Allah the Almighty says:

{And put forward to them a similitude: the (story of the) dwellers of the town, when there came Messengers to them. When We sent to them two Messengers, they belied them both; so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: "Verily we have been sent to you as Messengers." They (people of the town) said: "You are only human beings like ourselves and the Most Gracious (Allah) has revealed nothing. You are only telling lies." The Messengers said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent as Messengers to you." And our duty is only to convey plainly (the Message)." They (people) said: "For us, we see an evil omen from you: if you cease not, we will surely stone you, and a painful torment will touch you from us."They (Messengers) said:

"Tsinin ku yana tare da ku! (Shin kuna kiransa "tsinin"?) Saboda an yi muku gargaɗi? A'a, sai dai ku mutane ne Musrifun (masu ketare iyaka ta kowane fanni, ta hanyar aikata manyan zunubai iri-iri, da kuma ta hanyar sabawa Allah)."

"Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it "evil omen") because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifun (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).

"Kuma me zai hana ni bautar Wanda ya halicce ni, kuma zuwa gare Shi ne za a mayar da ku?" "Shin zan riƙi waɗansu gumaka baya gare Shi?"

And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town. He said: "O my people! Obey the Messengers. " “Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided. "And why should I not worship Him (Allah Alone) Who has created me and to Whom you shall be returned." "Shall I take besides Him alihah (gods)?

If the Most Gracious (Allah) intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me?" "Then verily, I should be in plain error." “Verily! I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!" It was said (to him when the disbelievers killed him):

"Ku shiga Aljanna." Ya ce: "Kaico! Da mutanena sun sani. Cewa Ubangijina (Allah) ya gafarta mini, kuma ya sanya ni daga cikin masu daraja!" Kuma ba Mu saukar wa mutanensa bayansa wani runduna daga sama, kuma ba ta kasance wajibi a gare Mu mu saukar da (irin wannan ba). Ba abin da ya kasance sai tsawa guda ɗaya (Saihah).

"Enter Paradise." He said: "Would that my people knew. "That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones!" And We sent not against his people after him a host from the heaven, nor was it needful for Us to send (such a thing). It was but one Saihah (shout)

Da kuma! Duk sun kasance cikin shiru, matattu, halakakku}. (Ya-Sin, 13-29)

and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}. (Ya-Sin, 13-29)

Wannan sarki yana lura da bautar gumaka. Allah Maɗaukaki ya aiko masa da Manzanni uku, waɗanda ya ƙaryata su sosai. Manzannin su ne:

'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas, Ka'b Al-Ahbar and Wahb Ibn Munabih and many others narrated a story of a town called Antioch (Antakiyah), governed by the king Antikhis Ibn Antikhis. This king used to observe idol worship. Allah Almighty sent him three Messengers whom he severely belied. The Messengers were:

Sadiq, Masduq da Shalom.

Sadiq, Masduq and Shalom.

A bayyane yake cewa su manzanni ne da Allah Maɗaukaki ya aiko. Qatadah ya yi iƙirarin cewa manzanni ne Yesu Kristi ya aika. Ibn Jarir ya riƙe irin wannan ra'ayi bayan Wahb, bayan Ibn Sulaiman, bayan Shu'aib Al-Jiba'i, wanda ya ƙara da cewa: sunayen waɗannan manzanni Shimon, Yunusa da Bulus, kuma garin ana kiransa Antakiya. Wannan ra'ayi ba shi da tushe, domin mutanen Antakiya sa'ad da suka karɓi uku daga cikin almajiran Yesu Kristi (Aminci ya tabbata a gare shi)

It is evidently apparent that they were Messengers sent by Allah the Almighty. Qatadah claimed them to be messengers sent by Jesus Christ. The same view was held by Ibn Jarir after Wahb after Ibn Sulaiman after Shu' aib Al- Jiba'i who added that: those messengers were called: Shimon, Jonah and Paul and the town was called Antioch. This view is groundless because the people of Antioch when received three of the disciples of Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him)

...ya zama farkon waɗanda suka yi imani da shi a wannan lokaci. Saboda haka, Antakiya na ɗaya daga cikin garuruwan farko huɗu da aka fara samun Fafaroma na Kirista a cikinsu.

