SO ALLAH DID NOT LOVE THE LATE MUHAMMAD
Who killed Muhammad?
This question has many answers as he had many enemies, including pagans, Jews, and even Christians due to his conquests, killing people, raping their wives, and enslaving their women. Indeed, Muhammad had many enemies.
-
How was he killed? There are many possible ways: some could have used poison, others a knife, a club, or pushing him off a cliff, etc.
-
What is interesting is that the Quran tells us how Allah would have killed Muhammad.
Quran 69:44-46
-
And if he (Muhammad) had forged a false saying concerning us,
-
We surely would have seized him by his right hand,
-
Then We would certainly have cut off his life artery (Aorta).
Let's see some interpretations of this verse as translated by various scholars.
Quran 69:44-46
-
If he (Muhammad) had forged a false saying concerning us, We would surely have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), and then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta). (Hilal-Khan)
And if (Muhammad) had invented lies against Us, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, then We would certainly have cut off his life artery. (Pickthall)
Had he invented lies concerning Us, we would have seized him by the right hand and severed his heart's vein. (Dawood)
If he had fabricated against Us, some of the sayings, We should certainly have seized him by the right hand, then We would certainly have cut off his Aorta. (Shakir)
Therefore, according to the Quran, if Muhammad had fabricated revelations, Allah would have killed him by cutting his life artery (Aorta).
Now let's see what the Hadith says about Muhammad being poisoned by a Jewish woman.
Sahih Al-Bukhari 2617
A Jewess brought a poisoned (cooked) sheep for the prophet who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and was asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No". Anas added: "I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of Allah's Messenger."
Translation:
A Jewish woman brought poisoned cooked meat to the Prophet, who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and questioned, "Shall we kill her?" The Prophet said, "No". Anas added, "I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of Allah's Messenger."
Sahih Muslim 5430
A Jewess came to Allah's Messenger with poisoned mutton, and he took of what had been brought to him. (When the effect of this poison was felt by him), he called for her and asked her about that, whereupon she said: "I had determined to kill you." Thereupon he said: "Allah will never give you the power to do it."
Translation:
A Jewish woman came to Allah's Messenger with poisoned mutton, and he took what was brought to him. (When he felt the effect of this poison), he called for her and asked her, whereupon she said: "I had determined to kill you." Thereupon he said: "Allah will never give you the power to do it."
You see? Muhammad confidently tells the woman that Allah will not allow her to kill him, but unfortunately, the poison killed him. Why did the woman want to kill Muhammad?
The answer to this question is found in the Hadith of Ibn Sa'd, Volume 2, pp. 251-252
The Apostle of Allah sent for Zaynab bint Al-Harith 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 foreleg will inform you; and others have said: if you are a king, we will get rid of you."
The Prophet of God sent for Zaynab bint Al-Harith and said to her, "What made you do what you did?" She replied, "You have done to my people what you have done. You killed my father, my uncle, and my husband, so I said to myself, if you are a prophet, the foreleg will inform you; and others have said, if you are a king, we will get rid of you."
Ibn Sa'd, Volume 2, pp. 251-252
So you see, the woman killed Muhammad because he had killed her family. However, Zaynab was not alone in this; she had a partner in the plot.
Sahih Al-Bukhari 4428
The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."
Translation:
The Prophet, in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."
Sunan Abu Dawud 4498
A Jewess presented (Muhammad) at Khaibar with a roasted sheep which she had poisoned. The Apostle of Allah ate of it, and the people also ate. He then said: "Lift your hands (from eating), for it has informed me that it is poisoned." Bishr al-Bara b. Ma'rur al-Ansari died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess (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 would rid the people of you." The Apostle 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 Khaibar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta."

