 There were many attempts on the Prophet's life. The most famous attempt on the Prophet's life was when he left Mecca in the middle of the night and headed towards Medina, where he ordered Imam Ali to sleep in his bed and he left in the middle of the night, he was accompanied by Abu Bakr, Abu Bakr decided to join him. They ran and they were being chased out of, they were being followed because they went to the Prophet's house to assassinate him. They found Imam Ali in his bed and they said, oh this is Ali, this is not Rasulullah, so they went looking for him and they found the trail and they followed the trail into the mountains, into the caves and this is where the spider made a web and the people saw the web and thought, okay, if he had gone through here the web would have broken, so he's not been there, so this was an attempt on the Prophet's life, so it's not the first time people have tried to kill the Prophet, the question arises that why would people want to kill the Prophet, well first of all you have to understand that the Prophet was seen as a revolutionist, someone who was rebelling against society and was causing a change in the social hierarchy. Obviously people had a way of life and had a set of beliefs and those set of beliefs were making them a lot of money. The Kaaba was full of idols, people all over the world would come to Mecca to worship these idols and to do Tawaf and spend money. That's been turned around now, all those idols have been smashed, now people who used to make idols have lost out on their business. People who would make money off the pilgrims that were coming to Mecca are not making as much money now because obviously idols aren't being sold, dresses and clothes aren't being bought. And now this person called Muhammad has created this new religion, a new religion that has one God, a new religion that has equality, has social equality, has man and woman seen as equals and given them proper responsibilities and proper code of conduct. And this is seen as a threat to the upper class in Mecca, this is seen as a threat to the upper class of the pagans and those who were benefiting from the previous religions are not benefiting anymore, not making as much money and they saw their traditional ways, they saw their culture and they saw their business collapse in front of Rasool Allah. And this is why they did whatever they could to stop the propagation of Islam and to stop this Islamic movement and to take the life of Rasool Allah. There were some attempts on killing Rasool Allah that historians agree upon. One of them is on his way back from the battle of Tabuk. The battle of Tabuk occurred in the year 9 after Hijrah and it is the last battle the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi participated in himself. He went with the Muslims and he took about 30,000 Muslims with him. It was a big battle because the Roman Caesar had lined up his forces across the boundaries of the Islamic area or the Islamic state at the time. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi leaves with all Muslims leaving Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib sallallahu alayhi wa sallam alayhi in Medina. Every time the Prophet left Medina he would leave someone and appoints him as a successor until he kind of comes back or at least appoints him not as a successor but maybe more accurately as a leader until he comes back. The dynamics in the year 9 after Hijrah were such that the hypocrites in Medina were really cooking a lot of things up. They started establishing what the Quran refers to as Masjid al-Ziraar. Masjid al-Ziraar they built just across from Masjid Quba. And the idea that they had for building it in front of the Muslims they said Masjid Quba is a small Masjid. Masjid Quba is the first Masjid that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi established in Islam. They said it's a small Masjid. Now the Muslims have increased in numbers we're going to build a bigger Masjid. And one with better roofing you know more space. That was the excuse they came up. However the real essence of Masjid al-Ziraar was to make it as a spying cell. It is not inside Medina so people cannot really see them and it's not that far away from Medina. So they thought this was a strategic place for them to keep this you know operational spying agency. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi knew of this but he did not get the opportunity and the time to deal with it. So he had to leave it and to go to Tabuk. So the hypocrites of Medina now are cooking and all these hypocrites were people who used to be with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi. These were people who for example used to even pray next to Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi or with Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi. So these were people who on the outside they're Muslims. And that's why we cannot say that all those people who were with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi were infallible. All those people who were with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi were genuine. So the Prophet had to leave Madinah. Now he could not leave Madinah in the hands of someone who is weak or someone who does not have a good strategy or someone who does not have good essence of politics or someone who does not have really good command of faith and religion. The only person who unites all these factors was Amir al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib, salawatullahi