O brothers, I am a Sunni Muslim. I saw on YouTube video clips of a Shia scholar talking about Aisha killing the Prophet, peace be upon him, and that there were three attempts to kill him by Abu Bakr and Umar through their daughters Hafsa and Aisha. What frightened me was Aisha's hadith \"We administered medicine to the Messenger of Allah,\" where the Shia claim that she poisoned him after he forbade them from administering medicine to him, then he fell ill and passed away.

The response to the allegations of the Rafidah about attempts to assassinate the Prophet, peace be upon him, by Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, as they claimed three attempts:

The first: Before Umar's conversion to Islam, and this is false because he was a polytheist at that time.

The second: In Tabuk, where they alleged an attempt to throw him from a high place, but the truth is that the hypocrites were the ones who attempted that, not the companions.

The third: Their claim that Aisha and Hafsa poisoned the Prophet at the behest of their fathers. In reality, the women consulted about giving him medicine, thinking that he was suffering from pleurisy, and the Prophet ordered them to take the same medicine as a punishment for disobeying his command.

It has been shown that the claims of the Rafidah are false and their arguments weak, and that the Prophet's death was due to the poison put by the Jewish woman in the food, not due to the alleged assassination attempts.
