Hz. Peygamber’in Yahudi Bir Kadın Tarafından Zehirlenmesi Hadisesi Hakkındaki Rivayetler ve Kur’ân Dışı Vahiyle İlgisi

Abstract

There are certain narratives in hadith and siyer (prophetic biography) sources of an event that a Jewish woman wanted to poison and kill the Prophet Muhammad in the days leading up to the conquest of Khaybar. These narratives, as far as can be determined were conveyed from the sahabah named Abu Hurairah, Anas b. Malik, Jabir b. ʿAbdullah, Abu Lubaibah and Abu Sa`id al-Khudri. There is also a mursal narrative conveyed from ʿAbdurrahman b. Kaʿb b. Malik. These narratives are seen to carry significant wording and content differences, and have excess and incomplete information. These differences in accounts appear to be a harbinger of certain amendments of the narrators when they recounted the information. However, considering all the accounts together, it is understood that it is possible to reach a realistic conclusion about the poisoning of the Prophet Muhammad. On the other hand, the detail in some of the accounts that the poisonous mutton informed its being poisonous has also been associated with a non-Qur'anic revelation revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Although there are also those who refuse the idea, the idea of non-Qur'anic revelation has been accepted in the school of thought of Sunni Muslims in general. Nevertheless, the argument that the accounts of the poisoning of the Prophet Muhammad provide the basis for the claim of non-Quranic revelation seems open to discussion. In this study, the accounts in question will be evaluated together to determine the relationship between the essence of the matter and the non-Qur’anic revelation.
