False Story #1: The Satanic Verses

Click on the "Satanic Verses" there I have a Youtube video which completely refutes the
"Satanic Verses" story. The story is false because there is no reliable chain of
transmission for it (see Ibn Hazm, Al Fasl Filmalal Volume 2 pages 308-309, 311).
Islamic Scholars such as Imam Razi (in his Tafsir Volume 11 page135), Qazi Abu Bakr
Ibn al-`Arabi (Al-Shifa Volume 2 page 126), and Alusi (in his Tafsir Volume 13 page 99)
etc. have rejected The Satanic Verses story altogether.

False Story #2: The Killing of Abu Afak

This story states that the Prophet Muhammad (p) killed Abu Afak an old Jewish Man
who made fun of him. This story is found in Ibn Ishaq pages p.675. It is also found in
Ibn Sa'd's Volume 2, page 32. However this story is false because there is no chain of
transmission (Isnad) for this story. Another problem is that this story is mentioned by AlWaqidi's work (See Al-Waqidi Volume 1, pages 174-175.) However Al-Waqidi has
already been demonstrated to be a Liar and a not trustworthy source about the Prophet
Muhammad:

As al-Nasai said about Al-Waqidi (d. 303 A.H.):

The liars known for fabricating the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah are four. They are:
Arbaah b. Abi Yahya in Madinah, al-Waqidi in Baghdad, Muqatil b. Sulayman in
Khurasan and Muhammad bin Said in Syria. (Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani, Tahdhib al-Tahdhib,
vol.9 p.366 No.604)

False Story #3 The Killing of Asama bin Marwan

This story is found in Ibn Ishaq's biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
pages 675676.

Some classical and post-classical hadith scholars such as Al-Albani, Majdi, and Al-Jawzi
have rejected the story, with some declaring it as fabrication, pointing out in their
arguments that thechains of transmission by which the story was transmitted are all
weak. So this story is false.

On Details on why the Chain of Transmission is weak/Flawed see:

False Story #4 The Killing of the Meccan Ten

As for the Killing of the Meccan Ten I again quote the passage:
According to al-Waqidi: The Messenger of God commanded that six men and four
women should be killed. Of the men, [al-Waqidi] mentioned those whom Ibn Ishaq
named. The women he mentioned were Hind bt. Utbah b. Rabiah, who became a
Muslim and swore allegiance; Sarah, the mawla of Amr b. Hashim b. Abd al-Muttalib b.
Abd Manaf, who was killed on that day; Quraybah, who was killed on that day; and
Fartana, who lived until the caliphate of Uthman. (The History of Al-Tabari, Volume VIII,
pp. 179-181)
This narration is also found in the works of Ibn Sad. This narration is false because it
contains Al-Waqidi as a narrator. Al-Waqidi was a known liar according to many Islamic
scholars quoted below:

Abd Allah Ibn Ali al Madini and his father said: "Al-Waqidi has 20,000 Hadith I never
heard of." And then he said: "His narration shouldn't be used" and considered it weak.
Yahya Ibn Muaen said: "Al-Waqidi said 20,000 false hadith about the prophet."
Al-Shafi'i said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."
Ibn Hanbal said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."
Al-Bukhari said he didn't write a single letter by Al-Waqidi. (Siar Aalam al nublaa althagbi - biography of Al-Waqidi)
The following Muslim author writes:
As a report of history, this narration suffers from two fatally serious defects. The first is
the UNIVERSALLY RECOGNISED UNTRUSTWORTHINESS OF AL-WAQIDI. Details
of his unreliability as a narrator would probably fill several pages, but all of it may be
suitably condensed into a statement by Imam ash-Shafi'ee, who was his contemporary,
and who knew him personally. Ash-Shafi'ee has the following to say: "In Madeenah
there were seven people who used to forge chains of narration. One of them was alWaqidi."3 (Sources:
http://www.allaahuakbar.net/shiites/vicious_unscrupulous_propaganda_of_shiia-2.htm
and http://www.ansar.org/english/hasan.htm; bold emphasis ours)
Others say:

Al-Waqidi (130/747-207/822-23), who wrote over twenty works of an historical nature,

but only the Kitab al-Maghazi has survived as an independent work. His reputation is
marred by the fact that he relied upon story tellers; viz., those who embellished the
stories of others. Al-Waqidi did such embellish, such as by adding dates and other
details onto the account of Ibn Ishaq (at pages 25-29)
(http://jeromekahn123.tripod.com/enlightenment/id3.html)
Even the English translator of Ibn Sa'd's work had this to say about al-Waqidi:
... The chain of the narrators is not reliable because the person who narrated to Ibn Sa'd
was Waqidi WHO IS NOTORIOUS AS A NARRATOR OF FABRICATED hadithes. The
next one Ya'qub is unknown and 'Abd Allah Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman is not a Companion.
Consequently this narration is not trustworthy. (Ibn Sa'd's Kitab Al-Tabaqat Al-Kabir,
Volume I, English translation by S. Moinul Haq, M.A., PH.D assisted by H.K. Ghazanfar
M.A. [Kitab Bhavan Exporters & Importers, 1784 Kalan Mahal, Daryaganj, New Delhi,
110 002 India], p. 152, fn. 2; capital emphasis ours)
And the list goes on of those who called him a liar.
Al-Waqidi was also one of those that narrated the story of the Satanic Verses. The most
amazing part of this is that the authors' friend, MENJ has a response on the same web
site where this rebuttal appears from G.F. Haddad seeking to deny the historicity of the
Satanic Verses where he calls into question al-Waqidi's reliability! Here is what Haddad
says about al-Waqidi:

[(*) Muhammad ibn `Umar al-Waqidi (d. 207), Ahmad ibn Hanbal said of him: "He is A
LIAR." Al-Bukhari and Abu Hatim al-Razi said: "DISCARDED." Ibn `Adi said: "His
narrations ARE NOT RETAINED, AND THEIR BANE COMES FROM HIM." Ibn alMadini said: "HE FORGES HADITHS." Al-Dhahabi said: "CONSENSUS HAS SETTLED
OVER HIS DEBILITY." Mizan al-I`tidal (3:662-666 #7993).] (Source:
http://bismikaallahuma.org/Polemics/haddad.htm; capital emphasis ours)
So as we can see, this narration about the killing of the Meccan ten is unreliable
because it contains Al-Waqidi as a narrator. It is false.

False Story #6 Zaninab Bint Jash: The Truth Behind the Marriage
Update: I have responded to the story of Zaniab bint Jash in more detail here.
The story of Zaninab Bint Jash changing her clothes and Prophet Muhammad peeking
into her room, seeing her undress and falling in love with her beauty is false. This false
story is found in Al-Tabari (which is filled with fake narrations as I document here). The
story of Prophet Muhammad finds Zaniab Bint Jash changing her clothes and
fanscinated with her beauty gets a revelation from Allah telling him its okay to marry her
because Zaid is ordered to divorce her. The story goes like this:
The Messenger of God came to the house of Zayd b. Harithah. (Zayd was always called
Zayd b. Muhammad.) Perhaps the Messenger of God missed him at that moment, so as
to ask, "Where is Zayd?" He came to his residence to look for him but did not find him.
Zaynab bt. Jash, Zayd's wife, rose to meet him. Because she was dressed only in a
shift, the Messenger of God turned away from her. She said: "He is not here,
Messenger of God. Come in, you who are as dear to me as my father and mother!" The
Messenger of God refused to enter. Zaynab had dressed in haste when she was told
"the Messenger of God is at the door." She jumped up in haste and excited the
admiration of the Messenger of God, so that he turned away murmuring something that
could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly: "Glory be to God the
Almighty! Glory be to God, who causes the hearts to turn!"
When Zayd came home, his wife told him that the Messenger of God had come to his
house. Zayd said, "Why didn't you ask him to come in?" He replied, "I asked him, but he
refused." "Did you hear him say anything?" he asked. She replied, "As he turned away, I
heard him say: ?Glory be to God the Almighty! Glory be to God, who causes hearts to
turn!'"
So Zayd left, and having come to the Messenger of God, he said: "Messenger of God, I
have heard that you came to my house. Why didn't you go in, you who are as dear to

