Forgetful Muhammad:-
The Quran and its followers insist that it, the Quran, is the word of Allah which is eternal, perfect, unalterable and 'revealed' to Muhammad in perfect Arabic, without errors, alterations or omissions. That it is recorded with Allah on eternal tablets.
Unfortunately for the Quran and its followers, the records of the Ahadith point to exactly the opposite:
Its Arabic is full of grammatical and lexical errors
Its contents are historically and theologically inaccurate
It contains over one hundred totally FOREIGN - non Arabic - words which are among the most important in the Quran
That most of its PRECEPTS, CONCEPTS, THOUGHTS and IDEAS are PLAGIARISED, PLUNDERED, PIRATED and/or PERVERTED from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, Zoroasterian & Arabian pagan religions, their traditions, their fetishes and their scriptures
That many verses had been FORGOTTEN or DESTROYED from the memories of Muhammad, some of his companions or the Memorisers who died in battles before the Quran was put in writing
That there are several DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the same verses memorised by different companions in different places at different times
That very important verses which were memorised by the companions of Muhammad were NOT INCLUDED in the compiled but EDITED verion of the Uthmanic Quran.
And more....
All these FACTS point out the FALLIBILITY, INACCURACY, INCONSISTANCY, MENDACITY and UNRELIABILITY of the Quran as a 'divinely inspired ' book.
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.777 Narrated byAbu Salama Also 1.46
Once I went to Abu- Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk?" So Abu Said went out and I asked him, "Tell me what you heard from the Prophet about the Night of Qadr." Abu Said replied, "Once Allah's Apostle performed Itikaf (seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet performed the Itikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed Itikaf with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking for is ahead of you.' In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed Itikaf with me should continue it.
I have been shown the Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water.' In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allah's Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream."
*** Muhammad forgot the date of the most MOMENTOUS night of
his life.
The night of the FIRST QURANIC 'REVELATIONS'.
An event that should not have been forgotten since it was the defining moment of his existence.
If this momentous event was forgotten by him, then it is no wonder that many of the verses of the Quran, numerous events and names are also jumbled up and utterly wrong.
No divinity would have entrusted a Book of Revelation to such a person.
Not a single 'prophet' mentioned in the Quran suffered a single instance of forgetfulness; only the 'infallible and perfect' Muhammad ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.469 Narrated byIbn Sirin
ALSO 2.321, 8.77; 8.664; 9.356;
Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle led us in one of the two 'Isha' prayers (Abu Huraira named that prayer but I forgot it)." Abu Huraira added, "He prayed two Rakat and then finished the prayer with Taslim. He stood up near a piece of wood lying across the mosque and leaned on it in such a way as if he was angry. Then he put his right hand over the left and clasped his hands by interlacing his fingers and then put his right cheek on the back of his left hand. The people who were in haste left the mosque through its gates. They wondered whether the prayer was reduced. And amongst them were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they hesitated to ask the Prophet. A long-handed man called Dhul-Yadain asked the Prophet,
'O Allah's Apostle!
Have you forgotten or has the prayer been reduced?'
The Prophet replied, 'I have neither forgotten nor has the prayer been reduced.' The Prophet added, 'Is what Dhul Yadain has said true?' They (the people) said, 'Yes, it is true.' The Prophet stood up again and led the prayer, completing the remaining prayer,
forgotten by him, and performed Taslim, and then said, 'Allahu Akbar.' And then he did a prostration as he used to prostrate or longer than that. He then raised his head saying, 'Allahu Akbar'; he then again said, 'Allahu Akbar', and prostrated as he used to prostrate or longer than that. Then he raised his head and said, 'Allahu Akbar.' " (The sub-narrator added, "I think that they asked (Ibn Sirin) whether the Prophet completed the prayer with Taslim. He replied, 'I heard that 'Imran bin Husain had said, "Then he (the Prophet) did Taslim." ' ")
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.8 Narrated byIbn Abbas
Umar said, "Our best Qur'an reciter is Ubai and our best judge is 'Ali; and in spite of this,
we leave some of the statements of Ubai because Ubai says, 'I do not leave anything that I have heard from Allah's Apostle
while Allah said:
"Whatever verse (Revelations) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten but We bring a better one or similar to it." ' " (2.106)
*** Why, if Ubai was memorising the exact words of Allah, did the followers of Muhammad, edit, rescind and take out his statements that are supposed to be inviolate and sacrosanct?
