The questioner:
Some people deny the story of the sorcery cast upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying that it entails affirming the statement of the disbelievers:[Al-Isra 17:47] What is the answer to that?
The Shaykh:
This is the speech of the Mu'tazilah. This is the speech of the Mu'tazilah. This is their creed. As for the people of the Sunnah and the community, they affirm what is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger is a human being, and illness befalls him. This is a type of illness. A type of illness. So it does not contradict, and it does not contradict, that he is protected and that he is the Messenger of Allah. He is protected in terms of the message. As for being protected in terms of illness, he is not free from illness. Hunger befalls him, fatigue befalls him, and wounds befall him (peace and blessings be upon him). He is a human being, and this is among the things that befall human beings. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The polytheists say, "You follow nothing but a bewitched man," meaning bewitched in his speech, and this is bewitched speech. They say the Qur'an is bewitched speech, the speech of a madman, and they say such things. As for what befalls his body (peace and blessings be upon him) of what befalls human beings, this is a reality. What befalls him (peace and blessings be upon him) is what befalls human beings of illnesses, of sadness, of worries, and other things, and of annoyances. This befalls him (peace and blessings be upon him). But he is protected in terms of the revelation and what he conveys from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
