Origin
وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَن كَانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصَارَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
And they say: "No one will enter Paradise except unless he is a Jew, or a Christian!" Such is their wishful thinking. Say, "Show us your proof, if you are truthful."[3][4]
