Numerous passages in the Koran show how he gradually went from slight thrusts to malicious vituperations and brutal attacks on the customs and beliefs of the Jews. Muhammad prepared a force of about 3,000 men and adopted a form of defense unknown in Arabia at that time; the Muslims dug a trench wherever Medina lay open to cavalry attack. No agreement was reached after prolonged negotiations, partly due to sabotage attempts by Muhammad's scouts. "[285] Emmanuel Pastoret published in 1787 his Zoroaster, Confucius and Muhammad, in which he presents the lives of these three "great men", "the greatest legislators of the universe", and compares their careers as religious reformers and lawgivers. [16] They also hoped, by the means of Muhammad and the new faith, to gain supremacy over Mecca; the Yathrib were jealous of its importance as the place of pilgrimage. [248], Zayd ibn Haritha was a slave that Muhammad bought, freed, and then adopted as his son. With additional support Abu Bakr was confirmed as the first caliph. [184][185] According to Sunni tafsir, the following Quranic verse was delivered during this event: "Today I have perfected your religion, and completed my favours for you and chosen Islam as a religion for you" (Quran 5:3). Whenever alliances against Medina were formed, he sent out expeditions to break them up. [16] However, the bedouins were alien to the system of Islam and wanted to maintain independence: namely their code of virtue and ancestral traditions. The Sunnah is considered a model of emulation for pious Muslims and has to a great degree influenced the Muslim culture. [199] Adherents to Wahhabism, Saud's followers, destroyed nearly every tomb dome in Medina in order to prevent their veneration,[199] and the one of Muhammad is reported to have narrowly escaped. He was taller than middling stature but shorter than conspicuous tallness. [119][120][121] Muhammad and his followers saw the victory as confirmation of their faith[16] and Muhammad ascribed the victory to the assistance of an invisible host of angels. Hadiths were compiled several generations after his death by followers including Muhammad al-Bukhari, Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, Muhammad ibn Isa at-Tirmidhi, Abd ar-Rahman al-Nasai, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Malik ibn Anas, al-Daraqutni. He is thought to be the final manifestation, or seal of the Adamic cycle, but consider his teachings to have been superseded by those of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí faith, and the first Manifestation of the current cycle. [16] Muhammad's birthday is celebrated as a major feast throughout the Islamic world, excluding Wahhabi-dominated Saudi Arabia where these public celebrations are discouraged. When he was 40, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave[8][9] and receiving his first revelation from God. [16] He presents him as a divinely inspired messenger whom God employed to confound the bickering Oriental Christians, to liberate the Orient from the despotic rule of the Romans and Persians, and to spread the knowledge of the unity of God from India to Spain. He has been asked several ... Islam teaches that if a muslim is killed by a woman, he will go to hell. [46] While many were reluctant to convert to a foreign faith, those faiths provided intellectual and spiritual reference points. With great difficulty he assembled 30,000 men; half of whom on the second day returned with Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy, untroubled by the damning verses which Muhammad hurled at them. [295] Watt and Bernard Lewis argue that viewing Muhammad as a self-seeking impostor makes it impossible to understand Islam's development. 'Umar said, "The Prophet is overcome by illness; you have the Qur'an, the Book of Allah, which is sufficient for us." He was born in Mecca as a member of the ruling Hashim clan of the tribe of Quraysh. [n 3] Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic religious belief. He also remembered where he had learned to swim. The Roman–Persian Wars between the two had devastated the region, making the empires unpopular amongst local tribes. [28] Recent studies have led scholars to distinguish between traditions touching legal matters and purely historical events. The earliest Syriac source is the 7th-century writer John bar Penkaye. "The Prophet Muhammad: A Model of Monotheistic Reform for Nineteenth-Century Ashkenaz.". Two pagans, Asma bint Marwan of the Aws Manat tribe and Abu 'Afak of the 'Amr b. [271] While both Sunnis and Shias have created images of Muhammad in the past,[272] Islamic depictions of Muhammad are rare. [113] War would later break out between the people of Mecca and the Muslims. And he asked, what part of the body of the lamb he likes