The Satanic Verses incident has been recorded in four early major [[Sirat Rasul Allah|biographies of Muhammad]]; al-Waqidi, Ibn Saad, al-Tabari,<ref>Al-Tabari (838? – 923 A.D.), The History of al-Tabari (Ta’rikh al-rusul wa’l-muluk), Vol. VI: Muhammad at Mecca, pp. 107-112. Translated by W. M. Watt and M.V. McDonald, State University of New York Press, Albany, NY, 1988, ISBN: 0-88706-707-7, pp. 107-112.</ref> and Ibn Ishaq | The Satanic Verses incident is reported in the [[tafsir]] and the sira-maghazi [[literature]] dating from the first two centuries of Islam, and is reported in the respective tafsīr corpuses transmitted from almost every Qur'anic commentator of note in the first two centuries of the hijra. It seems to have constituted a standard element in the memory of the early Muslim community about the life of Muhammad.<ref>Ahmed, Shahab (2008), "[http://www.brillonline.nl/subscriber/entry?entry=q3_SIM-00372 Satanic Verses]", in Dammen McAuliffe, Jane, ''Encyclopaedia of the Qurʾān'', Georgetown University, Washington DC: Brill (published 14 August 2008)</ref> | ||
It has also been recorded in four early major [[Sirat Rasul Allah|biographies of Muhammad]]; al-Waqidi,<ref name="Uri">Rubin, Uri (14 August 2008), "[http://www.brillonline.nl/subscriber/entry?entry=q3_COM-00126 Muhammad]", in Dammen McAuliffe, Jane, ''Encyclopaedia of the Qurʾān'', Georgetown University, Washington DC: Brill</ref> Ibn Saad,<ref name="Uri"></ref> al-Tabari,<ref>Al-Tabari (838? – 923 A.D.), The History of al-[[Tabari]] (Ta’rikh al-rusul wa’l-muluk), Vol. VI: Muhammad at Mecca, pp. 107-112.

Guillaume, Oxford University Press, Oxford, England, (Re-issued in Karachi, Pakistan, 1967, 13th impression, 1998) 1955, p. 146-148.</ref> and is indirectly and in part referred to in al-Tirmidhi and [[Sahih]] Bukhari, where it is recorded that Muhammad performed a prostration when he finished reciting [[The Holy Qur'an: An-Najm (The Star)|Surat-an-Najm]], and all the Muslims and pagans prostrated along with him.<ref>"''Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet performed a prostration when he finished reciting Surat-an-Najm, and all the Muslims and pagans and Jinns and human beings prostrated along with him.''" - {{Bukhari|6|60|385}}</ref> Since in today's Qur'an, the pagans goddesses are attacked in that particular [[Surah]], pagans and Muslims prostrating together would only make sense if the account of the Satanic Verses incident were true. | |||