He then said about the pain from which he died: "I continued to feel pain from the morsel I had eaten at Khaibar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta."
You start to get the picture here. Did anyone in the Quran say they would cut Muhammad's main artery?
Quran 69:44-46
-
And if he (Muhammad) had forged a false saying concerning us,
-
We surely would have seized him by his right hand,
-
Then We would certainly have cut off his life artery (Aorta).
You see? You can connect the dots here.
We have also seen one of Muhammad's companions, Bishr b. Al-Bara b. Ma'rur al-Ansar, dying after eating the poison.
But before he died, he told Muhammad that as soon as he put the piece of meat in his mouth, he felt the poison, but he continued to eat because he saw the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, eating.
Ibn Sa'd, Volume 2, pp. 252-252
The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, took the foreleg, a piece of which he put into his mouth. Bishr ibn al-Bara took another bone and put it into his mouth. When the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, ate one morsel of it, Bishr ate his, and other people also ate from it. Then the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said: "Hold back your hands! Because this foreleg; and according to another version, the shoulder of the goat, has informed me that it is poisoned." Thereupon Bishr said: "By Him who hath made you great! I discovered it from the morsel I took. Nothing prevented me from emitting it out, but the idea that I did not like to make your food unappetizing. 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." Bishr did not rise from his seat but his color changed to that of Taylsan (a green cloth).

Ibn Sa'd, Volume 2, pp. 251-252
So Bishr died because he trusted Muhammad, believing him to be a prophet and thinking he would detect the poison.
Muhammad explained his pain to Bishr's mother.
Sahih Abu Dawud 4449
Umm Bishr said to the Prophet during the illness of which he died: "What do you think about your illness, Apostle of Allah? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaibar." The Prophet said: "And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta."
Translation:

I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaibar." The Prophet said: "And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta."
At-Tabari, Volume 8, p. 124
The messenger of God said during the illness from which he died—the mother of Bishr b. Al-Bara had come to visit him—"Umm Bishr, at this very moment I feel my aorta being severed because of the food I ate with your son at Khaibar."

At-Tabari, Volume 8, p. 124
According to his wife Aisha, Muhammad was in severe pain before his death.
Sunan Ibn Majah 1622
Aisha said: "I never saw anyone suffer more pain than the messenger of Allah."
Translation:
Aisha said: "I never saw anyone suffer more pain than the Messenger of Allah."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1622
Sahih Al-Bukhari 2588
Aisha 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."
Translation:
Aisha 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."
Sahih Al-Bukhari 2588
Now, since the Quran says that if Muhammad had been a false prophet, Allah would cut his main artery, and Muhammad admitted that his main artery (Aorta) was cut, we can conclude that Muhammad was not a true prophet.
You might also wonder about Muhammad's judgment in accepting food from someone whose relatives he had killed.
If Muhammad did not have the common sense to avoid food from someone whose family members he had killed, can he be trusted in anything he says?
Moreover, Zaynab tested Muhammad, believing that if he was a true prophet, he would not die from the poison, but if he was a false prophet, he would die. Muhammad failed this test.
Additionally, Muhammad's friend Bishr tasted the meat and realized it was poisoned but continued to eat because he saw Muhammad eating and trusted him.
Lastly, when the Jews tried to kill Jesus, Allah intervened and saved him.
Quran 4:157-158
-
And for saying, "We killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." But they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
-
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.
It's remarkable that Allah saved Jesus from the Jews but allowed Muhammad to be killed by a single Jewish woman.
In conclusion, Muhammad wanted to die as a martyr in battle but died from poison given by a woman.
Sahih Bukhari 2797
"By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's cause and then be resurrected and then be martyred, and then be resurrected again and then be martyred, and then be resurrected again and then be martyred."
Translation:
"By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's cause and then be resurrected and then be martyred, and then be resurrected again and then be martyred, and then be resurrected again and then be martyred."
Sahih Bukhari 2797
Unfortunately, Muhammad died from poison given by a woman.
Remember, Muhammad received revelations from Allah whenever he needed them, whether it was meeting Aisha, marrying four wives, or marrying his adopted son's wife. Allah always fulfilled Muhammad's desires.
Here, I am laying the foundation by looking at the surrounding details in the Quran. Later, I will start revealing the hidden teachings within the Quran. This journey will be long and requires great patience.
I am not engaging in religious debates but trying to show you how Muhammad died and who killed him.
Unlike what your religious leaders tell you to control your thoughts, this is about freeing your mind if you receive it with an open heart.
