===If ten Jews followed Muhammad, all Jews would embrace Islam===
In the following hadith Muhammads says that if ten Jews (عَشْرَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ) followed him, all Jews would embrace Islam. If ten Jews indeed followed Muhammad, this would be a false prophecy, because there are Jews who have not embraced Islam in modern times. To cover this up, the hadith has been mistranslated by Abdul Hamid Siddiqui so that it says 'ten scholars of the Jews'.
{{Quote|{{Muslim|39|6711}}|
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
If '''ten scholars of the Jews''' would follow me, no Jew would be left upon the surface of the earth who would not embrace Islam.}}