me as my father and mother? Messenger of God, perhaps Zaynab has excited your
admiration, and so I will separate myself from her." Zayd could find no possible way to
[approach] her after that day. He would come to the Messenger of God and tell him so,
but the Messenger of God would say to him, "Keep your wife." Zayd separated from her
and left her, and she became free.
While the Messenger of God was talking with 'A'isha, a fainting overcame him. When he
was released from it, he smiled and said, "Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good
news, saying that God has married her to me?" Then the Messenger of God recited:
"And when you said unto him on whom God has conferred favor and you have
conferred favor, Keep your wife to yourself .'"- and the entire passage.
According to 'A'isha, who said: "I became very uneasy because of what we heard about
her beauty and another thing, the greatest and loftiest of matters - what God had done
for her by giving her in marriage. I said she would boast of it over us. [1]
When reporting this story Tabari (the hadith narrator) failed to provide a chain of
narrators, is not a single chain of narrators at all, regarding this hadith (or
story). It just begins with, "It was said that...." This is not a trustworthy narration and in
fact is discarded by several Islamic scholars:
"So far as the fanciful stories and calumnies of the Orientalists are concerned, we can
only say that these are so absurd that any one having even a grain of sense in him
would unhesitatingly reject them as mere fabrications. William Muir and so may others
like him state that the Prophet, having seen Zaynab by change through a half-open
door, was fascinated by her beauty, and that Zayd having come to know of the leanings
of his master, divorced her and then she was marred by Muhammad. There is
absolutely no truth in these stories which have been fabricated in this
connection." [2]
Why didnt he marry her when she was single? Moreover the story of Prophet
Muhammad seeing Zanib undress and seeing her beauty, and making Zaid (his apopted
son) divorce her so he could marry her is apocryphal (fake) and not at all historical. The
real story behind why Prophet Muhammad married Zaniab was because her marriage
with Zaid was not working out because she was constantly complaining and nagging to
Zaid. Prophet Muhammad refused to have Zaid divocrce her and told Zaid to Fear God.
After the marriage proved to be fruitless and Zaniab continued over to over to nag and
complain, Zaid had enough and divorced her. Prophet Muhammad then decided to
marry her, not of lust, but out of mercy due to her financial status.
When Zanib divorced Zaid she had no home, and Prophet Muhammad offered her a
home by marrying her. As to Prophet Muhammad manipulating the divorce to satisty his
own whims, I think Paul Grieve (2006) writes it best when he writes:
There are also responses to be made to the accusation that Muhammad manipulated
the divorce to satisfy his own sexual whim. .. whom he (Muhammad) knew well

(Zaniab), and he could have married her at a much earlier time had he been so inclined.
Secondly, at the time of the marriage, after the Farewell Pilgrimage, Muhammad was in
poor health and close to death. [3]
Moreover Prophet Muhammad did not want to marry Zaniab as this hadith tells us:
Narrated Anas: Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The
Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife." Aisha said, "If
Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of the Quran) he would have concealed
this Verse." Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet and used to say,
"You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by
Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:-- ?But (O Muhammad)
you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the
people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha." (Bukhari,
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516)
So the marriage between Prophet Muhammad and Zaniab was divinely ordained in the
Quran and is in no way did Prophet Muhammad steal someones wife. Zaniab being a
divorcee was to be married to Prophet Muhammad whether he liked it or not because of
commandment of Allah by the Quran. Zaniab divorced Zaid because the marriage was
not working out, and Prophet Muhammad offered to marry her. This was backed by a
divine commandment by Allah (God) in the Quran. So all what happened is that Prophet
Muhammad married a divorcee. Thats it.

False Story # 7: The Talking Donkey, Yafoor

According to many Islamic scholars over the years, the story of Prophet Muhammad
having a donkey and speaking to it is a false story. The story first appeared in The book
"The Beginning and the End" written by Ibn Kathir, Chapter Six, Entry title: "The
Conversation of the Donkey". The story goes like this:

"When Allah opened Khaybar to his prophet Muhammad may Allahs prayers and
peace be upon him he (Muhammad) received as his share of the spoils four sheep,
four goats, ten pots of gold and silver and a black, haggard donkey.
The prophet may Allahs prayers and peace be upon him ADDRESSED the donkey
asking, What is your name? THE DONKEY ANSWERED, Yazid Ibn Shihab. Allah had
brought forth from my ancestry 60 donkeys, none of whom were ridden on except by
prophets. None of the descendants of my grandfather remain but me, and none of the
prophets remain but you and I expected you to ride me. Before you, I belonged to a
Jewish man, whom I caused to stumble and fall frequently so he used to kick my
stomach and beat my back.
The prophet may Allahs prayers and peace be upon him said to him, I will call you
Yafoor, Oh Yafoor. Then Yafoor REPLIED, I obey. The prophet then asked, Do you
desire females? The donkey replied, NO!
So the prophet used to ride the donkey to complete his business and if the prophet
dismounted from him he would send the donkey to the house of the person he wanted
to visit and Yafoor would knock at the door with his head. When the owner of the house
would answer the door, the donkey would signal to that person to go see the prophet.
When the prophet died, the donkey went to a well belonging to Abu Al-Haytham Ibn AlTahyan and threw himself in the well out of sadness for the prophets death, making it
his grave."
In regards to the story of the speaking donkey, please refer to the following sources that
speak of its fabrication:
Ibn Hibban states that there is no foundation for this narration in Al Majrooheen,
Volume 2, page 328
Al Dhahabi states that this narration is fabricated in Mizan al-Itidal Volume 4,
page 34
Sheikh Albany states that this narration is fabricated in Silsilatil Ahaadeeth Al
Da'eefa, Hadith no. 5405
Ibn Al Jawzi asked Allah to curse the individual who fabricated this narration. See
Mizan al-Itidal and Lisaan Al Mizan [1]

False Story # 8 The Deer Story

As for the Speaking Deer story found in "The Beginning and the End" written by Ibn
Kathir, Chapter Six, Entry title: "The Conversation of the Deer", it again is a fabricated
story. The story is bascially a deer talks to Prophet Muhammad and tells him that she
wants to feed her young and then she would return to her captors. She keeps

her promise, and the Arabs who captured her let her go because they heard her talking
to the Prophet. It's a nice story, I remember my Mom told me it a while
ago. However its been deemed weak or fabricated.
In regards to the story of the speaking deer, please refer to the following sources that
speak of its weakness:
Al Bayhaqi states that it is weak in Dalail Al Nubuwwah, Volume 6, page 35
Al Dhahabi in Mizan al-Itidal, Volume, page 456 states that it is fabricated.
Ibn Kathir criticizes the matn (content) and isnad (chain of transmission) in
Tuhfatil Taalib, page 158
Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani states that this narration is rare in Muwaafaqatil Khabar Al
Khabar, Volume 1, page 246.
Al Suyuti in his Al Khasaais Al Kubra, Volume 2, page 61 [2]

False Story #9 The Prophet Said the Torah was from God.
This isn't much of story, rather its a hadith. Bascially the hadith in Abu Dawud Book 38,
Number 4434 shows that Muhammad respected the Torah and thus acknowledged its
sanctity. This shows that Muhammad believed that the Torah at his time was not
textually corrupted.
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar: A group of Jews came and invited the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) to Quff. So he visited them in their school.
They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed fornication with a woman; so
pronounce judgment upon them. They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed
fornication with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion
for the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It
was then brought. He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him and placed the
Torah on it saying: I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee.He then said: Bring
me one who is learned among you. Then a young man was brought. The transmitter
then mentioned the rest of the tradition of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik
from Nafi'(No. 4431). (Dawud Book 38, Number 4434)

This report is considered weak because one of its reporters is Hisham ibn Sa'd whose
narratives are disturbed and corrupted according to many hadith critics like Ibn Hanbal,
Ibn Ma'een, Abu Hatem, al-Nisa'ee, Ibn Sa'd, Ibn 'Adii, al-Madini, al-Hakim, al-'Aqili, Ibn
Habban and others.
This is the reason why Ibn Hazm notes:
As for the report in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) took the Torah and said: "I
believe in thee", it is a fabricated false report that did not reach us with proper chain of
transmission (Ibn Hazm, Al-Fisal fe al-Milal wa al-Ahwaa wa al-Nihal, Volume 1, p. 237)
It is also worthy to note that this particular hadith has been reported through multiple
chains of transmission; however, no one has ever mentioned the incident of the Prophet
(saws) praising the Torah except in the report of Hisham ibn Sa'd from Zaid ibn Aslam.