wa salamuhu alayh. So when he leaves Imam Ali, then it is as if Rasulullah sallallahu alayh himself is there because the ayah of the Quran wa anfusana wa anfusakum ourselves and yourselves, Imam Ali is the essence of Rasulullah sallallahu alayh. The hypocrites knew that every time the Prophet leaves to a battle, Imam Ali is always with him. They never even thought that the Prophet would leave Ibn Abi Talib alayh, salam behind. So the Prophet leaves Imam Ali behind. And now when they saw that, they became very upset because their whole plans failed. Now they knew they cannot do anything with Ali ibn Abi Talib alayh salam being there and there is that famous hadith because the hypocrites started cooking up some rumors that the Prophet left Ali because he doesn't like him or because the war is so intense and he left Ali with the women and the children. So Imam Ali alayh salam came up just after the Prophet had just departed Medina so he came up with him to him, caught up to him and said, Ya Rasulullah, this is what the people in Medina are saying. He said don't worry about what they're saying. And this hadith is mentioned just this part of the hadith says you are to me like Haroon is to Musa except there is no Prophet after me. This part of the hadith is mentioned even in Sahih al-Bukhari. And the Imam then goes back to Medina. That hadith was heard by people when the Prophet said you are to me like Aaron was to Musa or Haroon was to Musa. Haroon was the successor of Musa, the Prophet Musa tells Haroon. So people heard that, oh wait a minute, this is now officially he's kind of or at least semi-officially he's declaring Ali as the successor. So the Prophet leaves to the Battle of Tabukh, Imam Ali stays in Medina. He goes and by that year, the year 9 after Hijrah, we're talking about after the conquest of Mecca. With the conquest of Mecca that same year in the year 8 after Hijrah also happened the Battle of Hunayn where Al-Ta'if was also taken care of. Al-Ta'if and Mecca were both what we call today superpowers. When Muslims managed to take over these superpowers, it means that Islam now is dominant. So the hypocrites who had maybe some planning or plots to gain power now saw this as the best opportunity. Islam is now dominating, that's it. Now it's the time to take the reins in our hands. So with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali going to Tabukh and Alhamdulillah the Muslims you know by the time they arrived at the borders the Caesar, the Roman Caesar have withdrew his forces so the people got scared. His people got scared. And the Prophet asked the Muslims would you want to go inside? Should we chase them? Should we go inside and fight? Or should we just move back? They said ya agha sallallahu as we scared them away and it's really hot, it's difficult. So let's go back. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali agreed with them. But what that established is those small communities who had allies with the Roman Caesar they broke their allies with the Romans and they established allies with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali. This allies is extremely important this alliance because it showed the power of Muslims. These people even though they may not have come under like they did not turn to Islam as a religion however they turned to Islam as a protection. So they came under the umbrella. These alliances showed the dominance of Islam the strength of Islam and the Muslims. The Prophet then starts heading back to Medina. They come across an area where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali says I'm going to take a route with Ammar and Hudayfah. They will be with me, Ammar ibn Yasir and Hudayfah. The rest of the Muslims take a different route and I will see you at a well. There is a well up there. Why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali take that route? How come? Why did he kind of break away from the Muslims? Maybe he wanted to demonstrate to the Muslims that there are those who are plotting his killing because that's when the problem happened. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali keeps continues on his journey with Ammar and Hudayfah on his path. All of a sudden at night 14 or 16 masked men, you know they covered their faces, come and their intention was to push the camel of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali into the valley so the Prophet gets killed. The Prophet gets killed. People would say that you know what? He got killed. Some people attacked him since he did not really declare anyone as his successor. Therefore we're going to have an election and a vote and I guess there was a plan or a plot I should say to kind of take the Khilafah. These people come. Interestingly nobody knew that the Prophet had taken this route except those Muslims who were with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali. So the Prophet takes this route. These 12, 14, 16 men came out. They started fighting with Ammar and Hudayfah and they defended Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali fiercely that these 14 men or 16 men ran away. Their plan failed. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali asked Ammar and Hudayfah did you see who they were? They said Ya Rasulullah it was dark plus they had their faces covered. The Prophet then calls upon Hudayfah and he says Ya Hudayfah do you want me to tell you their names but with the condition that you never mentioned their names to anyone. It's a secret. He said Ya Rasulullah and the Prophet whispers their names in his ear and hence Hudayfah became known as the carrier of the secret of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali. And interestingly they used to say that whenever there was a death of one of the people of Medina people say we would want to see if Hudayfah attends the Salat ul Mayit. If he attends it means this person was not a hypocrite. If he doesn't show up they start having a doubt because he knows who the hypocrites are. So that is an assassination attempt against Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali the Prophet knew who these people were and apparently they were from these Muslims. We can say from an investigation point of view that all Muslims are guilty or at least they're all suspect. They're all suspect with the exception of Ammar and Hudayfah because they were with Ali ibn Abi Talib, they were with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali and Ali ibn Abi Talib also because he was in Medina. With the exception of these three all Muslims are suspects because they were all in this army. The interesting thing is one of those Muslims one day after the departure of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali a few years later comes and asks Hudayfah Am I one of those people? Did the Prophet mention my name? The question is why would he ask? If he was sure that he was not one of them why would he ask? Why would he come to Hudayfah and Hudayfah replied I'm sorry I told Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali I promised him I would never break that secret. This incident is mentioned in most of the books of history Seerat ibn Hosham this hadith is mentioned in these references people of history I mean just look up look up the assassination of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali in the battle of Tabuk or an attempt to assassinate Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali in the battle of Tabuk and you'll see the story. So there has been attempt by some hypocrites or some individuals to assassinate Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali and therefore it may not be a surprise that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali had died in unnatural ways maybe by giving poison for example So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali used to fall ill simply because his immune system needed developing and building so Allah swt would allow for him to get ill so that his immune system would go up so that his body could develop for example you can't expect an infallible when he's born as a child to have a fully grown body or muscles or developed body to human perfection doesn't work like that it has to go through stages just like normal human beings same with the imam the imam and also with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wali as he was growing Allah swt allowed him to get ill a lot more frequently for him to build his immune system stronger than an ordinary human being so he was the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali used to get ill in order for his body to progress and for him to build his immune system to be greater than an ordinary human being do we have any evidences or any examples of course the famous du'a of joshina kabeer if you read joshina kabeer and read the history behind it why was that du'a there, what did it come for the du'a was there when the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali was at war and he put on this armor the armor was so heavy and the Rasulullah he felt ill he put it on and it was heavy he couldn't move properly it was extremely heavy it was extremely difficult for him physically to hold it that he started to get fevers he started to lose strength he started to get ill and then this du'a came down to recite and order for him to recover and to strengthen his body in order for him to wear that armor for war not to also forget that every time Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wali felt the wahi when revelation was delivered to him he would say it was like a loud ringing bell he would have, you have to understand that this is nul, this is knowledge of the heavens entering his heart he had to be very physically strong and he'd be like this and he'd break out into sweats he'd break out into fevers sometimes they say he even used to have little fits or something he'd be on the floor trying to contain this knowledge this nul that was entering his heart which also caused him to feel ill at times but the more and more it happened stronger and stronger he got so yeah, it's not a surprise to us that the Prophet fell ill at all in today's world many Muslims know very little about the history of their Prophet the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad Peace, Pappin Hamam and his pure family and they don't know much about his assassination or being killed or did he died a national death let's pay attention to the verses in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Imran verse 144 Allah SWT says وَمَا مُحَمَّدُونِ إِلَّا رَسُولِ قَدْخَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهُ الْرُسُولِ أَفَ إِمَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَةِ اِنْ قَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى عَقَابِكُمْ now the Quran says and Muhammad Peace, Pappin Hamam and his pure family is but a messenger messengers have passed away before him if he dies or is killed you