better. Buhl, F.; Welch, A.T. (1993). How did the Prophet Muhammad Die? Among Arabic odes to Muhammad, Qasidat al-Burda ("Poem of the Mantle") by the Egyptian Sufi al-Busiri (1211–1294) is particularly well-known, and widely held to possess a healing, spiritual power. But anyhow, he has all these number of wives. [76] According to Welch these descriptions may be considered genuine, since they are unlikely to have been forged by later Muslims. [72] The initial revelation was followed by a three-year pause (a period known as fatra) during which Muhammad felt depressed and further gave himself to prayers and spiritual practices. [273][274] During the Ilkhanid period, when Persia's Mongol rulers converted to Islam, competing Sunni and Shi'a groups used visual imagery, including images of Muhammad, to promote their particular interpretation of Islam's key events. [290], Ian Almond says that German Romantic writers generally held positive views of Muhammad: "Goethe’s 'extraordinary' poet-prophet, Herder’s nation builder (...) Schlegel’s admiration for Islam as an aesthetic product, enviably authentic, radiantly holistic, played such a central role in his view of Mohammed as an exemplary world-fashioner that he even used it as a scale of judgement for the classical (the dithyramb, we are told, has to radiate pure beauty if it is to resemble 'a Koran of poetry'). The upper part of his nose was hooked; he was thick bearded, had smooth cheeks, a strong mouth, and his teeth were set apart. The Quranic verses of this period, unlike the Meccan verses, dealt with practical problems of government and issues like the distribution of spoils. [45] Religious divisions were an important cause of the crisis. [2][3][4][5] He is believed to be the final prophet of God in all the main branches of Islam, though some modern denominations diverge from this belief. And she was the most beloved, because she was the most beautiful of his wives, the youngest, of course. [115], In March 624, Muhammad led some three hundred warriors in a raid on a Meccan merchant caravan. [97][98] During this time, Muhammad was able to preach only during the holy pilgrimage months in which all hostilities between Arabs were suspended. [7], Muhammad's father, Abdullah, died almost six months before he was born. Towns and cities dotted the landscape; two of the most prominent being Mecca and Medina. [27], The earliest surviving written sira (biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) is Ibn Ishaq's Life of God's Messenger written c. 767 CE (150 AH). And this was why the Prophet (s) did not kill the allies of the tribe of Khazraj, but let the allies of the tribe of Aws die. [16], The Meccans were eager to avenge their defeat. [16], Muhammad instructed his followers to emigrate to Medina, until nearly all his followers left Mecca. [268][270] Today, the interdiction against images of Muhammad—designed to prevent worship of Muhammad, rather than God—is much more strictly observed in Sunni Islam (85%–90% of Muslims) and Ahmadiyya Islam (1%) than among Shias (10%–15%). [136], Abu Sufyan directed his effort towards another attack on Medina. [145] After the coalition's retreat, the Muslims accused the Banu Qurayza of treachery and besieged them in their forts for 25 days. Abu Bakr immediately moved to strike against the Byzantine (or Eastern Roman Empire) forces because of the previous defeat, although he first had to put down a rebellion by Arab tribes in an event that Muslim historians later referred to as the Ridda wars, or "Wars of Apostasy".[206]. Please note: Any comment containing profanity or hyperlinks will not be published. [16], Followers of the Baháʼí Faith venerate Muhammad as one of a number of prophets or "Manifestations of God". In June 622, warned of a plot to assassinate him, Muhammad secretly slipped out of Mecca and moved his followers to Medina,[105] 450 kilometres (280 miles) north of Mecca. The women were either widows of Muslims killed in battle and had been left without a protector, or belonged to important families or clans with whom it was necessary to honor and strengthen alliances. The Prophet Muhammad often remembered memories in Medina at that time. [287][288] Thomas Carlyle in his book Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History (1840) describes Muhammad as "[a] silent great soul; [...] one of those who cannot but be in earnest". While these continued, rumors spread that one of the Muslim negotiators, Uthman bin al-Affan, had been killed by the Quraysh. The place of his burial was decided by his saying as related by Abu Bakr (ra): “Allah does not cause a prophet to die but in the place where he is to be buried.” The Prophet lived a most simple, austere and modest life. He was bulky. "[182], In 632, at the end of the tenth year after migration to Medina, Muhammad