Question

What were the questions and answers that the Jews asked the Prophet (SAW)

Answer

The Jews have asked questions many times. On one occasion, the Ulama of the Jews advised the Kuffaar of Makkah to pose the following three questions: a) The reality of the soul, b) The incident of the people of cave (Ashaab-e-Kahf), and c) The king who ruled many places of the world.

Upon these questions, Surah Kahf (cave) was revealed.
