the face of the Great God, than which nothing is greater, and in the perfect words of God, and in all the Beautiful Names of God, what I know of them and what I do not know, from the evil of what He created, originated and made. 1
