Random Facts and Crazy Teachings: Odd and Random Things Muhammad Did and Said

Muhammad said poison and magic will not harm someone on the day they eat seven dates in the morning (Sahih Al-Bukhari 65:356; Sahih Muslim 23:5081). This is interesting because Muhammad had magic worked on him that resulted in him thinking he had done something that he had not (Sahih Al-Bukhari 54:490, 71:658, 660, 661, 73:89, 75:400) and he got poisoned so badly that he died from it (Sahih Al-Bukhari 59:713; Sahih Muslim 26:5430; al-Tabari, Volume VIII, page 124). So obviously Muhammad didn't eat seven dates in the morning of the day that he had magic worked on him and the day he got poisoned, or either he just lied about the seven dates.

 

Muhammad said he asked Allah for forgiveness (Sahih Al-Bukhari 75:319; Sahih Muslim 35:6522,6523) and admitted he was a sinner: Sahih Al-Bukhari 60:236.

 

Muhammad's "seal of prophethood" was a deformity (something like a mole) on his back: Sahih Al-Bukhari 4:189, 56:741, 70:574, 75:363; Sahih Muslim 30:5789-5790, 5792-5793.

He condemned pictures and people who make them, and said they will receive the severest punishment on the day of resurrection: Sahih Al-Bukhari: 34:318, 440, 428, 43:229, 63:259, 72:834, 840, 844, 73:133, 87:165, 93:646; Sahih Muslim 24:5258.

 

The Quran says Muhammad is the example for Muslims (Surah 33:21), which means all the horrible and intolerant things Muhammad did is an example to Muslims as to how they should live.

 

Muhammad said over and over in the Quran that he isn't crazy (Surah 7:184, 23:70, 34:46, 37:35-36, 52:29, 68:2, 81:22), and Muslims are supposed to recite the Quran. This means Muslims are literally supposed to recite over and over that Muhammad isn't crazy.

 

He commanded that dogs be killed: Sahih Muslim 10:3809-3811, 26:5545.

Muhammad cursed Jews and Christians on his deathbed for building places of worship at the graves of their prophets (Sahih Al-Bukhari 56:660; Muwatta Malik 45:17), yet that's the very thing Muslims have done to Muhammad. Muhammad's grave is at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, a Mosque in Medina, so according to Muhammad's reasoning Muslims must now be cursed be Allah.

 

He said when people are waiting for prayer, Angels will ask Allah to be merciful to them and to forgive them unless the person farts: Sahih Al-Bukhari 54:452.

 

He said that wine is of Satan (Surah 5:90), yet he also interestingly said that there will be rivers of wine in paradise: Surah 47:15.

He cursed people who accept, pay, record, and witness interest: Sahih Muslim 10:3881. (So in Islam it's okay to rape female captives, beat your wife, kill apostates, and marry and have sex with prepubescent girls, but having a mortgage with interest is forbidden)

 

He asked Allah to curse women who pluck their eyebrows: Sunan An-Nasa'i 5112 (Dar-us-Salam Reference).

 

He said the Israelites where destroyed because their women used hair extensions: Sahih Al-Bukhari 56:674.

 

When he used the bathroom he would seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils: Sunan Muslim 3:729. (Dar-us-Salam translates this Hadith with "male and female devils" but the translation by Abdul Hamid Siddiqui says "wicked and noxious things")

 

He would ask Allah for forgiveness after he used the bathroom: Sunan Abu Dawud 1:30.

Muhammad's companion Ibn Abbas said the Quran (Surah 31:6) bans singing, and since Muhammad said the best people were the people of his generation and the next 2 generations (Sahih Al-Bukhari 48:820, 76:437, 78:652), this means the way the first 3 generations of Muslims interpreted the Quran should be valued above all other interpretations. Therefore, the best interpretation of Surah 31:6 is that the Quran bans singing: Al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Bukhari 1265 (in-book reference).
