Refuting the Suspicion that Says: What Muhammad saw in the Cave of Heraa wasn't an Angel

the sixth lie

 

this fabricator said that the creature, the prophet saw in the cave of hira, was strangling him. so – in his opinion- it was satan, because if it had been an angel he wouldn't have been wicked and strangled him. he also said that the prophet never thought that it was an angel but he asserted that it was a jinni and he said to khadija (his wife), as this fabricator said, that he saw a subordinate of jinn or he was harmed by a jinni. 


the angle didn't strangle the prophet peace be upon him when he appeared to him but he pressed him (embraced him and hugged him), embraced him till he couldn't bear it any more, a deed of a lover to his beloved. and listen to the story as narrated by 'aisha may allah be pleased with her:

the angel came to him and asked him to read. the prophet replied, "i do not know how to read.''

the prophet added, "the angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that i could not bear it any more. he then released me and again asked me to read and i replied, 'i do not know how to read.' thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till i could not bear it any more. he then released me and again asked me to read but again i replied, 'i do not know how to read (or what shall i read)?' thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, “read in the name of your lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot. read! and your lord is the most generous." (al alak : 1-3) then allah's messenger returned with the inspiration and with his heart beating severely. then he went to khadija bint khuwailid and said, "cover me! cover me!" she covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said, "i fear that something may happen to me." khadija replied, "never! by allah, allah will never disgrace you. you keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones."

khadija then accompanied him to her cousin waraqa bin naufal bin asad bin 'abdul 'uzza, who, during the pre-islamic period became a christian and used to write with hebrew letters. he used to write from the gospel in hebrew as much as allah wished him to write. he was an old man and had lost his eyesight. khadija said to waraqa, "listen to the story of your nephew, o my cousin!" waraqa asked, "o my nephew! what have you seen?" allah's messenger described what he had seen. waraqa said, "this is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel gabriel) whom allah had sent to moses. i wish i were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." allah's messenger asked, "will they drive me out?" waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if i should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then i would support you strongly." but after a few days waraqa died and the divine inspiration was also paused for a while''

no strangling, no jinn and no other things as this liar is saying. but the prophet was described with the best morals even before he was revealed to as khadija said to him:  "never! by allah, allah will never disgrace you. you keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones." and in the same hadith waraqa conveyed glad tidings to the prophet that he would be the prophet of the nation, and the same was sent to moses. waraqa was right as when revelation had come to moses peace be upon him he became afraid from it too, trembled and turned to flee headlong.
