This argument utilizes the highest-graded Islamic sources to suggest that Muhammad’s spiritual discernment and physical actions were compromised by external forces as they admit he succumbed to black magic, causing hallucinations that undermine his claim to divine protection.
Al-Tabari, Tarikh al-Rusul wa’l-Muluk (History of the Prophets and Kings), Vol. 6, pp. 108–110 (Dar al-Kutub edition).
The biography of the Prophet by Ibn Ishaq (the earliest biographer) has that Muhammad reportedly recited verses honoring al-Lāt, al-‘Uzzā, and Manāt, which he later retracted, saying: “Satan cast upon my tongue words I did not intend.”
Surah 53:19–20 is where the insertion occurred. Surah, 22:52 is the Quranic "justification" for this event, stating that Satan throws "vanity" into the desires of every messenger.The Satanic verses that werre abrogated (Removed as nothing replaced them).
Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 71, Hadith 658 (also in Sahih Muslim, Book 26, Hadith 5436):
“The Prophet was bewitched so that he began to imagine that he had done something which in fact he had not done.”
This hadith undermines Muhammad’s claim to unbroken divine inspiration. If a messenger cannot distinguish the voice of the Holy Spirit from the voice of Satan during the delivery of a Surah, the objective "purity" of the entire Quran is compromised.
Muhammad was tempted and was deceived according to Islam's own "inspired" sources. Jesus tempted by Satan THREE times after fasting for 40 days in the Wilderness. He rebiked Satan and he fled away after being rebuked.
Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:54:490 and 7:71:658; Sahih Muslim, 26:5436.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Commentary on Surah 113 and 114).
These Sahih (authentic) Hadiths state that a Jewish man named Labid b. al-A'sam used "knot-magic" to bewitch Muhammad. The spell lasted for weeks or months, during which he "imagined he had done something which he had not done" (specifically regarding relations with his wives).
Surah 113:4 mentions "the evil of those who blow on knots," which Ibn Kathir identifies as the specific magic used against the Prophet.
A man under a "delusion" or "imagination" caused by a sorcerer is, by definition, not in full control of his faculties. This validates the Meccan skeptics in Surah 17:47, who claimed he was a "bewitched man" (rajulan mashuran).
A prophet who loses his "sound mind" to a sorcerer’s spell (as in Surah 113:4) fails the Biblical test of spiritual authority.
2 Timothy 1:7:"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control"
In Matthew 16:23, when Peter spoke out of turn, Jesus immediately identified the source ("Get behind me, Satan!"). There was no period of "abrogation" or months of confusion; the discernment was instant.
1 John 4:4: "Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
Paul warns specifically against "angels from heaven" bringing new gospels. The "Angel" in the cave (Hira) must be tested by the result: a message that removes the Cross.
Galatians 1:8–9: “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.”
Even the manner of the death of Muhammad by poison, mirrors the warning in Deuteronomy 18:20, where the prophet who speaks in the name of other gods (as in the Satanic Verses) or speaks what God has not commanded "shall die.