False Story #10 Prophet Muhammad killed 900 Jews from the Tribe of Qurayza
Other Muslim apologists have already responded to the Banu Qurayza
story here and here. However this is my breif response to it.
This along with the Talking Donkey story is probably the most ridicolous story I have
ever heard about Prophet Muhammad. It is alleged that the Prophet Muhammad
ordered the killing of 400 to 900 Jews from a tribe in Madinah. However this is false,
there is no way that many people were killed in Madinah. It has been suggested
that this story is a later invention and that the source of this story has sources in Jewish
Traditions.
The story is found in Ibn Ishaq's sira (Biography) of Prophet Muhammad. Again I
document the problems with Ibn Ishaq here. Ibn Ishaq died around 151 A.H. (The
Islamic
calender). Ibn Ishaq died around 145 years after the alleged event. Critics of Islam and
Oreintal (White/European People) Historians constatnly rely soley on Ibn Ishaq
without bothering to check his uncertain list of authorities or whether Ibn Ishaq is relibale
or not. Ibn Hajar [2] states that this story is an odd tale [1]. And we've already
seen that Imam Malik had called Ibn Ishaq a "liar" several times.
The story opens with a description of the effort of named Jewish leaders to organize
against the Muslims an alliance of the hostile forces. The leaders named included three
from the Banu al-Nadir and two of the tribe of Wa'il, another Jewish tribe; together with
other Jewish fellow-tribesmen unnamed. Having persuaded the neighbouring Bedouin
tribes of Ghatafan, Murra, Fazara, Sulaym, and Ashja' to take up arms, they now
proceeded to Mecca where they succeeded in persuading the Quraysh. Having
gathered together a besieging force, one of the Nadir leaders, Huyayy b. Akhtab, in
effect forced himself on the third Jewish tribe still in Medina, the Banu Qurayza, and,

against the better judgement of their leader, Ka'b b. Asad, he persuaded them to break
faith with the Prophet in the hope, presented as a certainty, that the Muslims would not
stand up to the combined attacking forces and that Qurayza and the other Jews would
be restored to independent supremacy. The siege of Medina failed and the Jewish tribes
suffered for their part in the whole operation.
But the important thing to note is that Prophet Muhammad never ordered the execution
of the Bani Qurayza. Rather it was a man named Sad bin Muadh who
ordered that the warriors of Bani Qurayza should be killed and their women and children
should be taken as slaves. This is found in the books of Bukhari (authentic
sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad):
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sad's
judgment, Allah's Apostle sent for Sad who was near to him. Sad came, riding a donkey
and when he came near, Allah's Apostle said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader."
Then Sad came and sat beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people are
ready to accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment that their warriors
should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The
Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the
judgment of the King Allah." (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 280)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Some people (i.e. the Jews of Bani bin Quraiza) agreed to
accept the verdict of Sad bin Muadh so the Prophet sent for him (i.e. Sad bin Muadh).
He came riding a donkey, and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet said, "Get
up for the best amongst you." or said, "Get up for your chief." Then the Prophet said, "O
Sad! These people have agreed to accept your verdict."Sad said, "I judge that their
warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as
captives." The Prophet said, "You have given a judgment similar to Allah's Judgment
(or the King's judgment)." (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 148)
So we can see it was not Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who issued the
order that their men should be killed and their women and children made
into slaves; it was Saad bin Muadh whom the Jews selected to judge their fate.
Scholars and historians usually either accept all of the Story or flatout reject the entire
thing as a fabrication. We've seem that Ibn Ishaq used to take stories about the Prophet
from the Jews of Madinah. Both Imam Malik and Ibn Hajar were right in rejecting Ibn
Ishaq as an authentic source for the Prophet's life.

[1] Tahdhib al-tahdhib, IX, 45. See also `Uyun al-athar, I, 17, where the author uses the
same words, without giving a reference, in his introduction on the veracity of Ibn Ishaq
and the criteria he applied.

[2] Ibn Hajar was a Shalifi and a very respected Hadith Scholar. He lived from 1372 C.E.
to 1448 C.E.
False Story # 11 Prophet Muhammad ordering the killing of any Jew and the death
of Ibn Sunaya
The 11th false story we can turn our attention towards is Prophet Muhammad allegedly
ordering the killing of Jewsih men and a man named Muhayyisah killing a Jewish
man because of what he heard the Prophet say. The story is found in the hadith
collection of Dawud:
Narrated Muhayyisah: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you gain a
victory over the men of Jews, kill them. So Muhayyisah jumped over Shubaybah, a man
of the Jewish merchants. He had close relations with them. He then killed him. At that
time Huwayyisah (brother of Muhayyisah) had not embraced Islam. He was older than
Muhayyisah. When he killed him, Huwayyisah beat him and said: O enemy of Allah, I
swear by Allah, you have a good deal of fat in your belly from his property.
(Abu Dawud Book 19, Number 2996)
Muslim apologist Hesheem already refuted this story:
Despite the fact that this story is mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawood, it is weak and
unreliable. Concerning isnad (i.e. chain of reporters), this Hadith was narrated by
servant of Zaid Ibn Thabet on authority of daughter of Muhayyisah. Servant of Zaid is
Muhammad Ibn Ibi Muhammad and he is unreliable, and daughter of Muhayyisah is
unknown. Concerning matn (i.e. text), it says that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) ordered to kill all Jews which is illogical even if Christian missionaries want to
believe it! Because the Jews had a treaty with Muslims and there was no evidence that
Muslims indulged in killing any Jew other than this Hadith. Moreover, Ibn Hesham himelf
who edited the work of Ibn Ishaq suggests that the incident of Huwayyisah and
Muhayyisah occurred during slaughter of Bani-Qurayzah, not after murder of Ka'b
Needless to say, there is no such thing as "Kill any Jew that come under your power".
(Source) As-Sirat-un-Nabawiyyah, Volume 3, page 18
False Story #12 Other false killing stories in Ibn Ishaq's sira
I already answered and refuted many of these killing stories found in Ibn Ishaq here.
False Story #13 Prophet Muhammad said that Adam was 90 feet tall and he was
created in Allah's image
There are some hadith in Bukhari, Muslim and Ahmad that say that Adam was orginally
90 feet tall in Heaven, and when he was sent to earth he shrunk in height.
However it should be noted that Imam Malik (a hadith scholar) denied the authencity of
this hadith. Also another similar hadith is found in Muslim (see Muslim Book 039,

Number 6707) where it was said that Prophet Muhammad said that Allah created
certain things on certain days of the week. However that hadith has been deemed weak
by Imam Muslim.
False Story #14 Prophet Muhammad said that when a boy grows up he'll see
judgement day
According to a hadith from Muslim, Prophet Muhammad said that when a boy grows up
he'll see judgement day. The hadith goes like this:
Anas reported that a person asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as to
when the Last Hour would come. He had in his presence a young boy of the Ansar who
was called Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon bion) said: If this young
boy lives. he may not grow very old till (he would see) the Last Hour coming to you.
(Muslim Book 041, Number 7051)
, , ) ( , :
.

, , .

Al Qadi said: All of these narrations have one meaning, and the meaning of "Your Last
Hour" means their death. And it means the death of that century, or of those whom he is
speaking to.

I (Nawawi) say: and it is possible that he (the Prophet) knew that the boy will not grow
old in age. (Imam Nawawi, Sharh Saheeh Muslim, Kitab: Al Fitan ws Ashraat Al Saa'a,
Bab: Qarb Al Saa'a, Commentary on Hadith no. 5248, Source)

The translators of Saheeh Muslim correctly translated ( which means Your Hour) in
narration number 7050.

Now when we bring all the narrations together we know that the Prophet (peace be
upon him) was speaking about the hour of the death of the individuals he was speaking

to. In Islam we consider the Last Hour of someone to be his death as brother Shamul
Hameed states:

Judgment day, however is something, which we will all come to know potentially very
soon. As soon as you die, the Day of Judgment starts for you, and you could die at any
moment. (Source)

That is what the Prophet (peace be upon him) was saying.

Also, as Imam Nawawi mentioned it is possible that this specific individual that the
Prophet (peace be upon him) was speaking about was someone special and no
ordinary human being who might live longer than normal humans.
False Story #15 Prophet Muhammad said a Man will not be asked why he beat his
wife
Umar reported the prophet as saying: "A man will not be asked as to why he beat his
wife".(Abu Dawud # 2142)
This hadith is weak due to a weak narrator by the name of Daawood ibn Abdullah al
Awdi.
See Sheikh Albani's detailed discussion in Erwaa Al Ghaleel, Hadeeth no. 2034. So we
can
toss this hadith out the window.
False Story #16 Prophet Muhammad forced Divorces
The hadith in question is this:
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, my master married me to his slave woman, and now he wants to
separate me and her.' The Messenger of Allah ascended the pulpit and said: 'O people,
what is the matter with one of you who marries his slave to his slave woman, then wants
to separate them? Divorce belongs to the one who takes hold of the calf (i.e., her
husband).'" (Da'if)( From English Translation of Sunan Ibn Majah - Compiled by Imam
Muhammad Bin Yazeed Ibn Majah Al-Qazwini, From Hadith No. 1783 to 2718, Ahadith
edited and referenced by Hafiz Abu Tahir Zubair 'Ali Za'i, translated by Nasiruddin alKhattab (Canada), final review by Abu Khaliyl (USA), [Darussalam Publications and
Distributors, First Edition: June 2007], Volume 3, The Chapters on Divorce, pp. 193-194;

Sheikh Albani in his Erwaa Al Ghaleel, hadith no. 2041 shows that all narrations
regarding this hadith contain weaknesses in them.

