OR: How Muhammad’s Deity Helped His Prophet to Become a Moral Failure as a Husband by Permitting Him To Mistreat His Wives
The Islamic sources candidly testify that Muhammad mistreated
his wives, preferring some to others, such as his child bride Aisha, and even
neglected those women whom he was least attracted to.
What makes this shameful mistreatment all the more reprehensible
is that Muhammad justified his willful neglect of specific wives and his
preferential treatment of Aisha by claiming that “revelations” would only “come
down” to him when he would wear Aisha’s dress!
2442. It is related from ‘A’isha that the wives of the
messenger of Allah fell into two parties. One party contained
‘A’isha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sawda, and the other party
contained Umm Salama and the rest of the wives of the messenger of
Allah. The Muslims knew of the love of the messenger of Allah for ‘A’isha, so
when any of them had a gift which he wanted to give to the messenger of Allah
he would delay it until the messenger of Allah was in ‘A’isha’s house.
Then the person with the gift would send it to the messenger of Allah while he
was in ‘A’isha’s house. The party of Umm Salama spoke about it
and said to her, “Tell the messenger of Allah to speak to the people and say,
‘Whoever wants to give a gift to the messenger of Allah should give it to him
in the house of whichever wife he is.'” Umm Salama spoke to him about
what they had said, but he did not say anything. They asked her and she said, “He
did not say anything to me.” They said to her, “Speak to him.” She said she
spoke to him when he went around to her as well, but he did not say anything to
her. They asked her and she said, “He did not say anything to me.” They said to
her, “Speak to him until he speaks to you.” He went around to her and she spoke
to him. He said to her, “Do not injure me regarding ‘A’isha. The revelation does not come to me
when I am in the GARMENT of any woman except ‘A’isha.” She
said, “I repent to Allah from injuring you, Messenger of Allah.” Then they
called Fatima, the daughter of the messenger of Allah, and sent her to the
messenger of Allah to say, “Your wives ask you by Allah for fairness regarding
the daughter of Abu Bakr.” She spoke to him and he said, “O my daughter,
do you not love what I love?” She said, “Yes indeed.” She returned to them and
informed them. They said, “Go back to him,” but she refused to go back. They
sent Zaynab bint Jahsh and she went to him and spoke
harshly, saying. “Your wives ask you by Allah for fairness regarding the
daughter of ibn Abi Quhafa.” She raised her voice until she
turned to ‘A’isha, who was sitting down, and abused her until the messenger of
Allah looked at ‘A’isha to see if she would speak. ‘A’isha spoke to
answer back Zaynab until she had silenced her. She said, “The prophet
looked at ‘A’isha and said, ‘She is indeed the daughter of
Abu Bakr.’”
Al-Bukhari said that the last words is the story of Fatima which
is mentioned from Hisham ibn ‘Urwa from a man from az-Zuhri from Muhammad ibn
‘Abdu’r-Rahman.
Abu Marwan said from Hisham from ‘Urwa, “The people used to aim
to send their gifts on the day of ‘A’isha.”
By another isnad,
‘A’isha said, “I was with the Prophet when Fatima asked for permission to
enter.” (Aisha Bewley, The Sahih
Collection of al-Bukhari, Chapter 54. The Book of Gifts and their
Excellence, VII: The one who gave a gift to his friend aiming for a time when
he was with one of his wives rather than another http://bewley.virtualave.net/bukhari20.html#gifts;

Here’s is another version of this same hadith:
Narrated ‘Urwa from ‘Aisha:
The wives of Allah’s
Apostle were in two groups. One group consisted of ‘Aisha,
Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the
other wives of Allah’s Apostle. The
Muslims knew that Allah’s Apostle loved ‘Aisha, so if any of them had a gift
and wished to give to Allah’s Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah’s Apostle
had come to ‘Aisha’s home and then he would send his gift to Allah’s Apostle in
her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the matter together
and decided that Um Salama should request Allah’s Apostle to tell the people to
send their gifts to him in whatever wife’s house he was. Um Salama told Allah’s
Apostle of what they had said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives)
asked Um Salama about it. She said, “He did not say anything to me.” They asked
her to talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day,
but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no
reply. They said to her, “Talk to him till he gives you a reply.” When it was
her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to her, “Do not hurt me
regarding Aisha, AS
THE DIVINE INSPIRATIONS DO NOT COME TO ME ON ANY OF THE BEDS EXCEPT THAT OF
AISHA.” On that Um Salama said, “I repent to Allah for hurting
you.” Then the group of Um Salama called Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s
Apostle and sent her to Allah’s Apostle to say to him, “Your wives request to treat them
and the daughter of Abu Bakr ON EQUAL TERMS.”
