How did the Rawafid come up with allegations accusing the Prophet of looking at women's private parts, of treachery, and of placing his face between Fatimah's breasts?
The source of these reprehensible narrations is the book Bihar al-Anwar by Mullah Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi, which is the most extensive collection among the Shia. It contains lies and falsehoods that rational Shia themselves denounce. Examples include narrations accusing the Prophet (peace be upon him) of lustfully gazing at Zaynab, the wife of Zayd, and narrations describing inappropriate acts between the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his daughter Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), such as him placing his face between her breasts.
Additionally, a weak narration about the Prophet kissing Fatimah's face is mentioned in Sunni books, but it is also from Shia narration, and its chain of transmission is very weak. Among the false narrations that are not proven is the story of the quince from Paradise that the Prophet (peace be upon him) ate, which was the cause of Khadijah's pregnancy with Fatimah, and that he would smell Fatimah's neck when he longed for the scent of Paradise. This hadith is fabricated by scholarly consensus, and Fatimah was born before prophethood, whereas the Isra (Night Journey) occurred after Khadijah's death, which exposes the fabrication of this hadith.