completed his first true Islamic pilgrimage, setting precedent for the annual Great Pilgrimage, known as Hajj. [92][93][94][95] Later, the incident received some acceptance among certain groups, though strong objections to it continued onwards past the tenth century. [70] Muhammad adjusted to the new direction, and his companions praying with him followed his lead, beginning the tradition of facing Mecca during prayer. However, the Quranic sura "Al-Fath" (The Victory) (Quran 48:1–29) assured them that the expedition must be considered a victorious one. [84][176], Following the conquest of Mecca, Muhammad was alarmed by a military threat from the confederate tribes of Hawazin who were raising an army double the size of Muhammad's. [308][306] Some of them, like Thomas Aquinas, criticized Muhammad's promises of carnal pleasure in the afterlife. With Muhammad's death, disagreement broke out over who his successor would be. [82], Tradition records at great length the persecution and ill-treatment towards Muhammad and his followers. [16] While returning from one of these journeys (or some years earlier according to other early accounts), an accusation of adultery was made against Aisha, Muhammad's wife. [257] For example, many Muslim commentators and some Western scholars have interpreted the Surah 54:1–2 as referring to Muhammad splitting the Moon in view of the Quraysh when they began persecuting his followers. Muhammad Husayn Haykal says that the (fatal) sickness of the Prophet began on the morning following the night on which he had visited the cemetery, i.e., on 20th of Safar. Muhammad and many senior figures suggested it would be safer to fight within Medina and take advantage of the heavily fortified strongholds. [6] He was raised under the care of his paternal grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, and upon his death, by his uncle Abu Talib. [79] Muhammad's mission also involves preaching monotheism: The Quran commands Muhammad to proclaim and praise the name of his Lord and instructs him not to worship idols or associate other deities with God. [71] He also feared that others would dismiss his claims as being possessed. Mohammed ate a little piece and stopped. [62], Several years later, according to a narration collected by historian Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad was involved with a well-known story about setting the Black Stone in place in the wall of the Kaaba in 605 CE. He foretold his own demise. "[285] Napoleon Bonaparte admired Muhammad and Islam,[286] and described him as a model lawmaker and a great man. Two months later, Prophet Muhammad (s) fell ill and after several days died on Monday, 12 Rabi al-Awwal, the eleventh year after Hijra (June 8, … Muslims believe it represents the words of God revealed by the archangel Gabriel to Muhammad. The description given in Muhammad ibn Isa at-Tirmidhi's book Shama'il al-Mustafa, attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib and Hind ibn Abi Hala is as follows:[217][218][219]. When Saud bin Abdul-Aziz took Medina in 1805, Muhammad's tomb was stripped of its gold and jewel ornamentation. [16], In the same year, Muhammad organized an attack against northern Arabia because of their previous defeat at the Battle of Mu'tah and reports of hostility adopted against Muslims. These benefits included the requirement of the Meccans to identify Muhammad as an equal, cessation of military activity allowing Medina to gain strength, and the admiration of Meccans who were impressed by the pilgrimage rituals. It was the tenth year of Hijrat. [138] One example is the assassination of Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, a chieftain of the Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir. Prophet received the last revelation during this pilgrimage. [61], Little is known of Muhammad during his later youth as available information is fragmented, making it difficult to separate history from legend. Muhammad evaded them by taking a more difficult route, enabling his followers to reach al-Hudaybiyya just outside Mecca. In his view, Islam is a great change, akin to a revolution, when introduced to new societies. Muhammad retracted the verses the next day at the behest of Gabriel, claiming that the verses were whispered by the devil himself. Aisha reported, "I saw the Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over)". Eleven of the thirteen marriages occurred after the migration to Medina. Muhammad called upon the pilgrims to make a pledge not to flee (or to stick with Muhammad, whatever decision he made) if the situation descended into war with Mecca. The greeting that Muhammad taught Muslims to offer each other, "may peace be upon you" (Arabic: as-salamu 'alaykum) is used by Muslims throughout the world. The increasing bitterness