The Attempts on the Prophet Muhammad's Life and His Death
praise and peace be upon him
With extracts from the Journey of a Lifetime with Prophet Muhammad

There were several attempts on the life of our Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, by the Jews as well as the Koraysh and these stories are some of them.

Labid, the Jewish sorcerer:
After the Battle of the Trench, a Jew from Khaybar paid Labid, a Jewish sorcerer who lived in Medina handsomely to cast a spell of deadly proportions on the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.

Labid collected eleven strands of the Prophet's hair, tied them into knots and as each knot was tied his daughters breathed upon them as they uttered devilish incantations. Labid then attached the knotted strands of hair to a twig that had the pollen of a male date palm on it and threw it into a very deep well.

The only way to deactivate the spell was for each of the knots to be untied, however, the well would first have to be found and Labid was the only one who knew which one he had thrown it into.

Shortly after the spell had been cast the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, started to grow weak and lost his appetite. He did not know what was causing this sudden weakness, so he supplicated to Allah for a cure. As he slept he became aware of the presence of two angels, one sat at his head and the other at his feet and they told him the reason for his illness and the name of the well. Not long after their departure the Angel Gabriel came to him and told him to recite two short chapters that contained eleven verses,

"Say, 'I take refuge with the Lord of Daybreak
from the evil of what He has created
from the evil of the darkness when it gathers
from the evil of blowers on knots;
from the evil of the envier when he envies.'"
Chapter 113

"Say, 'I take refuge with the Lord of people
the King of people
the God of people,
from the evil of the slinking whisperer
who whispers in the chests of people
both jinn and people.'"
Chapter 114

As the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, recited each verse a knot became untied and he regained his strength.

As for Labid, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, called for him to come to him, but in his mercy the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, took no action against Labid when he confessed that he had taken a bribe in exchange of his sorcery. Soon after the water-well was filled in, and a new one was dug nearby.

Khaybar: The Jewish settlement in Khaybar had many
Khaybar was a Jewish settlement with many well-armed and fortified forts. Despite the Prophet’s numerous attempts to live peacefully with the Jews they remained hostile toward him and the Muslims. A while before, it had been one of their tribesmen who had joined with Huyay from the tribe of Nadir and succeeded to incited the Koraysh to rise up against the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. Then again, in an attempt to ensure the Koraysh victory at the Battle of the Trench the Jews of Khaybar had bribed the Arab tribes of Ghatfan with the promise of one third of their date harvest in return for their support.

Khaybar was known to be particularly wealthy, and this in itself presented a source of danger to the existence of the Muslims as the Jews had already shown their ability and willingness to use their wealth against them.

To ensure the future safety of the Muslims right to exist and practice their religion, it was evident that something had to be done about Khaybar and so it was decided to quell their resistance. ..... a click away