-were the first to believe in him at that very time. Thereupon, Antioch was one of the first four towns in which there first existed Christian Patriarchs. These four towns were Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Rome. However, the people of these towns were not destroyed, whereas the people of the aforementioned town in the Qur'anic verses were totally annihilated, following the killing of their companion whom Allah sent to admonish them. Allah the Almighty says: {It was but one Saihah (shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead and destroyed)}. (Ya-Sin, 29) There is no contradiction between the two interpretations, if the case was that the three Messengers of Allah were sent to the earlier dwellers of Antioch and that they were belied, the matter which incurred complete destruction. Then, their land was re-inhabited and during the lifetime of Jesus (Peace be upon him) the new dwellers believed in his three messengers.

Ikirarin cewa labarin da aka ambata a cikin Alkur'ani Mai Girma shine labarin manzannin Isa ﷺ abu ne mai matukar ban mamaki kuma babu tushe a cikinsa.

The claim that the story mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an is that of the messengers of Jesus (Peace be upon him) is very absurd and groundless.

A bayyane yake, daga mahallin magana an nuna cewa su, Manzannin, Allah Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko su.

Obviously, the context shows that they, the Messengers were sent by Allah the Almighty.

Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa: {Kuma ka ba su misali} watau domin mutanenka, ya Muhammad ﷺ. {Labarin mazauna ƙauyen, lokacin da manzanni suka zo musu. Sa'ad da Muka aike musu da manzanni biyu, suka ƙaryata su duka biyun, sai Muka ƙarfafa su da na uku} watau Muka taimake su da wani manzo na uku, {sai suka ce:

Allah the Almighty says: {And put forward to them a similitude} i.e. for your people 0 Muhammad (Peace be upon him). {The (story of the) dwellers of the town, when there came Messengers to them. When We sent to them two Messengers, they belied them both, so We reinforced them with a third} i.e. We supported them with a third Messenger, {and they said:

Lalle mu an aiko muku ne a matsayin Manzanni}. Mutanen garin sun ce Manzannin mutane ne kawai, kuma sun yi watsi da ra'ayin cewa Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki zai iya aika mutane a matsayin ManzanninSa ga ɗan Adam.

Verily we have been sent to you as Messengers}. The people of the town said that the Messengers were only human beings and they set aside the idea that Allah Almighty might send human beings as His Messengers to mankind.

Manzannin sun tabbatar cewa Allah ya san cewa an aike su zuwa gare su, kuma idan suka yi ƙarya a kan Shi, tabbas zai ba su azaba mafi tsanani a cikin dukkan azabu. Suka ƙara da cewa: {Aikinmu shi ne kawai isar da saƙo a bayyane} watau abin da aka aike su da shi, kuma shiriya da ɓatarwa suna hannun Allah Maɗaukaki Shi kaɗai. {Suka ce: Mu, muna ganin wani mummunan alamu daga gare ku} watau daga abin da kuka kawo mana. {Idan ba ku daina ba, lallai za mu jajjefe ku} da munanan kalmomi da duwatsu kuma; {kuma azaba mai raɗaɗi za ta same ku daga gare mu} watau sun yi musu barazanar wulakanci mai cutarwa (munanan kalmomi) da kisa (jajjefewa har mutuwa). {Suka ce (Manzanni): Mummunan alamunku ya kasance tare da ku!} watau za su shafe ku da mummunan sakamako. {(Shin kuna kiransa "mummunan alama") saboda an yi muku gargaɗi?} watau saboda mun tunatar da ku da shiriya kuma mun kira ku zuwa gare ta, kuka yi mana barazanar kisa da wulakanci mai cutarwa. {A'a, amma ku mutane ne Musrifun} watau kun ƙetare dukkan iyaka ta hanyar aikata kowane irin zunubi, da kuma ta hanyar sabawa Allah.

