To add to that, I
asked two students of knowledge and this was the response:
Quote:

He is referring to the famous incident of the 'Satanic verses'.... All IAW did was to quote a narration which is often quoted by scholars writing the Sira... Some scholars weakened the narration (like al-Albani), while other deemed it authentic, such as Ibn Hajar, but then gave it an appropriate explanation.

Quote:
Shaikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab said, quoting the narration the above claim is speaking about:
Quote: | ومما وقع أيضا: قصته صلى الله عليه وسلم معهم - لما قرأ سورة النجم بحضرتهم - فلما وصل إلى قوله: { أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى }{ وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى } (1) ألقى الشيطان في تلاوته: تلك الغرانيق العلى، وإن شفاعتهن لترتجى. وظنوا أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قاله، ففرحوا بذلك فرحا شديدا، وتلقاها الصغير والكبير منهم، وقالوا كلاما معناه: هذا الذي نريد، نحن نقر أن الله هو الخالق الرازق، المدبر للأمور، ولكن نريد شفاعتها عنده. فإذا أقر بذلك فليس بيننا وبينه أي خلاف.
| " and from what happened also: his story (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with them (the Mushrikeen)- when he read surat an Najm in their presence- so when he reached His (Allah's) saying-translation of the meaning: "Have you then considered Al-Lât, and Al-'Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs) And Manât (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third? " (53:19-20), the shaytan threw in his recitation (tilawah): "those are the exalted Gharaniq, whose intercession is hoped for". so they (the mushrikeen) THOUGHT that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that, so they became extremely happy for that ...... (to the end of the story).
Ibn Hajar al Asqalani rahimahu Allah mentioned in regards to this story-narration (after mentioning different explanations regarding this incident)
Quote: | وَقِيلَ : كَانَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرَتِّل الْقُرْآن فَارْتَصَدَهُ الشَّيْطَان فِي سَكْتَةٍ مِنْ السَّكَتَاتِ وَنَطَقَ بِتِلْكَ الْكَلِمَات مُحَاكِيًا نَغْمَتَهُ بِحَيْثُ سَمِعَهُ مَنْ دَنَا إِلَيْهِ فَظَنَّهَا مِنْ قَوْله وَأَشَاعَهَا . قَالَ : وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ الْوُجُوهِ . وَيُؤَيِّدُهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ فِي صَدْرِ الْكَلَام عَنْ اِبْن عَبَّاس مِنْ تَفْسِير ( تَمَنَّى ) بِتَلَا . وَكَذَا اِسْتَحْسَنَ اِبْن الْعَرَبِيّ هَذَا التَّأْوِيل وَقَالَ قَبْلَهُ : إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَة نَصٌّ فِي مَذْهَبنَا فِي ، بَرَاءَة النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّا نُسِبَ إِلَيْهِ - قَالَ : وَمَعْنَى قَوْله : ( فِي أُمْنِيَتِهِ ) أَيْ فِي تِلَاوَته ، فَأَخْبَرَ تَعَالَى فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَة أَنَّ سُنَّتَهُ فِي رُسُله إِذَا قَالُوا قَوْلًا زَادَ الشَّيْطَان فِيهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسه ، فَهَذَا نَصّ فِي أَنَّ الشَّيْطَان زَادَهُ فِي قَوْل النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَهُ قَالَ : وَقَدْ سَبَقَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الطَّبَرِيُّ لِجَلَالَةِ قَدْره وَسِعَة عِلْمه وَشِدَّة سَاعِده فِي النَّظَر فَصَوَّبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَعْنَى وَحَوَّمَ عَلَيْهِ .
| and it is said: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was reciting the Quran, so the Shaitan watched for a silent moment (in his recitation) and said those words (in that silent moment), imitating the recitation-tone of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), in which anyone who came close to him would hear it, and THINK it was from his saying, and he spread it around. He said: and this is the best view-explanation. and what we said in the begining supports this, narrated Ibn Abbas (radiyallahu anhu) in tafsir of (tamanna) (22:49) he recited. And Ibn alArabi (al Maliki) considered this view the most suitable-appropriate, and said before that: and this ayah is a proof for out madhhab, for the innocence of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from what was attributed to him.
He said: and the meaning of Allah's saying (fi Umniyatihi-22:49) in his recitation....
also this explanation was mentioned in Kashmiri's sharh of sunan at Tirmidhi (al urf ash Shadhi), and Mulla Ali Qari in (Mirqat al Mafatih), and others.

هَلْ جَزَاء الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ؟
Is there any reward for good other than good?

"
However, keep in mind that you must instruct the people with kindness and mercy. Don’t take this answer and shove it in their faces. Be kind, gentle and patient." -
Imam Suhaib Webb, advising after giving an answer.
* Official Member of the Poet Crew * O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You will judge between Your servants concerning that wherein they differ. Guide me with regard to that wherein there is dispute concerning the truth by Your leave, for You guide whomsoever You will to the straight path.
Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.
