Who Killed Muhammad?

what's your emergency hello I'd like to report a murder Muhammad Mohammed IBN Abdullah I think it was poisoned no he's the prophet of Islam and when was this well it was almost 14 centuries ago but don't you guys have like a Cold Case file or something not for that long ago listen lady do you have any clue how important this case is I've got sunnis telling me a Jewish woman poisoned him I've got shias telling me Aisha poisoned him and I want to know who killed hello she hung up guess I'll have to solve this one myself through a careful investigation of Islam's most trusted sources by the way to all my Muslim friends out there who've never bothered to read your most trusted sources may I say in advance all right I've gone through the Quran the Hadith the tafsir and the Sierra literature and I think I finally solved the mystery of Muhammad's death can you imagine solving a 1400 year old murder mystery by carefully re-examining the evidence that kind of makes me the ultimate Cold Case detective doesn't it take that Jay Warner Wallace tracking this case was actually pretty straightforward the Muslim sources tell us that Muhammad was poisoned all we have to do is take everything we know about how Muhammad was killed and ask ourselves who would have killed him in that particular way police do this sort of thing every day they match up a bullet with the gun that fired the bullet they match up fingerprints with the person who left the fingerprints they match up details of a crime with a Criminal Who has a certain Mo so to figure out who killed Muhammad we just need to do a little profiling the main difficulty we Face here is that lots of people wanted to kill Muhammad the pagans wanted to kill him for conquering their cities smashing their Idols slaughtering their men raping their women and enslaving their children Jews wanted to kill him for seizing their land destroying their communities slaughtering their men raping their women and enslaving their children Christians wanted to kill him for threatening to conquer them men wanted to kill him women wanted to kill him old people wanted to kill him young people wanted to kill him Muhammad made a lot of enemies fortunately we can narrow down our list of suspects by ruling out people who would have killed Muhammad in some way other than poisoning certain Killers like to strangle their victims they're not going to use poison Some people prefer knives some people set fires some people push their victims off cliffs Colonel Mustard wouldn't poison anyone he'd use a lead pipe in the ballroom interestingly the Quran tells us how Allah would have killed Muhammad we find Allah's Mo his preferred method of executing false prophets in Surah 69 verses 44-46 according to the Quran if Muhammad were to invent a false Revelation if he were to fabricate verses of the Quran Allah would kill him by severing his aorta the aorta is the artery that comes out of the left ventricle of your heart it's also called The Life artery let's look at four translations of Surah 69 verses 44 to 46 so we can get a clear idea of what the passage is saying the helelecon translation reads and if he Muhammad had forged a false saying concerning us us is a law because he's plural sometimes we surely would have seized him by his right hand or with power and might and then we certainly would have cut off his life artery and in parentheses the translators add aorta the pickthall translation declares and if he had invented false sayings concerning us we assuredly had taken him by the right hand and then severed his life artery the sahih international translation reads and if he I. E Muhammad had made up about us some false sayings we would have seized him by the right hand then we would have cut from him the aorta MH Shakir renders these verses and if he had fabricated against us some of the sayings we would certainly have seized him by the right hand then we would certainly have cut off his aorta and just so we're clear on the meaning and no one accuses me of misrepresenting the passage let me read one of the most popular Muslim commentaries on these verses this is tafsir zala Lane and had he namely the prophet fabricated Any Lies against us by communicating from us that which we have not said we would have assuredly seized him we would have exacted Vengeance against him as punishment by the right hand by our strength and power then we would have assuredly severed his life artery the aorta of the heart a vein that connects with it and which if severed results in that person's death so if Muhammad had been a false prophet a liar a deceiver a fraud phony a cheat a con artist we know how Allah would have killed him Allah would have severed his aorta as long as no one severs Muhammad's aorta then we can rule out Allah as a suspect now that we've got our methodology let's turn to the Muslim sources so we can piece together a profile of Muhammad's murderer according to sahi abukari sahih Muslim and other texts Muhammad was poisoned by a Jewish woman sahil bukhari 2617. a Jewish brought a poisoned cooked sheep for the prophet who ate from it she was brought to the prophet and he was asked shall we kill her he said no honest added I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of Allah's messenger people could see the effect of the poison in Muhammad's mouth the poison apparently disfigured his palate making his mouth look strange 5705.

