The Companion Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ once asked Sayyidunā KaꜤb al-Aḥbār رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, “What qualities of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are mentioned in the Torah?”

He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ replied:

It is mentioned in the Torah that Muhammad b. ꜤAbdullāh will be born in Makkah and will emigrate to Ṭabah (i.e. al-Madinah al-Munawwarah). He will not speak of evil things and will not shout in the marketplace. He will not respond to evil with evil and will instead pardon. His Ummah will be Ḥammād (praising Allah Almighty in abundance). They will praise Allah Almighty during times of ease and difficulty. When climbing a high place they will recite the Takbīr (by saying اللہُ اَکْبَر). They will form rows in prayer.^[1]

One who breaks musical instruments

The Companion Sayyidunā Anas b. Mālik رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates:

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم once said, “Allah Almighty sent me as a guide and a mercy to all the worlds and sent me to break musical instruments.” Aws b. SamꜤān, who was listening to this, remarked, “By the One who sent you with the truth, this is indeed what I have read about you in the Torah.”^[2]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! Dear Islamic brothers! What can be said about the greatness of our beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Ponder! Look at the detail with which Allah Almighty described the beloved Prophet’s qualities, virtues, manners, and pure character in the previous heavenly books. Also reflect upon why the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was sent to this world. One of the reasons mentioned in the Torah was that he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was sent to destroy musical instruments.
