17 Sep 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Does the hadith that the Prophet died of poison contradict the Quran? Yes, in Mufti Abu Layth's view: the Quran promises that Allah will protect the Prophet from the people, and it describes cutting the aorta as the punishment for one who forges revelation, so a report that the Prophet died that way humiliates him.

17 Sep 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Why should Muslims reject the hadith that the Prophet died of poison?