Why, if Allah is God, does he need to ABROGATE any verse that he had earlier 'revealed' to Muhammad?
Why did not Allah, the All Knowing, 'reveal' the 'perfect' verse in the first place?
Why would Allah abrogate any verse and REPLACE it with one SIMILAR ?
Why SIMILAR and not BETTER?
Again the question:
Why not reveal the 'best' versions from the very beginning, to start with? ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.527 Narrated byIbn Abbas
Umar said, "Ubai was the best of us in the recitation (of the Qur'an) yet we leave some of what he recites." Ubai says, "I have taken it from the mouth of Allah's Apostle and will not leave for anything whatever." But Allah said,
"None of Our Revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten but We substitute something better or similar." 2.106
*** Why would Allah keep changing his mind, making his followers forget his verses or substitute, replace and or amend them after their first 'revelation', if Allah is all knowing?
All the inconsistencies, anomalies and abnormalities in the Quran can be explained easily and without reverting to convoluted and imbecile logic, if Allah is NOT GOD but only the ALTER EGO of Muhammad putting words in the mouth of the unsuspecting Allah the supreme pagan rock god of the Quraysh, embedded in the corner wall of the Ka'ba called the Black Stone ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.552 Narrated byAbu Musa Also 6.550
The Prophet said, "Keep on reciting the Qur'an, for, by Him in Whose Hand my life is, Quran runs away (is forgotten) faster than camels that are released from their tying ropes."
*** If Allah wanted Muhammad and his followers to remember 'His' verses, then they should not have been so difficult or its hearers so inept that they would forget them so fleetingly.
Better still, Allah should have PROGRAMMED them with this knowledge ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.559 Narrated byAbdullah
The Prophet said, "Why does anyone of the people say, 'I have forgotten such-and-such Verses (of the Qur'an)?' He, in fact, is caused (by Allah) to forget."
*** According to Muhammad, it is Allah who deliberatly causes people to forget.
This is part and parcel of Muhammad's obsession with the IMMORAL and UNETHICAL concept of PREDESTINATION ***
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.427 & 8.644; 8.712 Narrated byZahdam
We were in the company of Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari and there were friendly relations between us and this tribe of Jarm. Abu Musa was presented with a dish containing chicken. Among the people there was sitting a red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Musa said (to him), "Come on (and eat), for I have seen Allah's Apostle eating of it (i.e. chicken)." He said, "I have seen it eating something (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it ' Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you). Once I went to Allah's Apostle with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mount you on.' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?' So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while (after we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, 'Allah's Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle of his oath, we will never be successful.' So we returned to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts, but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.' "
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 8.328 Narrated byIbn Abbas
One night I slept at the house of Maimuna. The Prophet woke up, answered the call of nature, washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the mouth thereof and performed ablution not using much water, yet he washed all the parts properly and then offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that the Prophet might not feel that I was watching him, and then I performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the prayer, stood on his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered thirteen Rak'at in all and then lay down and slept till he started blowing out his breath as he used to do when he slept. In the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet of the approaching time for the (Fajr) prayer, and the Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer without performing new ablution. He used to say in his invocation, "Allaihumma ij'al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam'i nuran, wa'an yamini nuran, wa'an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti nuran, wa amami nuran, wa khalfi nuran, waj'al li nuran." Kuraib (a sub narrator) said,
"I have forgotten seven other words,
(which the Prophet mentioned in this invocation). I met a man from the offspring of Al-'Abbas and he narrated those seven things to me, mentioning, '(Let there be light in) my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair and my body,' and he also mentioned two other things."
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 502 Narrated byAisha
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Ten are the acts according to fitrah: clipping the moustache,letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, snuffing up water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, and cleaning one's private parts with water. The narrator said:
I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 957 Narrated byAnas ibn Malik
I have never said such a light and perfect prayer as I said behind the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) The prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was well balanced. And so too was the prayer of AbuBakr well balanced. When it was the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab he prolonged the morning prayer. When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Allah listened to him who praised Him, he stood erect till we said:
He has forgotten. He then prostrated and sat between two prostrations till we said:
He has forgotten.