will turn back on your heels now let's stop on the section أَفَ إِمَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَةِ if he died or killed now the conjunctive or or in Arabic has two meanings the or other it means uncertainty to be unsure of something so if I say tomorrow I will go to the mosque or to do some shopping for example so I'm not sure tomorrow am I going to go to the mosque or to the shopping but in Arabic there's another meaning for the conjunctive or or which means rather بال so in this holy verse Allah SWT He does not have any uncertainty or he's not unsure because Allah SWT He's the creator and he knows about everything inside out so it's impossible on Allah SWT to hesitate there's actually another verse in the Holy Quran in the Surah As-Safat verse 147 Allah says with regard to the story of Prophet Yunus he says again Allah used the conjunctive or he says and we sent him to a hundred thousand or more or more now as we've cleared out the issue of that Allah SWT he won't be in a position of uncertainty and such things is away from Allah SWT so the use of or here means rather and in Arabic means it's hundred thousand rather it's more because Allah SWT knows everything all that counts and the statistics of everything in this world so it's forbidden on Allah to be in the position of uncertainty so he knows exactly how many people that he sent Yunus to so we come up with the conclusion on these verses that or means rather or which means indeed he was killed if he died rather indeed surely he was killed now why Allah SWT uses this type of wordings instead of he would have said he was killed straight away or it was with regard to Yunus hundred and thirty thousand straight this actually requires a special research and lecture but in overall Allah SWT is wise he knows why and where and how to use these wordings and conjunctives now we begin with the Hadith of the Nonshi'ah, the Sunnah in other words with regard to the martyrdom of the Prophet SAW we look at the example of Ahmed Ibn Hanbal who reported that Abdullah bin Mas'ud a well-known companion and a narrator in the time of the Prophet SAW he reports the fact that he says I am willing to take an oath nine times for what for what reason that he is going to take oath to Allah nine times for what reason that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family was murdered and this is mentioned in the Sunni sources he was killed indeed he was killed and Ibn Mas'ud is swearing to Allah or having the oath that he was murdered, he was killed and then he says but I am not willing to take an oath even once that he was not killed so a clear this Hadith tells us that there's a great possibility that the Prophet was assassinated but the whole issue and the debate about the how and where and why he was killed SAW now we look at the scenario of the Ahlus Sunni scholars with regard to the killing of the Prophet SAW their story is that the Prophet after the Battle of Khaybar in the seventh year of Hijrah he was invited by a Jewish woman for banquet to have a dinner and she cooked meat and poisoned that meat they invite the Prophet and his companions to come eat she makes lamb and she poisons the lamb the Prophet takes a bite from it realizes that it's poisoned he tells the companions not to eat from that lamb and he goes away, he doesn't touch the lamb anymore and then years later the poison has affected his digestive system has damaged his digestive system and in the space of what from seventh Hijrah to eleventh Hijrah was when the Prophet departed so four years four and a half years this infection or this sort of medical issue has caused the Prophet to die now according to the Shia school of thought number one this didn't happen because no authentic narrations declare that this happened secondly if it did happen number one we are not allowed to eat kosher meat this is forbidden and the Rasulullah SAW would not eat kosher meat thirdly if it wasn't kosher and it was halal then the lady who gave it was Muslim not Jewish and if she's a Muslim why would she want to kill the Prophet also why and how can poison take up to four years four and a half years to kill someone it doesn't make sense the Prophet being so strong the Prophet being having such a developed immune system the Prophet having the most perfect diet the most perfect health someone who prescribes us to drink honey and milk you know for our cures someone who prescribes us to eat fruits certain fruits certain veg especially dates for our health benefits someone who's so health conscious and someone who's so healthy how can such a poison take four years to actually kill him off it doesn't make sense if there was any poison that he did eat he would have died within a week two weeks if it was strong enough to kill him two days if it was strong enough to cause damage it would have caused damage but the Prophet after that would have healed right the damage wouldn't have been permanent damage he would have healed and he would have come back to normal as in 100% fit and we know this because he continued to lead the Muslims for another four and a half years he travelled expeditions there was other wars physically he was fine and there was no other or no other event that took place in that time that the Prophet had to or the Prophet referred to that event of being poisoned in Heber for example there's nothing to say the Prophet was gardening one day and was like oh my stomach oh my liver oh that poison from Heber is doing it to me