False Story #17 Prophet Muhammad and snakes

The Hadith in Question is this:
Narrated AbdurRahman Ibn AbuLayla: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was
asked about the house-snakes. He said: When you see one of them in your dwelling,
say: I adjure you by the covenant which Noah made with you, and I adjure you by the
covenant which Solomon made with you not to harm us. Then if they come back, kill
them. (Abu Dawud Book 41, Number 5240)
This hadeeth is weak (see Shaykh Al Albani's Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith no. 5260)

False Story #18 Prophet Muhammad on the heavens

The Hadith in Question is this:
Narrated Al-Abbas ibn AbdulMuttalib:
I was sitting in al-Batha with a company among whom the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) was sitting, when a cloud passed above them.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) looked at it and said: What do you call this?
They said: Sahab.
He said: And muzn? They said: And muzn. He said: And anan? They said: And anan.
AbuDawud said: I am not quite confident about the word anan. He asked: Do you know
the distance between Heaven and Earth? They replied: We do not know. He then said:
The distance between them is seventy-one, seventy-two, or seventy-three years. The
heaven which is above it is at a similar distance (going on till he counted seven
heavens). Above the seventh heaven there is a sea, the distance between whose
surface and bottom is like that between one heaven and the next. Above that there ARE
EIGHT MOUNTAIN GOATS the distance between whose hoofs and haunches is like the
distance between one heaven and the next. Then Allah, the Blessed and the Exalted, is
above that. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 40, Number 4705)
Sheikh Albani declared this hadeeth to be weak in Sunan Abu Dawud, hadith no. 4723.
So we can throw this hadith out the window.

False Story #19 An old Woman being split in two during a battle

In this year a raiding party led by Zaid b. Harithah set out against Umm Qirfah in the
month of Ramadan. During it, Umm Qirfah (Fatimah bt. Rabi'ah b. Badr) suffered a cruel
death. He tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split
her in two. She was a very old woman.
Her story is as follows. According to Ibn Humayd- Salamah- Ibn Ishaq- 'Abdallah b. Abi
Bakr, who said: The Messenger of God sent Zayd b. Harithah to Wadi al-Qura, where
he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his companions were killed there, and Zayd
was carried away wounded from among the slain. One of those killed was Ward b. 'Amr,
one of the Banu Badr [b. Fazarah]. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing [to
cleanse him] from impurity should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After
he recovered from his wounds, the Messenger of God sent him with an army against
the Banu Fazarah. He met them in Wadi al-Qura and inflicted casualties on them. Qays
b. al-Musahhar al-Ya'muri killed Mas'adah b. Hakamah b. Malik b. Badr and took Umm
Qirfah prisoner. (Her name was Fatimah bt. Rabi'ah b. Badr. She was married to Malik
b. Hudhayfah b. Badr. SHE WAS A VERY OLD WOMAN.) He also took one of Umm
Qirfah's daughters and 'Abdallah b. Mas'adah prisoner. Zayd b. Harithah ordered Qays
to kill Umm Qirfah, AND HE KILLED HER CRUELLY. He tied each of her legs with a
rope and tied the ropes to two camels and they split her in two ... (The History of AlTabari: The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein [State University of New
York Press, Albany 1997], Volume VIII, pp. 95-96; bold and capital emphasis ours)
However, this narration is weak because it contains Ibn Humayd. There are other
versions of this story but they contain broken and weak chains.

False Story #20 Prophet Muhammad chaning the Qibla

According to Yunus b. 'Abd al-A'la - Ibn Wahb - Ibn Zayd: The Prophet turned towards
Jerusalem for sixteen months, and then it reached his ears that the Jews were saying,
"By God, Muhammad and his companions did not know where their Qiblah was until we
directed them." This displeased the Prophet and he raised his face toward Heaven, and
God said, "We have seen the turning of your face to Heaven." (The History of Al-Tabari:
The Foundation of the Community, translated by M. V. McDonald, annotated by W.
Montgomery Watt [State University of New York Press (SUNY), Albany 1987], Volume
VII, pp. 24-25; bold emphasis ours)
This narration contains Ibn Zayd whom scholars have agreed to be weak and he is most
likely Abdulrahman bin Zayd since he narrates Tafseer as Al-Dhahabi said. He is weak
according to Imam Ahmad, Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani,al-Dhahabi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Ma'een,
al-Nasaie, Abu Hatim and many others. (See Tahdheeb al-Tahdheeb, Volume 6, no.178)

False Story #21 Prophet Muhammad killed Safiyyahs Father, Brother and
Husband
Ibn ?Umar [al-Waqidi] - Kathir b. Zayd - al-Walid b. Rabah - Abu Hurayrah: While the
Prophet was lying with Safiyyah Abu Ayyub stayed the night at his door. When he saw
the Prophet in the morning he said "God is the Greatest." He had a sword with him; he
said to the Prophet, "O Messenger of God, this young woman had just been married,
and you killed her father, her brother and her husband, so I did not trust her (not to
harm) you." The Prophet laughed and said "Good". (The History of al-Tabari, Volume
XXXIX (39), p. 185; bold and underline emphasis ours)
This narration contains the infamous Al Waqidi, who has been condemned.
Interestingly, the authors didn't refer to the more popular name of the narrator. They
mention the name "Muhammad Ibn ?Umar" but didn't indicate to the reader that this
man is more popularly known as al-Waqidi. What is the Muslim verdict about this man?
Abd Allah Ibn Ali al Madini and his father said: "Al-Waqidi has 20,000 Hadith I never
heard of." And then he said: "His narration shouldn't be used" and considered it weak.
Yahya Ibn Muaen said: "Al-Waqidi said 20,000 false hadith about the prophet."
Al-Shafi'i said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."
Ibn Hanbal said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."
Al-Bukhari said he didn't write a single letter by Al-Waqidi. (Siar Aalam al nublaa althagbi - biography of Al-Waqidi)
The following Muslim author writes:
As a report of history, this narration suffers from two fatally serious defects. The first is
the UNIVERSALLY RECOGNISED UNTRUSTWORTHINESS OF AL-WAQIDI. Details
of his unreliability as a narrator would probably fill several pages, but all of it may be
suitably condensed into a statement by Imam ash-Shafi'ee, who was his contemporary,
and who knew him personally. Ash-Shafi'ee has the following to say: "In Madeenah
there were seven people who used to forge chains of narration. One of them was alWaqidi."3 (Sources:
http://www.allaahuakbar.net/shiites/vicious_unscrupulous_propaganda_of_shiia-2.htm
and http://www.ansar.org/english/hasan.htm; bold emphasis ours)
Others say:
Al-Waqidi (130/747-207/822-23), who wrote over twenty works of an historical nature,
but only the Kitab al-Maghazi has survived as an independent work. His reputation is