The Messengers asserted that Allah knows that they have been sent to them and that if they lie to Him, He would certainly give them the severest of all punishment. They added: {our duty is only to convey plainly (the Message)} i.e. what they were sent with and that guidance and misleading are in the Hand of Allah the Almighty Alone. {They (people) said: For us, we see an evil omen from you} i.e. from what you have brought us. {If you cease not, we will surely stone you} with bad words and stones as well; {and a painful torment will touch you from us} i.e. they threatened them with afflicting humiliation (bad words) and killing (stoning to death). {They (Messengers) said: Your evil omens be with you!} i.e. they will badly affect you. {(Do you call it "evil omen ") because you are admonished?} i.e. because we reminded you with guidance and invited you to it you threatened us with killing and afflicting humiliation. {Nay, but you are a people Musrifun} i.e. you transgress all bounds by committing all kinds of sinful deeds, and by disobeying Allah.

Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa: {Sai ga wani mutum ya zo yana gudu daga iyakar gari} don ya goyi bayan Manzanni da kuma bayyana imaninsa a gare su. {Ya ce: Ya mutanena! Ku bi Manzanni. Ku bi waɗanda ba sa neman wani lada daga gare ku (domin kansu), kuma su ne shiryayyu} watau.

Allah the Almighty says: {And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town} to support the Messengers and to declare his faith in them. {He said: 0 my people! Obey the Messengers. Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided} i.e.

Suna kira ku zuwa ga gaskiya kaɗai, ba tare da neman albashi ko lada daga gare ku ba. Sannan ya kira su su bauta wa Allah Shi kaɗai, kuma kada su bauta wa wani baya gare Shi, wanda ba zai iya yin komai ba a rayuwar nan ta yanzu ko a Lahira. {Lalle ni, to, zan kasance cikin ɓata bayyananne} watau idan na bar bautar Allah na bauta wa wani abu baya gare Shi.

they invite you to the absolute truth without asking wages or reward for themselves of you. Then he invited them to worship Allah Alone, and not to worship other than Him that can do nothing in this present life or in the Hereafter. {Then verily, I should be in plain error} i.e. if I abandoned the worship of Allah and worshipped anything else besides Him.

Sai mutumin mai imani ya ce wa Manzanni uku: {Lalle ni na yi imani da Ubangijinku, saboda haka ku saurare ni!}, watau ya kamata ku saurari maganata, ku kuma shaida wannan a gaban Ubangijinku.

An ruwaito daga Ibn Ishaƙ bayan wasu daga cikin takwarorinsa, daga Abdullahi Ibn Mas'ud cewa mutane sun taka gawarsa har suka karya wuyansa.

Then, the believing man said to the three Messengers: {Verily! I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!}, i.e. you should listen to my statement and bear witness to this before your Lord. Or, 0 my people! Listen to my declaration of faith of these Messengers. Thereupon, the people killed him either by stoning him to death, or biting, or making one sudden assault against him. Narrated Ibn Ishaq after some of his counterparts on the authority of `Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud that the people stepped over his body till they broke his neck.

An haɗa daga Ath-Thawri, daga `Asim Al-Ahwal, daga Abu Majlaz, cewa ya ce: Sunan wannan mutumin mai imani shi ne Habib Ɗan Murriy, wanda aka ce ɗan kafinta ne, ko mai yin igiya, ko mai yin takalma. An kuma ce yana yin ibadunsa a wani kogo keɓaɓɓe. `Abdullahi Ɗan `Abbas (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ce: Shi ne Habib, kafinta, wanda cuta ta kuturta ta same shi. Yana bayar da sadaka, amma a ƙarshe mutanensa ne suka kashe shi.

Narrated Ath-Thawri after `Asim Al-Ahwal after Abu Majlaz his saying: The name of that believing man was Habib Ibn Murriy who was said to be a carpenter, or rope-maker, or shoe-maker. It is also said that he used to observe his religious rituals in an isolated cave. `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: He was Habib, the carpenter who was afflicted with leprosy. He was charitable, but killed at the end at the hands of his own people.

Sannan Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa: {Ka shiga Aljanna}, watau bayan da mutanensa suka kashe shi, Allah Maɗaukaki ya shigar da shi Aljanna. Lokacin da ya ga irin jin daɗi da farin cikin da ke cikinta, sai ya ce: {Da ma mutanena sun sani!