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 2286 Narrated byAbuMusa al-Ash'ari
AbuHarb ibn AbulAswad reported on the authority of his father that AbuMusa al-Ash'ari sent for the reciters of Basrah. They came to him and they were three hundred in number. They recited the Qur'an and he said: You are the best among the inhabitants of Basrah, for you are the reciters among them. So continue to recite it. (But take care) that your lengthy recitals may not harden your hearts as were hardened the hearts of those before you.
We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity the (Surah) al-Bara'ah.
I have however forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember from it: "If there were two valleys full of riches for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust."
And we used to recite a surah which resembled one of the surahs of Musabbihat,
and I have forgotten it, but remember (this much) from it: "O people who believe, why do you say that which you do not practise"? (61:2.) And "That is recorded on your necks as a witness (against you) and you will be asked about it on the Day of Resurrection" (xvii.13).

Hadith 3.64 Also: 3.62; 3.63;
What to Do if through Forgetfulness One Says the Taslim after Two Rakas
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Bakr ibn Sulayman ibn Abi Hathma said, "I have heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed two rakas of one of the two day-ti me prayers, dhuhr or asr, and said the taslim after two rakas. Dhu'sh-Shamalayn said to him, 'Has the prayer been shortened, Messenger of Allah, or have you forgotten?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The prayer has not been shortened and I have not forgotten.' Dhu'shShamalayn said, 'It was certainly one of those, Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, approached the people and said, 'Has Dh u'sh-Shamalayn spoken the truth?' They said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, completed what remained of the prayer, and then said, 'Peace be upon you.' "
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 815 Narrated byMu'adh ibn Abdullah al-Juhani
A man of Juhaynah told him that he had heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) reciting "When the earth is shaken" (Surah 99) in both rak'ahs of the morning prayer. But I do not know whether he had forgotten, or whether he recited it on purpose.
Sahih Muslim Hadith Hadith 328 Narrated byAbuHurayrah
The Messenger of Allah, (peace be upon him) said: I found myself in Hijr and the Quraysh were asking me about my night journey. I was asked about things pertaining to
Bayt al-Maqdis [Temple of Solomom], which I could not preserve (in my mind) [FORGOTTEN]. I was very much vexed, so vexed as I had never been before.
Then Allah raised it (Bayt al-Maqdis) before my eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they questioned me. I also saw myself among the group of apostles. I saw Moses saying a prayer and found him to be a well-built man as if he were a man of the tribe of Shanu'ah. I saw Jesus, son of Mary, (peace be upon him) offering prayer; of all men he had the closet resemblance to Urwah ibn Mas'ud ath-Thaqafi. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) offering prayer; he had the closet resemblance to your companion (the Prophet himself) amongst people. When the time of prayer came I led them. When I completed the prayer, someone said: Here is Malik, the keeper of the Hell; give him salutation. I turned to him, but he preceded me in salutation.
(Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Vol. 1, p. 248
I stood at al-Hijr, visualised Bayt al-Muqaddas and described its signs. Some of them said: How many doors are there in that mosque?
I had not counted them so I began to look at it and counted them one by one and gave them information concerning them.
*** Muhammad, the alleged greatest of all the prophets, who had just returned from his glorious and incredible NIGHT JOURNEY to the
- NON EXISTENT - Temple of Solomon, forgot what it looked like and needed a very convenient and miraculous reminder from the ever obliging Allah.
The reader should be made aware that at the time of Muhammad, the Temple of Solomon had already been DESTROYED and ceased to exist since at least 70 AD,that is 550 YEARS EARLIER.
Since these are the HISTORICAL FACTS, then to which IMAGINARY temple - if any - did Muhammad go to ? ***
Moreover, the Quran does NOT describe the ' NIGHT JOURNEY' as MIRACULOUS and furthermore, the Quran asserts that Muhammad NEVER performed any MIRACLE except for the Quranic 'revelations'.
Based upon all the information above, there is absolutely no DOUBT that Muhammad was definitely being MENDACIOUS when he described a structure that did not exist.
Muhammad - allegedly the greatest of all the other prophets and the perfect example of the human male - was most OBVIOUSLY DECEIVING and LYING to his mostly IGNORANT and GULLIBLE followers who truly believed that he, Muhammad, was the 'ACTUAL' and 'TRUTHFUL' messenger of Allah.
Muhammad's DECEPTIONS permeate most of the verses of the Quran, turning it into the GREATEST THEOLOGICAL and INTELLECTUAL CON TRICK that has ever been perpetrated against the human
consciousness ***