and you know this happened a couple of months after Heber or this happened a couple of years after Heber we don't have consistency complaining about this poison and we don't have any hadith or any records of people being concerned about him being poisoned and asking him how are you what's going on have you healed from the poison or is your stomach still like this have you healed from this or healed from that there's nothing like that there's no consistency of people being concerned there's no consistency of the Prophet complaining about it so it just doesn't add up but the main thing is this there's no such poison that takes four and a half years to kill someone the poison would have got in and out of the body within two three weeks and it would have either killed him or it would have caused some severe damage that he wouldn't be able to live for a couple of months he wouldn't have healed 100% which the Prophet most likely did there was advocates most likely he did it didn't have happened that's why it wasn't severely damaged at all but if the poison had done something the Prophet would have complained about it there's no consistency of complaints no consistency of concerns from the Sahaba and the worst of the worst would have been he dies, didn't die the worst of the worst was in he lost some sort of organs or limbs that didn't happen anymore and the best thing that would happen was that he healed 100% and lived a normal life which he did he lived a normal life therefore either he was poisoned or he was poisoned at all there are times where history mentions there were attempts to kill Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala there is that famous incident of course when Quraysh tried to kill Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala when he was still in Mecca and Allah swt protected him saved him and he went to Medina when in Medina Muslims do mention that at Khaybar a Muslim lady tried to poison Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala there is also an indication that another lady in Medina may have also attempted to poison Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala now some Muslims mention especially the Muslims who are not the followers of Ahlu al-Bayt alayhi mus-salam that it is the poison that the prophet put in his mouth that lamb that the Jewish lady prepared in Khaybar is what really put its effect three years later in Rasulullah we kind of neglect that kind of attempt and hadith although they say the prophet died Shahid and it is the poison of that the effect of that poison from Khaybar three years earlier we say that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala did not demonstrate or display any signs of weakness during these three years in fact in the year eight after Hijra he went to the conquest of Mecca then he went and fought the battle of Hunayn then he went with the battle of Tabuk which was a difficult battle at least it was not difficult they did not fight but getting there it was the heat of the summer it was a tough time so none of these instances do we find Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala demonstrating weakness, hurt, pain so all of a sudden in the year ten after Hijra towards the end of his life all of a sudden the effect of that poison kind of kicks in that's why we find it difficult to accept such narrations however we do have hadith from Imam al-Hasan who says I will be poisoned just like my grandfather Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala he was asked by who he says by my wife Jauda that is a hadith that we agree and accept that it is authentic so according to this hadith the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala did not die a natural death but rather he was poisoned but the death of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala according to the history of both sects that the prophet died on the 11th of Hijra now this scenario can be easily refuted by two evidences firstly the battle of khaybar took place on the 7th of Hijra and the supposed poisoning of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala by that Jewish human was in that year after the battle and the prophet's demise and departure from this world the 11th of Hijra now it cannot be really sensible and rational to accept the idea that a person who was poisoned and ate that poisoned food would remain healthy for the next four and a half years because between the year 7th and 11th almost four and a half years how could a person survive all that years without being in a difficult health situation so for this reason we cannot accept the scenario from the Ahlus Sunnah that he was killed due to the poison that the prophet ate with that food and died four years later now also we look at the battles of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala after the 7th of Hijra he joined many battles the Fatih Makkah was on the 8th year exactly one year after the battle of Khaybar he went to Makkah with full health, good health and he opened Makkah, he entered Makkah he was on the horse or camel proudly came back to Makkah to his homeland then left Makkah back to Medina and also joined other battles after the 8th of Hijra so where is the effects and the side effects of poison so we cannot accept the scenario how could we trust somebody who fought at al-Bayt in the battle of camel Harbu al-Jamal against her Imam of her time Ali alaihi salam the second evidence which will refute the scenario and the story is that