“Satanic verses”

This is based on a false report. Ibn Katheer and others
said:

 There is no saheeh isnaad from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning this report, which
says that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
“recited Soorat al-Najm to the mushrikeen until he reached the verses
(interpretation of the meaning) ‘Have
you then considered Al-Laat, and Al-‘Uzzaa (two idols of the
pagan Arabs),And Manaat
(another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?’ [al-Najm 53:19-20
– interpretation of the meaning].
Then the Shaytaan put words into the mouth of the Prophet
(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said: ‘they are the exalted gharaneeq,
whose intercession is to be hopedfor.’
The kuffaar were pleased with this praise of their three idols, so they
prostrated.”

 This
report is undoubtedly false on a number of counts.

 1.Its isnaad is very
weak and is not saheeh.

2.The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was
infallible with regard to the conveying of his Message.

3.Even if this report was saheeh, for argument’s sake, the scholars
have stated that it is to be understood as meaning that the Shaytaan
caused the kuffaar to hear these words, not that he put them in the mouth
of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so they
heard them from him.

 See Ibn Katheer’s refutation of this in his
tafseer of Soorat al-Hajj 22:52.
And Allaah knows best.