of this vituperation, which was similarly directed against the less numerous Christians of Medina, indicated that in time Muhammad would not hesitate to proceed to actual hostilities. [243][244][245], Khadijah is said to have had four daughters with Muhammad (Ruqayyah bint Muhammad, Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad, Zainab bint Muhammad, Fatimah Zahra) and two sons (Abd-Allah ibn Muhammad and Qasim ibn Muhammad, who both died in childhood). The Prophet was buried the next day at the same place where he died. Stories of Muhammad's life, his intercession and of his miracles have permeated popular Muslim thought and poetry. [196] Among tombs adjacent to that of Muhammad are those of his companions (Sahabah), the first two Muslim caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar, and an empty one that Muslims believe awaits Jesus. Muhammad[n 1] (Arabic: مُحَمَّد‎, pronounced [muħammad];[n 2] c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE)[1] was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of Islam. In the space of ten years he took twelve or thirteen wives and had several concubines: even the faithful were scandalized, and the prophet had to resort to alleged special revelations from God to justify his conduct. He is also said to have had accustomed his wives to dialogue; he listened to their advice, and the wives debated and even argued with him. During the twenty-five years of his union with Ḥadijah Muhammad had no other wife; but scarcely two months had elapsed after her death (619) when he married Sauda, the widow of Sakran, who, with her husband, had become an early convert to Islam and who was one of the emigrants to Abyssinia. [229] Modern Muslim authors who calculate Aisha's age based on other sources of information, such as a hadith about the age difference between Aisha and her sister Asma, estimate that she was over thirteen and perhaps in her late teens at the time of her marriage.[238][239][240][241][242]. [3] One fatwa writes: Three goddesses were revered as God's daughters: Allāt, Manāt and al-'Uzzá. [82], According to Ibn Saad, opposition in Mecca started when Muhammad delivered verses that condemned idol worship and the polytheism practiced by the Meccan forefathers. So this event took place four years before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died. His hair reached beyond the lobe of his ear. The pre-Islamic Middle East was dominated by the Byzantine and Sassanian empires. {Jesus, in God’s view, is the same as Adam, whom He had created from dust and said to him: ‘Be’, and he was there. [146][147] Walid N. Arafat and Barakat Ahmad have disputed the accuracy of Ibn Ishaq's narrative. [48] To counter the effects of anarchy, Quraysh upheld the institution of sacred months during which all violence was forbidden, and it was possible to participate in pilgrimages and fairs without danger. [65][66], Muhammad began to pray alone in a cave named Hira on Mount Jabal al-Nour, near Mecca for several weeks every year. Instead, a ridicule of these gods was offered. They indicate that both Jews and Christians saw Muhammad as a false prophet. [172] Most Meccans converted to Islam and Muhammad proceeded to destroy all the statues of Arabian gods in and around the Kaaba. [127] According to al-Waqidi, after Abd-Allah ibn Ubaiy spoke for them, Muhammad refrained from executing them and commanded that they be exiled from Medina. This version adds: So a Jewess presented him at … The year was 632 A.D. Hazrat Muhammad went for Hajj with their more than one lakh followers. Muhammad took this opportunity to look for a new home for himself and his followers. [211][page needed] He was from afar the most beautiful of men and the most glorious, and close up he was the sweetest and the loveliest. [149] Ahmad argues that only some of the tribe were killed, while some of the fighters were merely enslaved. [118] Seventy prisoners had been acquired, many of whom were ransomed. "[285] Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in his Social Contract (1762), "brushing aside hostile legends of Muhammad as a trickster and impostor, presents him as a sage legislator who wisely fused religious and political powers. [51] He belonged to the Banu Hashim clan, part of the Quraysh tribe, and was one of Mecca's prominent families, although it appears less prosperous during Muhammad's early lifetime. The Banu Hawazin were old enemies of the Meccans. [142], With the help of the exiled Banu Nadir, the Quraysh military leader Abu Sufyan mustered a force of 10,000 men. When he walked, he walked as though he went down a declivity. [39] Shi'a tradition states Muhammad was not surprised or frightened at Gabriel's appearance; rather he welcomed the angel, as if he was expected. [85][86], In 615, some of Muhammad's