marred by the fact that he relied upon story tellers; viz., those who embellished the
stories of others. Al-Waqidi did such embellish, such as by adding dates and other
details onto the account of Ibn Ishaq (at pages 25-29)
(http://jeromekahn123.tripod.com/enlightenment/id3.html)
Even the English translator of Ibn Sa'd's work had this to say about al-Waqidi:
... The chain of the narrators is not reliable because the person who narrated to Ibn Sa'd
was Waqidi WHO IS NOTORIOUS AS A NARRATOR OF FABRICATED hadithes. The
next one Ya'qub is unknown and 'Abd Allah Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman is not a Companion.
Consequently this narration is not trustworthy. (Ibn Sa'd's Kitab Al-Tabaqat Al-Kabir,
Volume I, English translation by S. Moinul Haq, M.A., PH.D assisted by H.K. Ghazanfar
M.A. [Kitab Bhavan Exporters & Importers, 1784 Kalan Mahal, Daryaganj, New Delhi,
110 002 India], p. 152, fn. 2; capital emphasis ours)
And the list goes on of those who called him a liar.
[(*) Muhammad ibn `Umar al-Waqidi (d. 207), Ahmad ibn Hanbal said of him: "He is A
LIAR." Al-Bukhari and Abu Hatim al-Razi said: "DISCARDED." Ibn `Adi said: "His
narrations ARE NOT RETAINED, AND THEIR BANE COMES FROM HIM." Ibn alMadini said: "HE FORGES HADITHS." Al-Dhahabi said: "CONSENSUS HAS SETTLED
OVER HIS DEBILITY." Mizan al-I`tidal (3:662-666 #7993).]
So as we can see, this narration/story is unreliable and false. Islamophobes should stop
using it.
False Story #22 Prophet Muhammad killed Mulaykahs father
According to al-Waqidi: In this year the Messenger of God married Mulaykah bt. Dawud
al-Laythiyyah. One of the Prophet's wives came to Mulaykah and said to her, "Are you
not ashamed to marry a man who killed your father?" She therefore "took refuge [in
God]" from him. She was beautiful and young. The Messenger of God separated from
her. He had killed her father the day of the conquest of Mecca. (The History of al-Tabari:
The Victory of Islam, Translated by Michael Fishbein, Volume VIII (8), p. 187; underline
emphasis ours)
This narration is false because again it contains Al-Waqidi a known liar.
Abd Allah Ibn Ali al Madini and his father said: "Al-Waqidi has 20,000 Hadith I never
heard of." And then he said: "His narration shouldn't be used" and considered it weak.
Yahya Ibn Muaen said: "Al-Waqidi said 20,000 false hadith about the prophet."
Al-Shafi'i said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."
Ibn Hanbal said, "Al-Waqidi is a liar."

Al-Bukhari said he didn't write a single letter by Al-Waqidi. (Siar Aalam al nublaa althagbi - biography of Al-Waqidi)

The following Muslim author writes:

And the list goes on of those who called him a liar.
Al-Waqidi was also one of those that narrated the story of the Satanic Verses. The most
amazing part of this is that the authors' friend, MENJ has a response on the same web
site where this rebuttal appears from G.F. Haddad seeking to deny the historicity of the
Satanic Verses where he calls into question al-Waqidi's reliability! Here is what Haddad
says about al-Waqidi:
[(*) Muhammad ibn `Umar al-Waqidi (d. 207), Ahmad ibn Hanbal said of him: "He is A
LIAR." Al-Bukhari and Abu Hatim al-Razi said: "DISCARDED." Ibn `Adi said: "His

So as we can see, again this narration/story is unreliable and false because Al-Waqidi
related it.

False Story #23 Prophet Muhammad had more than 9 wives/ he had about 15 -2230 wives/conubines/women
It is agreed according to authentic sources that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) only had nine to 11 wives. All these other wives/conbuines/ women come
from The History Al-Tabari Volumes 7, 8, 9, 39 which are all inauthentic sources of
information in regards to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Al-Tabari is not a reliable
source of information when it comes to learning about Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him).
Most of these extra 15 wives and concubines which the Prophet (pbuh) allegedly had
comes from The History of al-Tabari vol.9 p.126-241. There are even wives the Prophet
had then divorced allegedly (Al-Tabari Volume 39 Pages 166 to 188)
None of these wives/concubines are mentioned in the canonical hadith. I have already
shown that Al-Tabari warns people that his book is filled with weak and accurate
information about the Prophet (See The History of Al-Tabari Volume 1 page 13) . Other
Islamic scholars have refuted Al-Tabaris reliability (Such as Ibn Kathir, etc).
As Bassam Zawadi states about Al-Tabari:
First of all, early historians such as Imam Tabari would admit to his audience that the
book that he has written is filled with weak narrations:
Let him who examines this book of mine know that I have relied, as regards everything I
mention therein which I stipulate to be described by me, solely upon what has been
transmitted to me by way of reports which I cite therein and traditions which I ascribe to
their narrators, to the exclusion of what may be apprehended by rational argument or
deduced by the human mind, except in very few cases. This is because knowledge of
the reports of men of the past and of contemporaneous views of men of the present do
not reach the one who has not witnessed them nor lived in their times except through
the accounts of reporters and the transmission of transmitters, to the exclusion of
rational deduction and mental inference. Hence, if I mention in this book a report about
some men of the past, which the reader of listener finds objectionable or worthy of
censure because he can see no aspect of truth nor any factual substance therein, let
him know that this is not to be attributed to us but to those who transmitted it to us and
we have merely passed this on as it has been passed on to us. (Abu Ja`far Muhammad
bin Jarir al-Tabari, Tarikh al-Tabari: Tarikh al-Umam wal-Muluk, 1997, Volume I, Dar alKutub al-'Ilmiyyah, Beirut (Lebanon), p. 13.)
Notice how Imam Tabari is saying that his task is only to collect all the narrations
transmitted down to him and record it in his book. He is not attempting to distinguish the
true narrations from the false ones. Rather, he is leaving it up to the qualified reader to
do research and find out which narrations are true or not. That is why it is not advised

for laymen such as Sam Shamoun and David Wood to go ahead and read a book such
as Tabari's Taarikh, for they have no knowledge of how to distinguish the true narrations
from the false ones.
Secondly, it might have been the intention of some of the early Muslims to collect
authentic stories, but were not successful in doing so because they didn't utilize the
proper methodology of investigating their sources. Thus, they would unintentionally
include these forgeries into their books. (Source)

According to authentic reports Prophet Muhammad's wives were the eleven (See
Bukhari Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268). When the Prophet (peace be upon him) died
he had nine wives (al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6) and left no slave women
behind (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 51, Number 2)
The Prophet DID not have concubines as this is from WEAK sources and not found in
the hadith. Also see Al Azhar scholar Sheikh Abdul Majid Subh's writings. )
THERE IS ABSOULTELY NO FULLY CONNECTED CHAINS OF TRANSMISSION FOR
THESE STORIES IN ZAD AL MA'AD'S BOOKS OR AL-TABARIS BOOKS.

For Polygamy being allowed in the Bible, Judaism and Christianity and many men in
Arabia having more than one wife lease see this.
For all the wives of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) see Bukhari vol.1 Book 5
ch.25 no.282 p.172-173.
So we can see the Prophet Muhammad (p) had only 9-11 wives. All these other 15-22
wives come from Al-Tabari which is not an authentic source of information.
These narrations from Al-Tabari and Zad Al Mad about the extra/other wives of the
Prophet Muhammad are all weak--- Muslim scholars do not accept them.
They said it was from a book by Ibn Qayyim and taken from musnad Ahmed. It was'nt in
any stronger collection. I have to check. from Zad al-Ma'ad" by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya
Part 1, Pages 114-116. This source however is not authentic. It was'nt in any stronger
collection. Thus is not a reliable source of hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet).
Moreover the Prophet (peace be upon) having slaves and slave women contradicts
Authentic hadith from Bukhari which says when the Prophet died he left behind nothing:
Narrated 'Amir bin Al-Harith: Allah's Apostle (Prophet Muhammad) did not leave a Dinar
or a Dirham or a male or a female slave. He left only his white mule on which he used to
ride, and his weapons, and a piece of land which he gave in charity for the needy
travelers. (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 738)

Narrated Amr bin Al-Harith: (The brother of the wife of Allah's Apostle. Juwaira bint AlHarith) When Allah's Apostle died, he did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (i.e. money), a
slave or a slave woman or anything else except his white mule, his arms and a piece of
land which he had given in charity . (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 51, Number 2)
These narrations from Al-Tabari about the extra/other wives of the Prophet
Muhammad are all weak--- Muslim scholars do not accept them. So it's safe to say
the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him had only wives. The other sources that say
otherwise are not authentic according to Muslim scholars.

