A group of Jewish scholars asked Ali, the first successor of
the Muslim Prophet, and his answers, which led to the conversion of Jews to Islam
A group of Jews attacked him during the caliphate of Umar and said to him: Are you the successor after your prophet
We came to ask you some questions. If you answer us, we will believe in Islam and acknowledge you. Omar said: Ask what you think
The elders of the Jews said: Tell us about the seven locks of heaven and its keys, and tell us about the grave that moved with its owner, tell us about the one who warned his people that he was neither of the jinn nor of man. Tell us about the place where the sun rose and did not return to it, tell us about the five that were not born in the womb, tell us about one, about two, about three, four, five, six, seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve?
Umar became silent and lowered his head and did not answer and apologized and said: Only God knows these issues, but the cousin of the Messenger of God, Ali, answers them. So he sent someone to look for him. When he was ready, Umar said to him: O Ali, the Jews asked me some questions, I did not answer them, they guaranteed that if we tell them the answer, they will believe in the Prophet (PBUH). So the Jews raised their issues and it is as follows:

Ali replied: That ant was during the time of Suleiman bin Dawood.
The Jewish elders asked: What was the position on which the sun shone once and did not shine on it again?