followers emigrated to the Ethiopian Kingdom of Aksum and founded a small colony under the protection of the Christian Ethiopian emperor Aṣḥama ibn Abjar. These are honorific titles in Arabic, sharif meaning 'noble' and sayed or sayyid meaning 'lord' or 'sir'. The last city to hold out against the Muslims in Western Arabia was Taif. [24][25], Important sources regarding Muhammad's life may be found in the historic works by writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries of the Muslim era (AH – 8th and 9th century CE). Muhammad refused to accept the city's surrender until they agreed to convert to Islam and allowed men to destroy the statue of their goddess Al-Lat. The conquest went largely uncontested and Muhammad seized the city with little bloodshed. And then they told the other shoulder. The aorta is the vein that is towards the back and is connected to the heart; if it is cut then the person will die. Mohammad can be compared to being a celebrity and being a celebrity means you make enemies, eventually those enemies catch you off guard. He was sweet of speech and articulate, but not petty or trifling. [200] Similar events took place in 1925, when the Saudi militias retook—and this time managed to keep—the city. In Sahih Muslim, there is a famous tradition narrated by Ibn 'Abbas saying: Three days before the Prophet's death, 'Umar ibn al­Khattab and other companions were present by his side. They were brought out to him in groups. [272] Illustrated accounts of the night journey (mi'raj) were particularly popular from the Ilkhanid period through the Safavid era. "[292], Recent writers such as William Montgomery Watt and Richard Bell dismiss the idea that Muhammad deliberately deceived his followers, arguing that Muhammad "was absolutely sincere and acted in complete good faith"[293] and Muhammad's readiness to endure hardship for his cause, with what seemed to be no rational basis for hope, shows his sincerity. The Prophet said, "Now let me write something for you whereby you shall not go astray after me." [152], In the siege of Medina, the Meccans exerted the available strength to destroy the Muslim community. [251], In Islamic belief, Muhammad is regarded as the last prophet sent by God. In the month of Shawwal 628, Muhammad ordered his followers to obtain sacrificial animals and to prepare for a pilgrimage (umrah) to Mecca, saying that God had promised him the fulfillment of this goal in a vision when he was shaving his head after completion of the Hajj. [87], However, there is a completely different story on the reason why the Muslims returned from Ethiopia to Mecca. [57] According to Islamic tradition, soon after birth he was sent to live with a Bedouin family in the desert, as desert life was considered healthier for infants; some western scholars reject this tradition's historicity. [212] The Quran requires payment of an alms tax (zakat) for the benefit of the poor; as Muhammad's power grew he demanded that tribes who wished to ally with him implement the zakat in particular.[213][214]. He put a lot of poison in that. His complexion was azhar [bright, luminous]. [194][197][198] Three months after performing his first and final pilgrimage, the Prophet (SAW) began to experience a severe headache followed by a high fever. (1933) The Life of Muhammad, translated by Isma'il Razi A. al-Faruqi. [154][229][231][232][233][234][235][236][237] She was therefore a virgin at marriage. The outbreak of the latter was deferred by the fact that the hatred of the prophet was turned more forcibly in another direction, namely, against the people of Mecca, whose earlier refusal of Islam and whose attitude toward the community appeared to him at Medina as a personal insult which constituted a sufficient cause for war. Al-Ashraf went to Mecca and wrote poems that roused the Meccans' grief, anger and desire for revenge after the Battle of Badr. As they were being taken in groups to the Messenger of God, they said to Ka’b b. Asad, "Ka’b, what do you understand. At about the same time Muhammad contracted an engagement with 'A'ishah, the six-year-old daughter of Abu Bakr, and married her shortly after his arrival at Medina. And when he died, she told everybody, "Mohammed is dead." He was not marred by a skinny body, nor was he overly small in the head and neck. Furthermore, in the lands that would be conquered by Muslims many Christians (Nestorians, Monophysites, Jacobites and Copts) were disaffected from the Eastern Orthodox Church which deemed them heretics. Many earlier (primarily non-Islamic) traditions refer to him as still alive at the time of the, Esposito (1998), p. 12; (1999) p. 25; (2002) pp. A question and answer forum on a wide range of Islamic issues and topics. Muhammad is said to have asked for arrangements to marry both. It is said