False Stories #24 Prophet Muhammad ordered the assassinations of People

according to Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari
Critics of Islam call Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) a murderer referring to
various stories in Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari.
These assassination murder stories are found in Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah (The
Life of Muhammad), Translated by Alfred Guillaume, (New York: Oxford University
Press, 1980), pages 164, 306, 308, p. 366, p. 368-369, 372-373, 461, 464, 674-675 p.
551 Al-Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari: Volume 8, Michael Fishbein, tr. (Albany: State
University of New York Press, 1997) page 179-181.
All these assassination/ Murdered by Muhammad stories are false. None of them have
a reliable chain of transmission to them.
It is interesting to note that many of these so called "assassinations" reported in Ibn
Ishaq's or Tabari's works all have something in common, and that is that because the
person who was assassinated insulted the Holy Prophet (S), were assassinated.
However, the scholars have looked at reports like this and have concluded:
All such reports, as ascribe the execution of others merely to their having harrased the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the past, have Ibn Ishaq as the
last narrator at the top; and in the terminology of the traditionalists such reports are
called Mursal and are not to be relied on."
(Source: Sirat-Un-Nabi, by Allama Shibli Nu'Mani, rendered into English by M. Tayyib
Bakhsh Budayuni, Kazi Publications Lahore, Vol. II, p. 199-203, bold and underlined
emphasis ours)
Ibn Ishaq has been condemned by our great Islamic Scholars for being careless in
compiling his information:
Shaykh ibn Taymiyyah said:

Allah has provided evidence (i.e. Isnad) establishing the authenticity or lack thereof of
the narrations that are necessary in matters of the religion. It is well known that most of
what was reported in aspects of Tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) is similar to
narrations reporting Maghazi (or Seerah) and battles, promoting Imam Ahmad to state
that three matters do not have Isnad: Tafsir, Mala'him (i.e. great battles), and Maghazi.
This is because most of their narrations are of the Maraseel (plural for Mursal) type,
such as narrations reported by Urwah Ibn az-Zubair, ash-Sha'bi, az-Zuhri, Musa Ibn
Uqbah andIbn Ishaq." (Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmu' Al Fataawa, Volume, 13, page
345)

So none of these assassination stories found in Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari are reliable.
(For more on the unreliability of Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari again see this).

False Story/Misconception #25 Prophet Muhammad ordered the Killing of 600-900

Banu Qurazah men and the enslavement of their women and children.

This is just a flat out lie. Only the most ignorant of Islamic critics say this (and believe
me there are many of them in the world)
The Prophet never ordered the killing of the Banu Qurazah tribe. It was a man named
Sad ibn Muad. For more on this incident and the context of the Banu Qurazah crimes
against the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims see this. Also see this and this and
this.
For Prophet Muhammad the Jewish Tribes of Medinah see this.

False Story #26 Prophet Muhammad hit Aisha on the Chest

The Hadith in Question is this:
Muhammad b. Qais said (to the people): Should I not narrate to you (a hadith of the
Holy Prophet) on my authority and on the authority of my mother? We thought that he
meant the mother who had given him birth. He (Muhammad b. Qais) then reported that
it was 'A'isha who had narrated this: Should I not narrate to you about myself and about
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? We said: Yes. She said: When it was
my turn for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to spend the night with me, he
turned his side, put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet,
and spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought that I
had gone to sleep. He took hold of his mantle slowly and put on the shoes slowly, and
opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly. I covered my head, put on my
veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went out following his steps till he

reached Baqi'. He stood there and he stood for a long time. He then lifted his hands
three times, and then returned and I also returned. He hastened his steps and I also
hastened my steps. He ran and I too ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to
the house). I, however, preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in
the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O 'A'isha, that
you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the
Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be
ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of
your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which
caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal
unjustly with you? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal, Allah will know it. He said:
Gabriel came to me when you saw me. He called me and he concealed it from you. I
responded to his call, but I too concealed it from you (for he did not come to you), as
you were not fully dressed. I thought that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to
awaken you, fearing that you may be frightened. He (Gabriel) said: Your Lord has
commanded you to go to the inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg
pardon for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I
beg forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city
(graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on
those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall, God
willing, join you. (Muslim Book 4, Number 2127)
The Arabic word used in this hadith is The arabic word, which has been used in the
hadith is .
When Aisha said lahadney, the Arabic word does not denote strike or a beating. Rather,
its a push with an open palm. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do this with
several people in order to make a crucial point and get their attention. Aisha herself said
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) never beat her. She made no exceptions by
saying well except for that one time.
ishah said: Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) never once struck a servant of his
nor a woman, nor did he strike anyone with his hand. [Sahh Muslim (2328), Sunan Ab
Dwd (4786), Sunan Ibn Mjah (1984), as quoted from Sunan Ibn Mjah

False Story #27 Prophet Muhammad said the Devil is a Black Man
According to Ibn Ishaq pages 165 - 167 The Prophet (peace be upon him) allegedly
said that a Black Man is the Devil. However I dont know how many times I have to say
this, Ibn Ishaq is not reliable. See here. Thus this story is unreliable and false since
there is no reliable chain of transmission for it. Again Ibn Ishaq has been condemned by
great Islamic scholars for being careless in collecting his information, see Ibn
Taymiyyah, Majmu' Al Fataawa, Volume, 13, page 345

False Story #28 Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that the worlds
different ethicinities is descended from Shem, Ham and Japheth.
According to Ibn Bashshar- Ibn `Athmah- Sa'id b. Bashir- Qatadah- al-Hasan- Samurah
b. Jundub- the Prophet, in connection with commenting on God's word: `And We made
his offspring the survivors': Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (History of al-Tabari Volume 1
[State University of New York Press; Albany, NY 1989], pp. 369)
The chain of narration is weak. See Sheikh Albany's Jaami' Al Tirmidhi commentary on
hadith no. 3230 & 3931. Also see Sheikh Al Albany's Salseelatil Ahaadeeth Al Da'eefa,
Hadith no. 3683 for his detailed critique of the narration.

False Story #29 The story of Prophet Muhammad, Hafsa and Maria
This story is found in Tafsir Al-Tabari Volume 28 page 90. This story is so obscene I
cant post it here, but this story doesnt come from a reliable source. It comes from Tafsir
Al-Tabari which is not an authentic hadith collection. Islamic scholars have said that
Tafsirs are not reliable when it comes to learning about Prophet Muhammads life
because there is no insad (Islamic term for chain of transmission, see Shaykh Ibn
Taymiyyah, Majmu' Al Fataawa, Volume, 13, page 345).
At-Tabari's Tafsir is one of the major books of Tafsir. Yet, it also contains many false
Hadith s and unreliable narrations thathe collected from various resources. So this story
is false because there is no reliable chain of transmission for it.
For the Unreliablity and Problems with Al-Tabaris History Collection and Tafsir
(Commentary of the Quran) see here.

Misconception/ False Claim #30 Prophet Muhammad was not certain of his
salvation
This is false. Prophet Muhammad in two hadith said that he is going to enter heaven:

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: And I am the master of the people on
the Day of Judgment and I say this with no pride and I am the first one who would enter
paradise on the Day of Judgment and I say this with no pride. (Musnad Ahmed Hadith
#12013)

Anas b. Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I will
come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. and would seek its opening.
and the keeper would say: Who art thou? I would say: Muhammad. He would then say:
It is for thee that I have been ordered, and not to open it for anyone before thee.
(Muslim Book 001, Number 0384)

Misconception/ False Claim #31 Maria the Copt was Prophet Muhamamds
maid/Concubine
False claim. Although it is true that Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari say this, again Ibn Ishaq and
Al-Tabari are not reliable sources of information when it comes to learning about
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Ibn Kathir is quoted to have said:
Maria al-Qibtiyya (may Allah be pleased with her) is said to have married the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and certainly everyone gave her the same
title of respect as the Prophet's wives, 'Umm al Muminin' 'Mother of the Believers'.
The muqawqis, or King of the Copts, gave the Prophet (S) two wives as a gift. The
Prophet (S) married one, who became the mother of the Prophet's son Ibrahim, and he
gave the other one to Hassan as a wife. (Haythami said in Majma al-zawaid, "Tabarani
in al-Aswat and al-Bazzar related it, and the narrators in al-Bazzar's chain are all
scholar's of sound hadith as stated by Hisham Kabbani in Encyclopedia of Islamic
Doctrine: Remembrance of Allah and Praising the Prophet, p. 76 Vol. II)
"It is reported from 'Abdullah al-Zubairi who said: that after this the Noble Prophet
married (tazawwaju) Mariah daughter of Sham'un. This is the same Mariyah who was
sent by Maqauqis, the ruler of Alexandria to the Prophet as a gift" (Sahih al-Mustadarak
Hakim Vol. iv, as quoted in Namus, p. 86).
It must be borne in mind that in Maulana Maududi's view the word azwaj (wives)
according to the common usage in the Arabic language and in the Qur'anic terminology
is only used for women who have been properly married (Tafhim-ul-Qur'an, Vol. iii,
under verses 23: 5-7). In the above report a derivative of zwj (tazawwaju - he married)
has been used. What other historical proof is needed to establish the point that Mary
the Coptic was a wife of the Prophet in a proper sense?
The Qur'an also forbade the "wives" (azwaj) of the Prophet to marry again after this
death (33:53) because they were considered to be the mothers of the believers (33:6).
Mary the Coptic never married after the death of the Prophet.
The Prophet once remarked: " A person who has a slave-girl and trains her in the best
manner and gives her the best education, then sets her free and marries her, he will
have a double reward (in the next life) Mishkat-ul-Masabih Kitab-ul-Iman Ch.1; Bukhari