Ibn `Abbas (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ce: Yana shawartar mutanensa a lokacin rayuwarsa yana cewa: {Ya mutanena! Ku bi Manzannin}, kuma bayan mutuwarsa: {Da ma mutanena sun sani!

Haka kuma Qatadah ya ce: Mumini yana koyaushe yana ba da shawara saboda abin da yake gani na ladan da Allah ya bayar: {Da ma mutanena sun sani!

Allah bai yi wa waɗannan mutane gargaɗi ko ma zargi ba bayan sun kashe shi (mutumin mai imani): {Ihu ɗaya ne kawai, sai ga shi su duka sun yi shuru (matattu, halakakku)}. Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa: {Kuma ba Mu saukar musu da wata runduna daga sama bayansa ba, kuma ba ya zama dole a gare Mu mu saukar da ita ba}, watau ba ya zama wajibi ga Allah Maɗaukaki ya aika musu da runduna daga sama don ya ɗauki fansa ga Manzannin ba.

Then, Allah the Almighty says: {Enter Paradise} i.e. when he was killed by his people, Allah Almighty admitted him into Paradise. When he saw of the pleasures and joys therein, he said: {Would that my people knew? That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones!}, i.e. to believe in what I have believed in and thus gain what I have just obtained. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: He advised his people during his life saying: {O my people! Obey the Messengers}, and after his death {Would that my people knew? That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones!}. In addition, Qatadah said: The believer always gives counseling because of what he sees of the rewards granted by Allah {Would that my people knew? That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones!}, i.e. he wished that his people would know the honor Allah bestowed on him. Qatadah added: By Allah! Allah did not admonish or even blame those people after killing him (the believing man) {It was but one Saihah (shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}. Allah the Almighty says: {And We sent not against his people after him a host from the heaven, nor was it needful for Us to send (such a thing)}, i.e. it was not needful for Allah the Almighty to send against them a host from the heaven to avenge the Messengers.

Mujahid da Qatadah sun ce: Wannan yana nufin cewa Allah bai aika musu wani Saƙo ba. Ibn Jarir ya ce: Fassarar farko ta fi dacewa, domin Allah Madaukaki yana cewa bayan wannan: {ba kuwa mun bukaci mu aika (irin wannan abu) ba}, watau Allah bai bukaci ya aika irin wannan abu don azabtar da su ba, lokacin da suka ƙaryata Manzanninsa suka kashe bawansa mai ibada, {Ba abin da ya faru sai tsawa guda ɗaya, sai ga su (duka) sun yi shiru (matattu, halakakku)}.

Mujahid and Qatadah said: This means that Allah did not send them another Message. Ibn Jarir said: The first interpretation looks more proper because Allah the Almighty says after this: {nor was it needful for Us to send (such a thing)}, i.e. Allah was not in need to send such a thing to punish them when they belied His Messengers and killed His godly man, {It was but one Saihah (shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}.

Masu tafsiri sun ce: Allah Madaukakin Sarki ya aiko Jibrilu (Aminci ya tabbata a gare shi) wanda ya riƙe ƙofar garinsu sannan ya yi ihu guda ɗaya {Ihu guda ɗaya kawai, sai ga shi (duk) sun zama shiru, ba su motsi, matattu}, watau sun zama shiru, ba su motsi, sun mutu.

Interpreters said: Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel (Peace be upon him) who maintained a grasp on their town's gate and made a single shout {one Saihah (shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}, i.e. they turned to be silent, motionless and dead.

A ƙarshe, duk waɗannan suna nuna cewa garin da aka ambata a cikin ayoyin Alƙur'ani ba Antakiya ba ce, domin mutanen Antakiya sun yi imani da Allah kuma sun bi manzannin Ȋsa (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi). Haka kuma, an ce Antakiya ita ce gari na farko da ya bayyana imani da Ȋsa (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi).

Finally, all these indicate that the town mentioned in the Qur'anic verses was not Antioch because the people of Antioch believed in Allah and followed the messengers of Jesus (Peace be upon him). Moreover, Antioch was said to be the first town to declare faith in Jesus (Peace be upon him).
