عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ كانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَلَمَّا جاءَهُمْ ما عَرَفُوا كَفَرُوا بِهِ قَالَ كَانَ قَوْمٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِيسَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ كَانُوا يَتَوَعَّدُونَ أَهْلَ الْأَصْنَامِ بِالنَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ يَقُولُونَ لَيَخْرُجَنَّ نَبِيٌّ فَلَيُكَسِّرَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُمْ وَ لَيَفْعَلَنَّ بِكُمْ [وَ لَيَفْعَلَنَّ] فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَفَرُوا بِهِ.
482. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said: ‘I asked Abu Abdullah  about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “[2:89] and before that they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but when there came to them (Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him”. He  said: ‘A people who were in between (the era of) Muhammad ﷺ and Isa , and they would inform the idol worshippers about the promised Prophet ﷺ, and they were saying, ‘When the Prophet ﷺ comes out, he ﷺ would break your idols, and will do this with you, and that with you’. However, when the Rasool Allah ﷺ came out, they denied him ﷺ’.