Aisha herself reported by Al-Bukhari one of the most prominent scholars in the Sunni world she says that Allah Allah's prophet told me on his deathbed that oh Aisha since I consumed that poisoned food after the Khaybar battle I've been in pain since 4 years he's been in pain now it is the time for my heart to stop beating because of that poison al-Bukhari volume 5 page 137 now how could we accept number 1 of Aisha it was one of those in the of Hadith and Rijal Hadith al-Ahad it's only her who reported this Hadith how could we trust her also let us not to forget that the Holy Quran mentioned about Aisha and Hafsa that there are two wrongdoers in Surah Al-Tahreem ayah 4 Allah says if you both turn to Allah repentance then indeed your hearts are already inclined Allah refused Aisha and Hafsa in this Holy verse how could we take the Hadith from somebody whose heart has been inclined somebody who was rejected by Allah swt a woman who was condemned from Allah swt from the 7 skies and threatened to be tortured in the Hellfire how could we take the Hadith from her so we refuse this Hadith because it's only the Aisha Hadith from the narrations that we have it was the Prophet poisoned yes he was poisoned from the narrations not to do with Khaybah but to do more with his wives this is mentioned in Bahara Anwar where Hazid Jibrail he comes he speaks to Rasulullah and he informs him that Abu Bakr and Umar who sees the Khilafa from Imam Ali they will take it from him they will do this by killing yourself Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi then tells this to Hafsa he tells Hafsa that this is what the angel has informed me of Angel Jibrail has told me of she goes and speaks to Aisha and she speaks to Abu Bakr and Hafawa and together they plot and sees an opportunity to kill the Prophet because this is not the first time they're doing this as in they're trying to kill the Prophet from a long time and also Abu Bakr, Umar not just Abu Bakr and Umar but many many of other companions especially people like the Umayyads people of high power that have lost out to Islam because their superior positions have now been removed because of Islam they don't make as much money as they used to because of Islam, because of paganism has dropped they don't have the same respect as they did before because Islam has come and now they are seen as equals with slaves rather than being seen as upper class and furthermore some of them had a life of poverty or a life of no respect or no honor and this was a great opportunity for them to take and to change their life for the rest for the remainder of their time here on Earth In Quraish there were some families that were known as the elites this is prior to Islam of course there was what we can call today the caste system the upper class and the lower class and in fact if we may even say the no class the elites the upper class they formed what we may call today like a club it was known as Dar al-Nadwa Dar al-Nadwa was a club a social club where people would meet these elites would meet and they would take kind of make major decisions nobody was allowed to enter into Dar al-Nadwa unless he belonged from one of those elite families the upper class families among those upper class families that were well known in Quraish were the Bani Umayyads they were wealthy people they were businessmen for example you have Abu Sufyan to this house or into this place Bani Makzum Abu Jahl these guys were from the Makzum families the Makzum tribe of Quraish they were allowed in because they were the wealthy people rich people Bani Hashim were allowed because they were the leaders of Quraish again they were the honorable ones so you have these elites these honorable people who would enter into this Dar al-Nadwa and in fact this is the place where the elites met after the message of Rasulullah SAW and they made the decision to kill Rasulullah SAW so this was the place where they used to meet when Abu Talib SAW was alive he would enter with them but he hides his faith and that's why the imams SAW say the similitude of Abu Talib is to that of the mu'min of Ali Fir'aun the believer of Ali Fir'aun Fir'aun's cousin his Qil that he never displayed his true faith and Abu Talib also never displayed his true faith so Abu Talib would come inside Dar al-Nadwa listen to what these guys are plotting against Rasulullah SAW and then he goes and tries to protect Rasulullah SAW but then the Abu Talib dies SAW and therefore Quraish now can do whatever they want what I would like to inquire from Muslims if they can show me credible historical references that the tribe of Bani Tamim of Quraish and Bani Adi were ever allowed to enter into Dar al-Nadwa to the best of my knowledge they were not allowed to enter it which means they were of the no class they were of the lower class and hence it is these tribes that really tried and strived or people of these tribes at least who put in the effort to take the Khilafah after Rasulullah SAW so they can establish a name for themselves and indeed they succeeded and hence the names of these tribes became popular in history otherwise they would be just like any other tribe who were not recognized by Quraish to be among the elites and the honorables and they would not have ever been recognized in history the way they did after taking the Khilafah now let's move to the Shia Hadith which is more credible and authenticated because the companions narrated from the imams and from the prophet SAW let's look at one of the