What is the response to those who say that the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the response to those who say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not subjected to sorcery, and who claim that this is an attack on the infallibility of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
There is no god but Allah. The Prophet did not fall ill and did not die of an illness; this was not an illness. Sorcery is an illness; he was afflicted with an illness due to the sorcery. The Prophet was wounded and his front tooth was broken. You say that the Messenger is infallible, yes or no? He is infallible in the revelation, in conveying the revelation and the Shari'ah. As for being infallible in his body such that nothing befalls him, no one has said that. Sorcery is merely one of the illnesses and afflictions, and the Messenger is a human being who is afflicted as other human beings are afflicted. Yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh. In the authentic collections, there is the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was subjected to sorcery. This is in the authentic collections; a student of knowledge does not deny it. Only an ignorant person or one who does not use the hadith as evidence denies it.
