Revelation interrupted cause of a dead animal

The Revelation is not coming to a Prophet cause of a dead dog of under his bed!

Second :

If said : if the story is not right so what is the reason behind the Gabriel interruption of revelation to your prophet for a period of time …….?!

I said : What is clear to me is that the reason for this is when Jews asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about three issues … and he said to them :

I will tell you tomorrow, and did say: “If Allah wills” and the revelation seized to come to him… Allah know the best.

This is backed by the speech of Quran explanation scholars as following :

1-Tafsir Al Bagawi : (page 569): the explainers said the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), about (Dhul-Qarnayn, Who has two horns) , about the companions of the cave, and about soul? He said: I will tell you tomorrow, and did not say : : “If Allah wills” so the revelation seized to come to him.



2- Tafsir Al Siraj Almunir (Surat Al Dhuha/ page 5212) : << The Jews asked Prophet (peace be upon him) about soul, about (Dhul-Qarnayn, Who has two horns) ,and about the companions of the cave ? and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I will tell you tomorrow, and did not say If Allah wills, so the revelation seized to come to him till Gabriel descended to him with the speech of Allah : (And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow, Except [when adding], "If Allah wills.") Al Kahf(23)

And Gabriel revealed to him what they asked him, and about this story (Your Lord has not taken leave of you)>> they differ about the duration of the interruption of the revelation. Ibn Jarir said: twenty four days. And Ibn Abbas said fifteen days. And Muqatel said Forty days. They said : and the polytheist said Muhammad’s Lord has left him and detested him Allah has revealed this surat and Prophet said :<< O Gabriel you did not come till I was very eager for you to come ? Gabriel said: I was more eager to come to you but I am an ordered servant and Allah revealed : (And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord)>> Maryam (64)



3- Al Lubab in Quran science (Chapter16/page372) : and it was said: when the Jews asked him about soul, Dhul-Qarnayn and about the companions of the cave, the Prophet (peace be upon him said: >> I will tell you tomorrow<< and did not say : If Allah wills, so the revelation seized to come to him till Gabriel descended to him with the speech of Allah : (And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow, Except [when adding], "If Allah wills.") Al Kahf(23-24), and he revealed to him what they asked, and for this story : (Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested .)

And polytheist hypocrites harmed the Prophet a lot during the time of the interruption of revelation, and he was very patiently endured from what he faced (peace be upon him)…. Muslim narrated in his Sahih The Book of THE PERSECUTION OF THE HOLY PROPHET (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) AT THE HANDS OF THE INFIDELS AND HYPOCRITES) number 3355 Isihaq Bin Ibrahim and Muhammad Bin Rafih and the utterance is for Ibn Rafih said Isihaq said to us Ibn rafih said: yahya Bin Adam said to us from Zuhair it has been narrated on the authority of Aswad b. Qais who said: I heard Jundub b. Sufyan say: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) fell ill and did not wake up for two or three nights (for prayers) A woman came to him and said: Muhammad, I hope that your satan has left you. I haven't seen him approach you for two or three nights. The narrator says: At this, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed: ( And [by] the night when it covers with darkness Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested ).

They said :

it is illogical that a dead dog was under the bed of the Prophet, and it continued in this condition for a time, and Gabriel does not descent to Prophet because of this dead dog…. O Muslims what are those myths?!



They depend on the followings :

1-Tafsir AlQurtuby (chapter 20/93) : Narrated from Abi Amran Aljony , said: Gabriel had not come to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for a duration of time and that was hard for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to bear, Gabriel did come to Prophet while Prophet (peace be upon him) was praying with his forehead on the Kaaba, Gabriel sat on his shoulder and revealed to him (Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested ).

Khawla –who was serving the Prophet peace be upon him- said : a puppy had entered the house, he went under the bed and died, days passed and no revelation came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).




The Prophet (peace be upon him) said : O khawla, what happened in my house? Why Gabriel is not coming to me ?) Khawla said I said to myself : if I intend cleaning the house, I swept under of the bed with a sweeper and there was a dead puppy, I took it and threw it outside behind the wall, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) came and his beard was trembling –usually whenever the revelation came to him (peace be upon him) trembling took hold of him – he (peace be upon him) said : (O Khawla cover me) Allah revealed this Sorat.

And when Gabriel descended the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him about being late he answered: “do not you know that we don’t enter any house with dog and picture in it”.





