According to the traditional narrative, Muhammad died as a result of poisoned lamb meat given to him by a Jewish woman in Khaybar. Depending on the narration her stated reason for this varies, from revenge to proving whether or not Muhammad was truly a prophet. The narratives do agree, however, that he foresaw his as the pain of the poison took hold of him, and spent his last days doing his rounds amongst his wives. They also agree that he passed away in the arms of Aisha, his most beloved wife and "umm-al-mu'minin" or mother of the believers.