that Muhammad rejected the offer and prayed for the guidance of the people of Ta'if. How and when did Prophet Muhammad die?, Prophet Muhammad PBUH died on the day of Monday 12th date of Rabiul Awwal the 11th year of the Hijrat at the age of 63 years and 4 days old He was the best creation of God sent to [46], During the early years of Muhammad's life, the Quraysh tribe to which he belonged became a dominant force in western Arabia. [192] He was buried where he died in Aisha's house. Pastoret writes that the common accusations of his immorality are unfounded: on the contrary, his law enjoins sobriety, generosity, and compassion on his followers: the "legislator of Arabia" was "a great man. [296][297] Alford T. Welch holds that Muhammad was able to be so influential and successful because of his firm belief in his vocation. [20] The Quran also addresses Muhammad in the second person by various appellations; prophet, messenger, servant of God ('abd), announcer (bashir),[Quran 2:119] witness (shahid),[Quran 33:45] bearer of good tidings (mubashshir), warner (nathir),[Quran 11:2] reminder (mudhakkir),[Quran 88:21] one who calls [unto God] (dā'ī),[Quran 12:108] light personified (noor),[Quran 05:15] and the light-giving lamp (siraj munir). [148] Arafat believes that Ibn Ishaq's Jewish sources, speaking over 100 years after the event, conflated this account with memories of earlier massacres in Jewish history; he notes that Ibn Ishaq was considered an unreliable historian by his contemporary Malik ibn Anas, and a transmitter of "odd tales" by the later Ibn Hajar. Although the work was lost, this sira was used at great length by Ibn Hisham and to a lesser extent by Al-Tabari. [32] Scholars such as Madelung do not reject the narrations which have been compiled in later periods, but judge them in the context of history and on the basis of their compatibility with the events and figures. (2003). All but one of his daughters, Fatimah, died before him. [53][54][55] Once I saw him in a red cloak and I had never seen anyone more handsome than him. Every Muslim proclaims in Shahadah: "I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is a Messenger of God." And when he died, he died with Aysha because she was the most beloved. His speech was a string of cascading pearls, measured so that none despaired of its length, and no eye challenged him because of brevity. In the legal group, traditions could have been subject to invention while historic events, aside from exceptional cases, may have been only subject to "tendential shaping". [16][163][164] He sent messengers (with letters) to Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire (the eastern Roman Empire), Khosrau of Persia, the chief of Yemen and to some others. However, almost all Muslims managed to leave. After migration to Medina, Muhammad, who was then in his fifties, married several more women. Many bedouins submitted to Muhammad to safeguard against his attacks and to benefit from the spoils of war. According to William Montgomery Watt, religion for Muhammad was not a private and individual matter but "the total response of his personality to the total situation in which he found himself. There is indeed difference of opinion regarding the exact date when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) died. There they lived in one of the houses of the Bani Najjar. To maintain economic prosperity, the Meccans needed to restore their prestige, which had been reduced at Badr. [163][164] In the years following the truce of Hudaybiyya, Muhammad directed his forces against the Arabs on Transjordanian Byzantine soil in the Battle of Mu'tah. [258][259] Western historian of Islam Denis Gril believes the Quran does not overtly describe Muhammad performing miracles, and the supreme miracle of Muhammad is identified with the Quran itself. Muhammad's attempts to prevent a confederation against him were unsuccessful, though he was able to increase his own forces and stopped many potential tribes from joining his enemies. [183] He abolished old blood feuds and disputes based on the former tribal system and asked for old pledges to be returned as implications of the creation of the new Islamic community. [179][180][181], A year after the Battle of Tabuk, the Banu Thaqif sent emissaries to surrender to Muhammad and adopt Islam. In 613,[10] Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly,[11] proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "submission" (islām) to God[12] is the right way of life (dīn),[13] and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam. The revelations (each known as Ayah — literally, "Sign [of God]") that Muhammad reported receiving until his death form the verses of the Quran, regarded by Muslims as the verbatim "Word of God" on which the religion is based.