2- Tafsir Al Alwsy (chapter 24/ page 4): Ibn Abi Shiba in his Masnad, Al Tabarani and Ibn Mrdwya, they concluded from Khawla’s (she was serving the Prophet (peace be upon him) ) narration that a puppy went under the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) bed and died we did not knew this, four days passed and no revelation came to him and he asked O Khawla what happened in Prophet’s (peace be upon him) house Gabriel is not coming to me I said O Messenger of Allah we never had a day more blessing than today he took his garment wore it and went outside I said to myself if I prepare the house for sweeping it and I tried to sweep under of the bed there was something heavy I tried with it till a dead puppy came out I took it with my hands and threw it behind the house so the Prophet come home and his beard was trembling –usually whenever the revelation came to him (peace be upon him) trembling took hold of him – and said : O Khawla cover me, so Allah Almighty revealed: (By the morning brightness * And [by] the night when it covers with darkness) till his speech : (and you will be satisfied) this narration proves that the interruption of revelation was four days, from Ibn Jrej it was twenty days, from Al Kalbi it was fifteen days and more, from Ibn Abbas twenty five days, from Al Sadi and Muqatel forty days and you know that in such kind of issues the knowledge differs from the origin and nearly no one knows for sure only the Prophet (peace be upon him), Allah knows the best.





3- Tafsir of Al Labab by Ibn Adil : and it is narrated from Khawla was serving Prophet (peace be upon him) she said : a puppy had entered the house, entered under the bed and died, days passed and no revelation came to the Messenger of Allah, The Prophet said: O Khawla, what happened in my house? Why Gabriel is not coming to me ?) Khawla said: if I prepare the house for sweeping, I swept under the bed with a sweeper and there was a dead puppy, I took it and threw it outside behind the wall, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) came and his beard was trembling –usually whenever the revelation came to him (peace be upon him) trembling took hold of him – he (peace be upon him) said : (O Khawla cover me) Allah revealed this Sorat, and when Gabriel descended the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him about being late he answered: “do not you know that we don’t enter any house with dog and picture in it”.

Refuting the suspicion:





First:

This narration is denied from both of rational side and narrating side, rationally the logic is completely refusing this issue; cause dog decays after he dies, and a bad smelling rises ….

And from narrating side this narrative or story is denied by the Muslim scholars and they don’t recognize is as correct one, as what follows :



1-Ibn Hajar (Allah bless his soul) said in Al Fateh (chapter 14/ page 122): Now I found in Al Tabarani with a prediction it is stated in it that who don’t know the reason of revelation was a puppy under Prophet’s (peace be upon him) bed and he did not feel it so the Gabriel did not come to him because of this, the story of Gabriel’s interrupt because of a dog under the bed is famous , but to be the reason for revealing this verse is very strange, but even odd, and it is refused by what is in the correct and Allah know best.



2- Al Sheikh Al Albani (Allah bless him) said in the (Serial of Weak) number 6136 (denied) O Khawla, what happened in the Messenger of Allah’s house? Gabriel is not coming to me! Was there an event happened in the house of the Messenger of Allah?... O Khawla cover me!

Allah revealed : By the morning brightness (1) And [by] the night when it covers with darkness, (2) Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested . (3)

Al Tabarani said in (The Great Dictionary) (24/249/636) Ali Ibn Abdulaziz said to us : Abw Naaeh repeated, Hfs Bin Saaed Alquraishy repeated, from her mother my mother narrated to me : a puppy had entered the house, went under the bed and died, days passed and no revelation came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) he said: (he narrated the hadith), I said: I swear by Allah we never had a day more blessing than today he took his garment wore it and went outside I said : if I prepare the house for sweeping it and I tried to sweep under the bed by sweeper there was something heavy; I tried with it till a dead puppy came out I took it with my hands and threw it outside behind the wall so the Prophet come home and his beard was trembling –usually whenever the revelation came to him (peace be upon him) trembling took hold of him – and said : “O Khawla cover me” …. The hadith.



And Ibn Abi Shiba in his (Masnad), from him Ibn Abi Assim in Last “Al Ahad wal mathani”, and from him Ibn Atheer in “The Lion of the forest” (6/94) Abu Naeem Al Fatheel Bin Dkeen narrated for us : ….. . thus.



I said : this is a weak predication, and has two faults , which are unawareness:



First : Um Hfs Bin Saeed: I did not find her biography , and thus Al Haithamee find fault; and said in “Al Majmah” (7/138): “Al Tabarani narrated it, Um Hfs I did not know her”.



3- Sheikh Salim Al Hilaly and Sheikh Muhammad Al Nasir (Allah bless them) in the Book of Comprehension (3/523): weak.