3:31; as quoted in Namus, p. 31). How could the Prophet himself go against his own
preachings - supposing for a moment that Mary the Coptic was sent to him as a slave
girl?
Moreover from Bukhari (THE MOST AUTHENTIC HADITH COLLECTION) Prophet
Muhammad did not have male or female slaves when he died:

Narrated 'Amir bin Al-Harith: Allah's Apostle (Prophet Muhammad) did not leave a Dinar
or a Dirham or a male or a female slave. He left only his white mule on which he used to
ride, and his weapons, and a piece of land which he gave in charity for the needy
travelers. (Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 738)
Narrated Amr bin Al-Harith: (The brother of the wife of Allah's Apostle. Juwaira bint AlHarith) When Allah's Apostle died, he did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (i.e. money), a
slave or a slave woman or anything else except his white mule, his arms and a piece of
land which he had given in charity . (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 51, Number 2)
So Maria was the wife of the Prophet (p).
False Story/ Claim #32 Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that he
believed in the Torah in the possession of the Jews at his time
The claim is found in Ibn Ishaqs Sira of the Prophet:
Rafi b. Haritha and Sallam b. Mishkam and Malik b. al-Sayf and Rafi b. Huraymila came
to him [Muhammad] and said: 'Do you not allege that you follow the religion of Abraham
and believe in the Torah which we have and testify that it is the truth from God?' He
replied, 'certainly, but you have sinned and broken the covenant contained therein and
concealed what you were ordered to make plain to men, and I dissociate myself from
your sin.' They said, 'We hold by what we have. We live according to the guidance and
the truth and we do not believe in you and we will not follow you.' So God sent down
concerning them: 'Say, O Scripture folk, you have no standing until you observe the
Torah and the Gospel and what has been sent down from your Lord. What has been
sent down to thee from they Lord will assuredly increase many of them in error and
unbelief. But be not sad because of the unbelieving people.' (The Life of Muhammad: A
Translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, with introduction and notes by Alfred
Guillaume [Oxford University Press, Karachi, Tenth impression 1995], p. 268)

This problem arises because Alfred Guillaume did not translate a very crucial word
properly. Below is the Arabic text of the story and the proper translation...

 ,
, ,
: ,
, , : ,
, , "

, , : ! " ,

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and Rafi b. Haritha,
and Sallam b. Mishkam and Malik b. al-Sayf and Rafi b. Huraymila and they (the Jews)
said to them: O Muhammad, do you not allege that you follow the way of Abraham and
his religion, and believe in what we have from the Torah and testify that it is the truth
from Allah? The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him replied: Yes, however you have
innovated and broken the covenant contained therein and concealed what you were
ordered to make clear to people, and I dissociate myself from your innovations. They
said, 'We hold by what we have. We live according to the guidance and the truth and we
do not believe in you and we will not follow you.'
If this story does anything now, it only serves as evidence that the Jews have corrupted
their scriptures. Notice how the crucial words "innovated" and "innovations" were not
properly translated by Alfred Guillaume. He simply translated the words as "sinned" and
"sins".
The fact that the Prophet (peace be upon him) accused the Jews of innovating shows
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) accused them of adding to the religion things that
did not belong there.
Now the Christian might reply back and say that it is possible that Muhammad peace be
upon him intended to mean that the Jews innovated by adding their false
interpretations. With all honesty, I will admit that this is true. However, the Christian must
also be honest and equally admit that it is possible that the Prophet peace be upon him
intended to say that the Jews innovated by adding false verses into the text of the
Torah.
Just by examining this narration alone, we can't know what the Prophet's intention was.
The story is ambiguous when examined alone. Since it is ambiguous Christians have no
right to use this story as a proof that the Prophet peace be upon him affirmed the textual
purity of the Torah since the story allows for the possibility that the Prophet intended to
say that the Jews textually corrupted their scriptures.
So the possible interpretation of the story is that when the Jews asked the Prophet if he
believed that what they have in the Torah is the truth from God he said "Yes" because
he believed that there was truth in it, however the Jews added their innovations to it.

False Story #33 Prophet Muhammad said he is married to Mary the Mother of
Jesus in Heaven
The hadith in question is this:
"The Messenger of God . said, 'God MARRIED ME IN PARADISE TO MARY THE
DAUGHTER OF 'IMRAN and to the wife of Pharaoh and the sister of Moses.'
(Tabarani)" (Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-Anbiya [Cairo: Dar al-Kutub, 1968/1388], p. 381- as
cited in Aliah Schleifer's Mary The Blessed Virgin of Islam [Fons Vitae; ISBN:
1887752021; July 1, 1998], p. 64; bold and capital emphasis [the writer's]).
However this hadith is false because the people who narrated it are unrelaible. What is
mentioned from Ibn 'Askir in this quote is contained in one of the three narrations
alluded to previously for which Ibn Kathr said, "Each of these hadths, their chains [of
transmission] contain a problem." The last narration was also quoted earlier and as was
mentioned, al-'Uqail viewed it as being weak; in Silsilah al-Ahdth ad-Da'fah
(2/220/no.812), Shaikh al-Albn elaborates further mentioning the criticisms of two
narrators in its chain: Ynus bin Shu'aib, who Imam al-Bukhr declared was rejected in
Hadth and 'Abdun-Nr bin 'Abdillah bin Sinn, who Imam adh-Dhahab declared was a
liar and accused of fabricating Hadth.
So we can toss this narration out.
False Story/ Misconception #34 Aisha did not hit puberty when marrying Prophet
Muhammad (p)
Only ignorant hate mongers of Islam/ Anti-Islamic critics of Islam keep bringing the issue
of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)'s marriage to
Aisha. Most these ignorant White People who know nothing of Islam. The fact is that
Aisha did in fact hit puberty when she was 9 years old as she said:
When the girl reaches nine years of age, she is a woman. (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Kitab: alNikah, Bab: Maa Jaa'a fee Ikraah Al Yateemah 'alaa al tazweej, Hadith no. 1027)
Shaikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri in his commentary on Sunan al-Tirmidhi said:

Aisha knew (that she hit puberty) when she became nine years old. (Shaikh AbdurRahman Al-Mubarakpuri, Tuhfat AI-Ahwadhi, Kitab: al-Nikah, Bab: Maa Jaa'a fee Ikraah
Al Yateemah 'alaa al tazweej, Hadith no. 1027)
In Arab culture when a girl reaches puberty she starts to mensurate and becomes a
woman. We have several examples of this:
- Imam Al-Shafi'e said in Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala', Volume 10, p. 91 "During my stay in
Yemen I have come across girls at the age of nine whom menstruated so often"
- Imam Al-Bayhaqi in Sunan Al-Bayhaqi Al-Kubra, Volume 1, p. 319 narrated that Imam
Al-Shafi'e said: "I have seen in the city of Sana'a a grandmother while she was twenty
one. She menstruated at the age of nine and gave birth at the age of 10"
- Ibn Al-Jawzi narrated similar stories from Ibn U'qail and U'bad Al-Mahlby in his
Tahqeeq Fi Ahadith Al-Khilaf, Volume 2, p. 267
SO THE FACT IS THAT AISHA BECAME A WOMAN WHEN SHE MARRIED PROPHET
MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM). THESE ARE THE
FACTS. IF THESE IGNORANT WHITE PEOPLE AND OTHER IGNORANT HATE
MONGERS WANT TO KEEP BRINGING UP THE ISSUE OF
PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S MARRIAGE TO AISHA TELL THEM TO GET THEIR FACTS
STRAIGHT BEFORE TALKING OUT OF THEIR ASSES.
Also if Christians bring up the issue of Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha just
bring up the fact that The Virgin Mary was only 12-14 years old
when she had Jesus and was married to Joesph the Carpenter:
Regarding the Marriage of Mary to Joseph, Catholic Encyclopaedia
( http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08504a.htm), says:
"When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some,
Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two
daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's
brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that
they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve
to fourteen years of age, Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to
Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of
Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place."
Note: That article on Catholic Encyclopaedia obtains its information from early
Christian writing including apocryphal writings.

