Were there any signs that the Prophet (pbuh) would come in the other divine books?

Dear Brother / Sister,
Like Bahira, the monk, many Christian and Jewish scholars had seen the attributes of the Messenger of Allah in their books and confessed the truth by saying,
“Yes, the attributes of Muhammad al-Arabi (pbuh) are written in our books.”
Despite this confession, many of them were deprived of being honored by Islam.
Among those who reached that unique bliss are the following people:
Abdullah Ibn Salam, Wahb Ibn Munabbih, Abi Yasir, Shamul, Asid and Sa’laba b. Saya, Ibn Bunyamin, Mukhayriq, Kabu’l-Ahbar, Daghatir, Ibn Natur, Jarud...1
The Quran mentions those righteous scholars of the People of the Book in the following verses:
"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant."
"And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses."2
