1. Muhammad Thought He Was Demon-Possessed and Attempted Suicide
After his first revelation in the Cave of Hira, Muhammad feared he was possessed by a demon or going mad (common pre-Islamic association of inspiration with jinn/demons).
During a pause in revelations (fatra period), he repeatedly tried to throw himself from mountain tops in despair, but the angel Gabriel intervened each time to reassure him.

2. Delivered Revelations from Satan (The Satanic Verses Incident)
Muhammad recited verses during Surah 53 (An-Najm) that temporarily praised pagan goddesses (al-Lat, al-Uzza, Manat) as intercessors to reconcile with his Quraysh tribe.
This pleased the polytheists (they prostrated with Muslims), but he later retracted them, claiming Satan had inserted the words.
The Quran addresses satanic suggestions to prophets (e.g., 22:52).

3. Victim of a Magic Spell (Bewitchment)
Muhammad was allegedly bewitched by a Jewish man (Labid bin al-A'sam) using knotted hair, a comb, etc., hidden in a well.
This caused delusions (e.g., thinking he had relations with wives when he hadn't); it lasted about a year.
He was cured after revelation of Surahs 113–114 (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) to undo the knots.

4. Accepted Poisoned Meal from Jewish Woman After Khaybar and Died from It
After conquering Khaybar and the slaughter of a Jewish family's men, a woman (Zaynab bint al-Harith) offered Muhammad poisoned roasted sheep/goat.
He ate some, was warned, spat it out, but effects lingered.
On his deathbed years later, he expressed ongoing pain from the poison.
References/Links:
Sahih al-Bukhari 5:59:713 (or 4428 in some editions): Narrated Aisha – "O Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."
Additional narrations in Sahih Muslim and biographies (e.g., Ibn Ishaq).
Answering-Islam-related discussions (cross-referenced in multiple articles).
5. Died Saying His Aorta Was Cut Off, Matching Quran's Threat to False Prophets
Quran threatens: If Muhammad fabricated sayings against Allah, God would seize him and cut off his aorta (al-wateen).
Video links this to deathbed words about feeling his aorta severed by the poison.
Presented as fulfillment of the "false prophet" test.
References/Links:
Quran 69:44–46 (Surah Al-Haqqah): "And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand. Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta."
Sahih al-Bukhari 4428 (Aisha's narration on deathbed aorta feeling).
Cross-references in hadith collections and tafsir.
6. Marriage to Zaynab (Adopted Son's Wife) and Abolition of Adoption
Muhammad saw Zaynab bint Jahsh (wife of adopted son Zayd) unveiled/nearly naked, leading to attraction.
Zayd divorced her; Muhammad married her, causing scandal (seen as incest-like due to adoption).
Quran abrogated adoption rules (making Zayd not a true son) to justify it (Surah 33:37).
References/Links:
Quran 33:37 (on the marriage and abolition of adoption customs).
Related hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sirah accounts.
Answering-Islam discussions (often in broader critiques, e.g., linked to personal life claims).
7. Other Personal Claims (e.g., Sucking Tongues of Boys, Covered in Semen)
These are scattered polemical references to hadith on habits/interactions (e.g., with grandchildren or others), often interpreted critically.
Video uses them to portray repulsive behavior inconsistent with a divine prophet.