famous Shia scholars who narrated the Hadith with this regard and his name is Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-Qummi the famous Tafseer of Al-Qummi he lived in the time of Imam Al-Asqari SAW so he actually witnessed some of the peace upon them all a trusty and honest narrator now the Hadith reported by him he said that the prophet said to Hafsa I will tell you a secret if you reveal it Allah his messenger and the pious believers will curse you so Hafsa ask what is it the prophet SAW he says Abu Bakr will be able to seize the caliphate and power after me after the prophet's departure from this world and will be succeeded by your father as well Umar asks the prophet SAW who informed you about this the prophet replied Allah the Almighty informed me however on the same day Hafsa goes and she tells Aisha about the secret so she betrays and tells the secret to Aisha and Aisha eventually reveals the secret to her father Abu Bakr Abu Bakr goes to Umar and he tells Umar to find out if Hafsa was really I mean heard what the prophet said SAW so he goes and checks Hafsa did you hear this secret from the prophet SAW she affirms and confirms and he comes back to Abu Bakr and he confirms the fact that yes Hafsa also and indeed heard this secret from the prophet SAW so they all plot and make a plan to assassinate the prophet SAW Tafsir al Qummi volume 2 page 367 there's another Mufassar amongst the Shia world but he was actually a non-Shia scholar he was a Sunni scholar before and he converted to the Shia of Ahl al Bayt and he wrote this Tafsir Tafsir of Al Ayyashi with the name of Masoud Al Ayyashi he narrates from Imam Ja'far al Sadiq that the Imam was sitting with a group of his companions and asked them the Imam asks his companions do you know whether the prophet died a natural death or was murdered Allah the Almighty says if he died or killed the Imam brings this part of the ayah the truth is that the prophet was poisoned in his last days before he died so Imam al Sadiq alays confirms the fact that he was poisoned and on his last days of his illness it wasn't in the time of the 7th of Hijrah after the khaybar battle just before days of his departure from this world now the Imam also confirms and names those who assassinated the prophet he says Aisha and Hafsa admitted poison in his food he frankly mentions the names of the two wives of the prophet then Ayashi the Mufassar he says that upon hearing this from the Imam the companions when they heard this they all said that their fathers were among the worst people ever created by Allah so imagine that Imam al Sadiq alays confirms this fact that he was poisoned and by one of those closest members in his house the two wives this is mentioned in Tafseer al Ayashi volume 1 page 200 in his final moments they say that Sayyid al Fatima was with her father to the end was by his side and he would have conversations with her and then he told her something he called her very close and he was speaking very slowly very quietly to her he told her something and then she began to cry she was very saddened by what her father said to her then after a moment or two the prophet asked her to come close again and wanted to indicate that he wants to talk to her say something in private he talks to her and says something and all of a sudden she's very very happy and she's smiling now what the scholars say that the dialogue that took place between the two was that firstly the prophet told his daughter that my time has come into an end my time has come into a close and I shall be departing this earth soon and returning to my lord which obviously upsets her very much then he gave her the news that she's not going to be gone for long that she he won't be gone for long as she would be joining him very very soon so that's what made her very very happy that she will not live much longer without her father because her father was very important to her her father was very dear to her and that she didn't want to be apart from him for so long and then as the the poison got stronger and the prophet of Allah got weaker it came to a stage where he had finally finally breathed his last final breaths and departed from this world he was covered with the Yemeni sheet and put into the side of the room the women started to wail and cry and lament and mourn and the men that were outside had understood from this that the prophet had now departed one thing people need to understand is that it was the request of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi that only Imam Ali only one and his closest and he said only he should wash my body and he should shroud me so Imam Ali did this he was the only one he told everyone to leave and he gave the russal to the prophet and he shrouded the prophet and he would say he says O prophet of Allah I love you more than I love my parents your death put an end to the prophethood to revelation and to the messengers from the Lord while death of our prophets had not resulted in this way your death caused a grief that every other grief was forgotten the grief of your separation became sorrow and everybody felt it if you had not ordered us to be patient and not to lament and be moan loudly we would have kept weeping and lamenting ceaselessly though all the lamenting could not have compared with the actual loss of your separation but death is inevitable event but death is an inevitable event nobody can turn death back and nobody can stop it from coming please remember us before we leave you
