As the Encyclopedia of Islam states, other narratives exist around these verses, but considering how bad the original narrative looks for Muhammad it is unlikely that the any of the alternatives were the most primordial narrative; rather, the above narrative would appear to be the oldest, and the others were later fabrications meant to protect the reputation of the prophet<ref name="Brill">{{cite book | title = The Encyclopaedia of Islam: Mahk-Mid | publisher = Brill | pages = 575 | oclc = 399624 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=9lbIwAEACAAJ}}</ref>. | As the Encyclopedia of Islam states, other narratives exist around these verses, but considering how bad the original narrative looks for Muhammad it is unlikely that the any of the alternatives were the most primordial narrative; rather, the above narrative would appear to be the oldest, and the others were later fabrications meant to protect the reputation of the prophet<ref name="Brill">{{cite book | title = The Encyclopaedia of Islam: Mahk-Mid | publisher = Brill | pages = 575 | oclc = 399624 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=9lbIwAEACAAJ}}</ref>. | ||
== Scandal of fornication of Maria and Muhammad's order to kill the man without the trail == | |||
After the death of [[Khadijah bint Khuwaylid|Khadijah]], Muhammad had about 16 (+/-) wives and slave-women, but he got no children from any of them. Then Maria was presented to Muhammad as a slave-woman, along with her cousin (a male-slave). After some time, Maria became pregnant. But it was rumoured that she became pregnant from her cousin, and not from Muhammad. When Muhammad heard those rumors, he ordered the killing of that man without any court trail. | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|50|68}}|Anas reported that a person (a coptic slave whose name was "Mabur" and he was the cousin of Maria al-Qibtiyya) was charged with fornication with the slavegirl of Allah's Messenger (i.e. Maria al-Qibtiyya). Thereupon Allah's Messenger said to 'Ali: Go and strike his neck. 'Ali came to him and he found him in a well making his body cool. 'Ali said to him: Come out, and as he took hold of his hand and brought him out, he found that his sexual organ had been cut. Hadrat 'Ali refrained from striking his neck. He came to Allah's Apostle and said: Allah's Messenger, he has not even the sexual organ with him}}{{Quote|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20211010105134/https://islamweb.net/ar/library/index.php?page=bookcontents&flag=1&bk_no=74&ID=6740 Al-Mustadrak 'ala al-Sahihayn (Arabic: المستدرك على الصحيحين) by Imam Hakim]|2=«عن عايشة قالت : اهديت مارية إلى رسول اللّه ومعها ابن عم لها . قالت : فوقع عليها وقعة فاستمرت حاملا . قالت : فعز لها عند ابن عمها . قالت : فقال اهل الافك والزور : «من حاجته إلى الولد ادعى ولد غيره» وكانت امّه قليلة اللبن فابتاعت له ضائنة لبون فكان يغذى بلبنها فحسن عليه لحمه . قالت عايشة : فدخل به علىّ النبى صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ذات يوم فقال : «كيف ترين»؟ فقلت : من غذى بلحم الضأن يحسن لحمه . قال : «ولا الشبه» قالت : فحملنى ما يحمل النساء من الغيرة أن قلت : ما أرى شبها . قالت : وبلغ رسول اللّه ما يقول الناس فقال لعلى ... ». </br> Aisha said: " Maria" was presented to the prophet of Islam (as a slave woman) and her cousin (a coptic male slave) was with her. After a while Maria became pregnant. Upon that, the people started slandering that since he [the prophet of Islam] needed child, he related the son of that slave-man to himself. Since Maria, as a mother didn’t have enough breast milk, they fed him by sheep 's milk that’s why he (the son Ibrahim) was fat. 'Aisha said: Once the prophet brought him to me and asked what I thought about him, I replied, "everyone fed by sheep 's milk will get fat." The holy prophet said doesn’t he look like me? '''Aisha said, "I jealously said "No" ." and then the prophet heard of the untrue accusations of people to toward Maria. Upon that the prophet sent Ali to kill her cousin ...'''}} | |||
He was even doubtful after that too, and angel Jibrael had to come and confirm him that Ibrahim was indeed his child. | |||

Upon that angel Jibrael came to him and said: Peace be upon you, O the Father of Ibrahim (i.e. confirmed to him that Ibrahim was indeed his son).}} | |||
Muhammad is criticized here why he didn't give that coptic slave a fair chance for a fair trail in the court, and why didn't he ask the people (who were slandering) to bring the 4 eye witnesses for the fornication. Moreover, the punishment of fornication of slaves is half in Sharia (i.e. even the court could have punished him for maximum 50 lashes and not for death as Muhammad ordered it). | |||
Moreover, Muhammad is also criticized for not lashing those Sahaba (companions) with 80 lashes who made the false accusations of fornication against him and Maria. It is called حد القذف in Islam. Muhammad did the same in case of 'Aisha (i.e. he lashed all those Sahaba 80 times who made false accusation of fornication against 'Aisha) in the incident of IFK. | |||
