Mohamedova aorta

(69:44) A kdyby si on proti vůli Naší vymýšlel nějaká rčení,

(69:45) věru bychom jej vzali za jeho pravici

(69:46) a pak mu prořízli jeho srdečnici (لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ, la-qata'anaa min-hu al-wateena).

(69:44) And had he namely the Prophet s fabricated any lies against Us by communicating from Us that which We have not said

(69:45) We would have assuredly seized him We would have exacted vengeance against him as punishment by the Right Hand by Our strength and power;

(69:46) "then We would have assuredly severed his life-artery" - the aorta of the heart (نِيَاط الْقَلْب, niaat al-qalb) a vein (عِرْق, irq) that connects with it and which if severed results in that person’s death

(69:44) (And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us,) meaning, `if Muhammad forged something against Us, as they claim, and added or removed anything from the Message, or said anything from himself while attributing it to Us, then We would surely be swift in punishing him. And of course, Muhammad did not do any of this (as the disbelievers claimed).' Thus, Allah says,

(69:45) (We surely would have seized him by his right hand,) It has been said that this means, `We would seize him by the right hand because it is more stronger in grabbing.'

(69:46) (And then We certainly would have cut off Al-Watin from him,) Ibn `Abbas said, "It (Al-Watin) refers to the artery of the heart (نياط القلب, niaat al-qalb), and it is the vein (العرق, al-irq) that is attached to the heart. This has also been said by `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hakim, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Muslim Al-Batin and Abu Sakhr Humayd bin Ziyad. Muhammad bin Ka`b said, "It (Al-Watin) is the heart, its blood, and whatever is near it.

Narrated `Aisha:

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (أَبْهَرِي, abhar-ee) is being cut (انْقِطَاعَ, utqitaa'a) from that poison."

Narrated Ibn Ka'b b. Malik:

On the authority of his father: Umm Mubashshir said to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the sickness of which he died: What do you think about your illness, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaybar. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off (قَطَعَتْ, qata'at) my aorta (أَبْهَرِي, abhar-ee).

Abu Dawud said: Sometime 'Abd al-Razzaq transmitted this tradition, omitting the link of the Companion, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and sometimes he transmitted it from al-Zuhri from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ka'b b. Malik, 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned that Ma'mar sometimes transmitted the tradition in a mursal form (omitting the link of the Companion), and they recorded it. And all this is correct with us. 'Abd al-Razzaq said: When Ibn al-Mubarak came to Ma'mar, he transmitted the traditions in a musnad form (with a perfect chain) which he transmitted as mauquf traditions (statements of the Companions and not of the Prophet).

Narrated Abu Hurairah:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would accept a present, but would not accept alms (sadaqah). And Wahb bin Baqiyyah narrated to us, elsewhere, from Khalid, from Muhammad ibn Amr said on the authority of AbuSalamah, and he did not mention the name of Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to accept presents but not alms (sadaqah).

This version adds: So a Jewess presented him at Khaybar with a roasted sheep which she had poisoned. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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. Bishr ibn al-Bara' ibn 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 should rid the people of you. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 Khaybar. This is the time when it has cut off (قَطَعَتْ, qata'at) my aorta. (أَبْهَرِي, abhar-ee)

الوَتِينُ [The aorta: or the aorta descendens:] a certain vein [or artery] adhering to the inner side of the backbone all along, which supplies all the [other] veins [or arteries] with blood, and irrigates the flesh, being the river of the body: or a certain thick white vein resembling a cane: [this last is the description given by Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”] or [the aorta ascendens;] the نِيَاط of the heart: or a certain white vein within the back of the neck: it is said to draw up [its supply] from the heart, and in it is the blood. ― Also, the خِلْب, q. v.: pl. أَوْتِنَةٌ and وُتُنٌ: (M:) i. q. نِيَاطُ القَلْبِ.

أَبْهَر ( اسم ): شِرْيانٌ أَوُرْطَى

[abhar (noun): artery aorta]

aorta - main artery through which blood is carried from the left side of the heart

وَتِين ( اسم ): شِرْيانٌ أوُرْطِيّ

[wateen (noun): artery aorta]

aorta

aorta ( noun ): main artery through which blood is carried from the left side of the heart

أبْهَر ؛ وَتِين

[abhar, wateen]

Az-Zubaydee in his famous Arabic dictionary Taaj al-'Aroos min Jawaahir Al-Qaamoos cites the scholar Ibn Athir as saying:

الأبْهَرُ عِرْقٌ مَنْشَؤُه مِن الرَّأْس ويَمْتَدُّ إلى القَدمِ

The Abhar is a vein that originates from the head and extends to the feet.

He then proceeds to say after assigning names to specific veins and their respective locations in the human body:

ويمتدُّ إلى الظَّهْر فيُسَمَّى الوَتِينَ

And it extends to the back and is called al-wateen.

So here we observe that al-wateen is actually a part of al-abhar. This is why al-wateen is sometimes used synonymously with al-abhar in some dictionaries. It is because al-wateen is a part of al-abhar, however likewise can't be said vice versa, for Al-abhar doesn't necessarily refer to al-wateen.

And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta)

Narrated `Aisha:

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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."

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

Thereafter indeed We would have cut (off) (his) aorta.

Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.

And then severed his life-artery

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
