Year of birth

According to this page, Hafsa bint Umar was born five years before the appearance of Muhammad as a prophet in 610. That means she was born around the year 605. —MK (talk) 09:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

According to Al-Tabri (vol. 39 p. 174): "Hafsah was born while the Quraysh were building the Ka'bah, five years before the Prophet was sent on his divine mission." This would have been the year that began on 30 January 605 and ended on 19 January 606 (Gregorian), i.e. 18 B.H.Petra MacDonald 01:40, 20 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)

Poisoned

"It is also a common belief in both sects that Hafsa, along with Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, poisoned Muhammad, ultimately leading to his death. Therefore both are cursed from this day to the day of judgment." Where is the proof that Sunnis believe like this? To my knowledge this claim is absolutely incorrect & totally baseless! The historical fact is that he was poisoned by the jewish women when she presented cooked sheep over a heap of rice to the Prophet at the culmination of Battle of Khyber which the Muslims won. When asked of the crime she said she did it deliberately to verify the truth of the Prophethood, if he was a true Prophet he would know,& if he was otherwise then good riddance. Actually Angel Gabriel had informed him that the sheep was poisoned but only after the Prophet had taken a bite, since God had written on him & wanted him to grant him a reward for martyrdom in addition to the Prophethood. The prophet spit out his bite & informed other companions of the poisoned sheep so they will not eat, but one of his companion God had written on him martyrdom as well so Barra bin Aazib had already taken bite & he was martyred of the poison & thereafter each time the prophet would fall sick he would feel the effect of poison in his body, until the prophet was martyred after 3 years of the event by the poison in his body. Thereafter whenever he will fall ill he would feel the ill effects of the poison in his body. As the Prophet was protected by God from the actions of the people, the poison remained in his body but was not effective & it started showing its effects only as the God's written time of death approached for the Prophet in his last ten days, until death overtook him.

Date of Marriage

The article states that she married Muhammad after the Battle of Badr in 2 AH. However the article on Hafsa's former husband, Khunais ibn Hudhaifa, claims he died of his wounds after the Battle of Uhud (3 AH), after which she married Muhammad. It looks like this article needs a bit of clarification. Cybjorg (talk) 19:45, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

It sounds to me as if someone has confused Hafsa with Hind (Umm Salama), another wife of Muhammad. Hafsa's husband died in 624 of battle wounds incurred at Badr. Hind's husband died in 625 of battle wounds incurred at Uhud. Hafsa married Muhammad before Uhud, so any suggestion that Khunays lived long enough to fight at Uhud is not correct. Ibn Saad gives all these details in multiple narrations, and there is no internal inconsistency whatsoever.Petra MacDonald 12:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)

Okay, I've checked. The statement that Khunays fought at Uhud was sourced to a dead link that appeared to have been a Muslim hagiography when it was alive. So I have removed this information and replaced it with the references to Khunays's death found in Ibn Saad.Petra MacDonald 02:36, 5 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)