Then Fatima conveyed the message to him. The Prophet said, “O my
daughter! Don’t
you love whom I love?” She replied in the affirmative and
returned and told them of the situation. They requested her to go to him again
but she refused. They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him AND USED HARSH WORDS SAYING, “Your
wives request you TO TREAT THEM and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafa ON EQUAL
TERMS.” On that she raised her voice AND ABUSED ‘Aisha TO HER FACE so much so
that Allah’s Apostle looked at ‘Aisha to see whether she would retort. ‘Aisha
started replying to Zainab till she silenced her. The Prophet
then looked at ‘Aisha and said, “She is really the daughter of Abu Bakr.” (Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 755 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=47&translator=1&start=0&number=755)
{Sidenote: The Salafi translator of Sahih Bukhari, Dr. Muhammad
Muhsin Khan, has deceitfully translated the Arabic as “beds” which disagrees
with Bewley’s rendering. Sadly, this kind of dishonesty and deceit are all too
typical of Muslims who will do anything they can to cover over their prophet’s
gross immorality and wickedness.}
Here’s another hadith:
She told that the people used to choose: ‘A’isha’s day to bring
their gifts, seeking thereby to please God’s messenger. She said that God’s
messenger’s wives were in tow parties, one including ‘A’isha, Hafsa, Safiya,
and Sauda, and the other including Umm Salama and the rest of God’s messenger’s
wives. Umm Salama’s party spoke to her telling her to ask God’s messenger to
say to the people, “If anyone wishes to make a present to God’s messenger, let
him present it to him wherever he happens to be.” She did so and he replied, “Do not annoy me regarding ‘A’isha, for inspiration has not come to me
when I was in any WOMAN’S GARMENT but ‘A’isha’s.” They then
called Fatima, sent her to God’s messenger, and she spoke to him, but he
replied, Do you not like what I like, girlie?” She said, “Certainly,” so he
said, “Then love this woman.” (Bukhari and Muslim.) (Mishkat Al Masabih,
English translation with explanatory notes by Dr. James Robson [Sh. Muhammad
Ahsraf Publishers, Booksellers & Exporters, Lahore-Pakistan, Reprint 1990],
Book XXVI- Fitan., Chapter XXXVIII, “The Fine Qualities of the Prophet’s
Wives”, Volume II, p. 1361; bold and capital emphasis ours)
Pay close attention to the fact that Muhammad’s wives demanded
equal time and attention, which they most certainly deserved. Their complaints
highlight the point of Muhammad being a failure as a husband since he didn’t
give the same amount of time or love to all his women.
And how does Muhammad respond? Does he make an effort to correct
his blatant mistreatment of his wives? No! Instead of doing the right thing, he
claims that his deity only gives him divine revelations when he is in bed with
Aisha!
Imagine that! Muhammad blames his idol for discriminating
against his wives!
Even Aisha noticed how Muhammad’s god would come running to gratify
his messenger’s desires and justify his gross immoral behavior and misconduct:
Narrated Aisha:
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s
Apostle and I used to say, “Can a lady give herself (to a man)?” But when Allah
revealed: “You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them
(your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no
blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).”
(33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I
feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume
6, Book 60, Number 311 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=60&translator=1&start=0&number=311)
‘A’isha reported: I felt jealous of the women who offered
themselves to Allah’s Messenger and said: Then when Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, revealed this:” You may defer any one of them you wish, and take to
yourself any you wish; and if you desire any you have set aside (no sin is
chargeable to you)” (xxxiii. 51), I (‘A’isha.) said: It seems to me that your Lord
hastens to satisfy your desire. (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3453 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=008&translator=2&start=0&number=3453)
Doesn’t this show that Muhammad had no shame and did not
hesitate to blame everything on his deity? And yet this is the same man that
Muslims want to foist upon the world as a mercy and a prophet!
What kind of prophet would justify his abusing and mistreating
women by claiming that God only sends down revelations to him in the home of a
specific wife, and in the dress of a particular woman who he so happened to
favor over and above the rest? Is this a man that people should look to for
moral guidance, a role model for others to emulate?
On the contrary, instead of honoring such a charlatan, this man
needs to exposed for what he truly was, namely, a wicked, vile immoral
antichrist who has now been subjected beneath the glorious feet of the Lord
Jesus, Muhammad’s God and Judge, whom Muhammad will have to confess as his
sovereign Lord before being sent into the everlasting destruction that he
deserves for what he has done to mankind:
“The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ: (he
is Lord of all:)… And he commanded us to preach unto the
people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.”
Acts 10:36, 42
“For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the
dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost
thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us
shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:9-12
“Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the
kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all
authority and power. For
he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The
last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under
his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that
he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall
be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that
put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Corinthians 15:24-28
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name: that
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
