Satanic Verses
The Satanic Verses are words of "satanic suggestion" allegedly mistaken by the Islamic prophet Muhammad for divine revelation. The incident is documented in early prophetic biographies and tafsirs, but most Islamic scholars have rejected it as inconsistent with Muhammad's infallibility. The story is accepted as true by some modern scholars, who argue that it is implausible that early Muslim biographers would fabricate such an unflattering story about their prophet. However, others propose that the story may be the result of historical telescoping or fabrications for theological reasons. The narrative varies across accounts, but typically involves Muhammad reciting verses that praise the three pre-Islamic Arabian goddesses Al-Lāt, al-'Uzzá, and Manāt, before later rejecting them as satanic.learn more on wikipedia
