===Poisoned by a Jewess=== | |||
Muhammad was poisoned by a Jewish woman, following the conquest of Khaibar, where he took [[Safiyah]] as a wife, and ordered the torture and beheading of her husband [[Kinana]], the chief of the Jews at Khaibar. | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|3|47|786}}|Narrated Anas bin Malik: | |||
A Jewess 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." I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of Allah's Apostle .}} | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|5|59|713}}|....Narrated 'Aisha: 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."}} | |||
The reason behind her action was the killing of her people and family by Muhammad. | |||
{{Quote|Ibn Sa'd p. 252|The apostle of Allah sent for Zaynab 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."}} | |||
It was no secret among the wives, that [[Aisha]] was Muhammad's favorite, and he made this clear as death approached. | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|7|62|144}}|Narrated 'Aisha: | |||
that during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished....}} | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|1|11|634}}|....He came out with the help of two men and his legs were dragging on the ground. He was between Al-Abbas and another man [Ali Ibn Abi Talib]."....}} | |||
===Died in the Arms of Aisha=== | |||
Even from his death-bed, Muhammad was issuing orders and cursing [[Islam and the People of the Book|Christians and Jews]]. | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|5|59|716}}|....Then he [Muhammad] ordered them to do three things. He said, "Turn the pagans out of the 'Arabian Peninsula; respect and give gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with them." (Said bin Jubair, the sub-narrator said that Ibn Abbas kept quiet as rewards the third order, or he said, "I forgot it.")}} | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|4|56|660}}|Narrated 'Aisha and Ibn 'Abbas: | |||
On his death-bed Allah's Apostle put a sheet over his-face and when he felt hot, he would remove it from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said, "May Allah's Curse be on the Jews and the Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets." (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians) had done.}} | |||
On the 8<sup>th</sup> of June, 632 AD Aisha watched Muhammad finally die, slumped on her bosom. | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|5|59|730}}|Narrated Aisha:....In front of him there was a jug or a tin, (The sub-narrator, 'Umar is in doubt as to which was right) containing water. He started dipping his hand in the water and rubbing his face with it, he said, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Death has its agonies." He then lifted his hands (towards the sky) and started saying, "With the highest companion," till he expired and his hand dropped down.}} | |||
{{Quote| {{Bukhari|7|62|144}}|....'Aisha added: He died on the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva was mixed with my saliva.}} | |||