it was narrated from honest that a Jewish woman presented some poisoned lamb to the messenger of Allah and he ate some of it she was brought to the messenger of Allah and he asked her about that she said I wanted to kill you he said Allah will never give you the power to do that or he said to me Allah will never give you the power to do that to me they said shall we kill her he said no he said Mr honest and I continued to see its effects on the uvula of the messenger of Allah notice two things here one Muhammad tells this woman Allah will never give you the power to kill me I guess Muhammad didn't know Allah very well because as we're about to see the poison ultimately did kill him two honest could see the effects of the poison on Muhammad's uvula that's the part that hangs at the back of your throat so when Muhammad opened his mouth his companions could see on the roof of his mouth all the way back towards the uvula the damage caused by the poison case you're wondering why this woman wanted to poison Muhammad she tells us in IBN sod Volume 2 page 252. the Apostle of Allah sent for zainabin al-harath that's the woman who poisoned him and said to her what induced you to do what you have done she replied you have done to my people what you have done you have killed my father my uncle and my husband so I said to myself if you are a prophet the four leg will inform you and others have said if you are a king we will get rid of you the woman poisoned Muhammad because he slaughtered her father her uncle and her husband that isn't motive I don't know what is so Muhammad slaughtered her family and she retaliated by poisoning him open and shut case right wrong because there's a plot twist here my friends you see zainab didn't act alone she had a partner an accomplice a co-conspirator someone working behind the scenes pulling the strings a mastermind so brilliant and diabolical he can only be described as the best of plotters let's see if we can unmask the true architect of the plot to murder Muhammad sahaya bukhari 44-28 narrated Aisha the prophet in his ailment in which he died used to say oh Aisha I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at kaibar and at this time I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison what's that Muhammad something about your aorta being cut that's strange I seem to recall someone telling us that if he were going to kill you for being a false prophet he'd do it by severing your aorta I should also point out that the words as if are not in the Arabic they were added by the translator Muhammad simply says I feel my aorta being cut from that poison but let's keep reading soon in Abu dhalo at 4498 the Hadith starts with some text about Muhammad receiving presents then we have this version adds so a Jewish presented him Muhammad at kaibar with a roasted sheep which she had poisoned the messenger of Allah ate of it and the people also ate he then said take away your hands from the food for it has informed me that it is poisoned died so he the prophet sent for the Jews and said to her what motivated you to do the work you have done she said if you were a prophet it would not harm you but if you were a king I should rid the people of you the messenger of Allah then ordered regarding her and she was killed he then said about the pain of which he died I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at kaibar this is the time when it has cut off my aorta this is the time when it has cut off my aorta didn't someone tell us in the Quran that he would kill Muhammad by cutting off his aorta by the way if you're wondering why some passages say that Muhammad Let zainab Live while other passages say that he executed her Scholars harmonized the passages by saying that Muhammad initially allowed her to live but that once Bishop died he had her executed speaking of bisher notice the passage says that Muhammad's companion Bishop died from eating the poison interestingly before bisher died he told Muhammad that as soon as he put the poisoned lamb in his mouth he could taste the poison but he ate it anyway because he saw Muhammad eating it IBN Saad Volume 2 pages 251-252. then the Apostle of Allah may Allah bless him said come closer and have a night meal the Apostle of Allah may Allah bless him took the foreleg a piece of which he put into his mouth MrIBN al-barah took another bone and put it into his mouth when the Apostle of Allah blah blah blah ate one morsel of it Bishop ate his and other people also ate from it then the Apostle of Allah blah blah blah said hold back your hands because this four leg and according to another version the shoulder of the goat has informed me that it is poisoned thereupon Bishop said by him who hath made you great I discovered it from the morsel I took nothing prevented me from emitting it out spitting it out but the idea that I did not like to make your food unrelishing when you had eaten what was in your mouth I did not like to save my life after yours and I also thought you would not have eaten it if there was something wrong bisher did not rise from his seat but his color changed to that of telsan a green cloth bisher turned green and died because he trusted Muhammad died too his pain and sickness just lasted much longer in Sun Abu dawad Muhammad even described his pain to bisher's Mother soon in Abu dawood 4499 narrated IBN Cobb IBN Malik on the authority of his father um mubashir bisher's mother said to the prophet during the sickness of which he died what do you think about your illness messenger of Allah I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at kaibar the prophet said and I do not think about my illness except that this is the time when it cut off my aorta there's that aorta again the history of tabari volume 8 page 124 the messenger of God said during the illness from which he died the mother of bishir IBN al-barah had come in to visit him um bishar at this very moment I feel my aorta being severed because of the food I ate with your son at kaibar okay Muhammad we got the point about your severed aorta according to Aisha Muhammad was in total Agony before his death 1622 Aisha said I never saw anyone suffer more pain than the messenger of Allah he was in so much pain that he couldn't even walk on his own his followers had to drag him around sahil bukhari 2588 narrated azzuri ubaidullah bin Abdullah told me that Aisha had said when the prophet became sick and his condition became serious he requested his wives to allow him to be treated in my house and they allowed him he came out leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground he was walking between al-abas and another man well it wasn't really walking if his feet were dragging on the ground while two guys propped him up I guess we know where they got the plot for Weekend at Bernie's now since the Quran says that if Muhammad were a false prophet Allah would sever his aorta and Muhammad eventually admitted that he could feel his aorta being severed you might think we have a pretty good reason to reject Muhammad and his Revelations but you're wrong if you look more closely you'll see that we have at least 10 good reasons to reject Muhammad and his Revelations first think about Muhammad's argument in the Quran if I'm a false prophet Allah will cut my aorta people who make silly claims like this usually aren't Prophets hi I'm a prophet if I'm not may God strike me down with lightning oh no lightning you see this proves I'm a prophet Now give me your daughters God wants you to give me your daughters when someone uses that kind of reasoning chances are he's a false prophet but that's exactly how Muhammad argues in Surah 69.