The Catholic Encyclopaedia goes on to conclude "...retained the belief that St. Joseph
was an old man at the time of marriage with the Mother of God." If Christians do not find
any difficulty in accepting "Mother of God" (according to Catholic Encyclopaedia), who
was 12-14, marrying a 90 year old man then why do they raise objection towards the
marriage of Aisha (RA) to the Prophet?
As for Aisha and her playing with dolls when marrying Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) please see this link.

False Story #35 Prophet Muhammad was unfair in his treament of his wives,
especially Saudwa/ wanted to divorce Saudwa

This is false and has already been answered and refuted here: http://www.answeringchristianity.com/bassam_zawadi/treatment_to_sauda.htm

False Story #36 Prophet Muhammad allowed Mutah Marriage/Temporary Marriage

with a woman

Mutah was a Pre-Islamic practice done by the Arabs Before Islam. Thus Mutah is not
something Islam came up with, it already existed before the coming of Islam.

It is true that in it's early years, Mutah was allowed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him). However there later was a verse revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by
Allah that prohibited Mutah or temporary marriage:

In the hadith collection of Tirmizi, Ibn Abbas narrates:

"Temporary marriage was at the beginning of Islam. A man comes by a town where he
has no acquaintances, so he marries for a fixed time depending on his stay in the town,
the woman looks after his provisions and prepares his food, until the verse was
revealed: 'Except to your wives or what your right hands possess.'"
A majority of Sunnis believe that Muhammad later abolished this type of marriage at
several different large events, the most accepted being at Khaybar in 7 AH (629 CE)
Bukhari 059.527 and at the Victory of Mecca in 8 AH (630 CE). The hadith is this:

Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib: On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Apostle forbade the Mut'a (i.e.
temporary marriage) and the eating of donkey-meat. (Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #527)
For more evidence that Mutah is forbidden in Islam see (Bukhari Book #008, Hadith
#3261)
Some people say hadiths are contradictory, but actually they are not. The case is very
simple, the prophet Muhammad forbade the act of muta' on more than one occasion.
For instance, he forbade those who were present at the battle of Khaibar and on
another occasion, in front of thousands of the day of the conquest of Makkah.
One might argue back saying that Shias allow for Mutah and say that Ali (one of the
disciples of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allowed it, but this is false.
According to Shia sources, Ali didn't even allow Mutah!
Once Ali argued with a man who believed in Muta'a and told him that the Prophet made
muta'a and the meat of donkey haram on the day of Khaiber (Bukhari vol. 7, pg. 287
and vol. 4 pg. 134). This hadith can also be found in shiya hadith books
The shiya themselves have a hadith narrated by Ali which states that the Prophet made
muta'a haram on the day of Khaiber (Book of Tahdeeb: vol. 7, pg. 251, rewaya 10).
Imam Abi-Abdullah narrated: Do not do muta'a with a believer woman..because you will
humiliate her by doing that.(shiya sources: Tahdeeb: vol. 7, pg. 253, rewaya 14:21;
Istibsaar: vol. 3, pg. 143, rewaya 4:93).
These hadiths must be followed since the Quran states:

"O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with
authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to God and His
Apostle, if ye do believe in God and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for
final
determination. (The Noble Quran, 4:59)"
"When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it.
If they had only referred it to the Apostle, or to those charged with authority among
them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for
the Grace and Mercy of God unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the
clutches of Satan. (The Noble Quran, 4:83)"
Umar Ibn Khattab also used to forbid people from doing Mutah as the following
narrations say:

"al-Bukhari declared that Umar used to forbid people on Mut'a." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, v1,
p233)
Ibn Hazm said, "temporary marriage is not permitted; this is a fixed marriage which was
permitted at the time of the Messenger (s.a.w.), then Allah superseded it through His
Messenger (s.a.w.) until the day of resurrection."

False Story #37 Prophet Muhammad attacked various Tribes, Arab Tribes, the
Jewish Tribes, and the Pagan Meccan Tribes for no good reason/ Prophet
Muhamamd (p) wars were not in self defense:

As for the Jews, that is not correct. The Jewish tribes if Banu Qunuqa, Banu Nadir and
Banu Qurazah fought against Prophet Muhammad (p), for proof see Muslim Book 019,
Number 4364. Also Imam Nawawi states:

Imam Nawawi in his commentary on the hadith stated...

,
And he uttered this statement to them because they waged war against the Messenger
of Allah (peace be upon him) just as Ibn Umar mentioned in his narration, which Imam
Muslim mentions after this. (Imam Nawawi, Sharh Saheeh Muslim, Kitab: Al Jihad wal
Sayr, Bab: Ejlaa' al Yahood min al-Hijaaz, Commentary on Hadith no. 3311
For the Banu Qaynuqa breaking the Covenant and fighting against the Muslims see Ibn
Hisham Volume 3, pages 65-80. For the Banu Nadir breaking the Covenant and fighting
the Muslims see Ibn Hisham Volume 3 pages 680 to 683.

As for the Prophet Muhammad attacking the Pagan Meccans/Raiding the Caravans for
no reason, This is false, see here: http://www.call-tomonotheism.com/did_the_muslims_instigate_the_battle_of_badr__a_rebuttal_to_david
_wood
For example the Banu Mustaliq Tribe tried to attack Madinah and the Muslims first (See
Ibn Hisham Volume 2, page 289, 290, 294, 295 and Zad ul Mad Volume 2, page 112113.). Jewish Tribes like Banu Qurazah also started launching war operations against
the Muslims in Madinah (See Ibn Hisham Volume 3, pages 307-308 and Al Bayhaqi in
his Dalail Volume 3, pages 400-401) Ibn Hisham Volume 3, pages 329-330. So yes,
Prophet Muhammad (p) wars were in self defense. More to come inshallah!
False Story #37.1 Prophet Muhammad (p) attacked the Khaybar Jews for no
reason
The reason why Khaybar was invaded by Prophet Muhammad (p) and the Muslims was
because the Jews of Khaybar instigated violence against the
Muslims by provoking the enemies of the Muslims to fight the Muslims (See Ibn Hisam
Volume 2, Page 272 and Volume 3, Page 272) and Ibn Hisham
Volume 2 and 3 pages 272-280, etc etc. For more on refuting the critics of Islam on the
Battle of Khaybar see here.

False Story #38 The Prophet Muhammad said "Kill any Jew under your power"
and the killing of the Jew Ibn Sunayna

This story and alleged saying of the Prophet Muhammad (p) is found in Sunan Abu
Dawud, Book 19, Number 2996 and in Ibn Ishaq page 369. However this story is false.
Despite the fact that this story is mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawood, it is weak and
unreliable. Concerning isnad (i.e. chain of reporters), this Hadith was narrated by
servant of Zaid Ibn Thabet on authority of daughter of Muhayyisah. Servant of Zaid is
Muhammad Ibn Ibi Muhammad and he is unreliable, and daughter of Muhayyisah is
unknown. Concerning matn (i.e. text), it says that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) ordered to kill all Jews which is illogical even if Christian missionaries want to
believe it! Because the Jews had a treaty with Muslims and there was no evidence that
Muslims indulged in killing any Jew other than this Hadith. Moreover, Ibn Hesham himelf
who edited the work of Ibn Ishaq suggests that the incident of Huwayyisah and
Muhayyisah occurred during slaughter of Bani-Qurayzah, not after murder of Kab (See
Ibn Hisham, Volume 3, page 18)
False Story #39 Prophet Muhammad (p) made a false prophecy when he said the
women will go around an idol in Arabia.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till the
buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa."
Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe which they used to worship in the Pre
Islamic Period of ignorance. (Bukhari)

However Ibn Hajar argues that this prophecy has already been furfilled in his
Commentary of Bukhari called "Fathul Bari".
False Story #40 Prophet Muhammad (p) said that most women go to Hell:

Already answered on another website: http://www.letmeturnthetables.com/2009/01/whyis-it-said-in-hadith-that-women.html

False Story #41 Prophet Muhammad allowed Rape, Rape of Slave women and
Rape is allowed in Islam

This is a false claim about critics of Islam. Rape in Islam is forbidden see this:

False Story/Allegation #42- Rahyana was the Concubine of the Prophet

Muhammad (p)
This claim is found in Ibn Ishaq page 466. However there is no reliable chain of
tranmission for this claim or story.

According to other and stronger/better Islamic sources, Rahyana was the wife of the
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) see
Ibn Sa'd Volume 8 pages 92-93 and Ibn Hajar, Isabaha, Volume 4, page 309. So
Rayhana was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him).
