Definition of assassin; Assassin can be translated as a murderer who is contracted or politically motivated (could also be for money, revenge, etc).Accusing someone an assassin is a serious charge. In order to proof that, we need to have the correct information, supported by genuine evidence. Here, I present some information gained from the authentic sources in order to proof this accusation
1. The attitude of Prophet Muhammad
a) His attitude towards his enemy
Narrated 'Abdullah: As if I am looking at the Prophet while he was speaking about one of the prophets whose people have beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face and saying, "O Lord! Forgive my people as they do not know." BUkhari Volume 9, Book 84, Number 63
b) His attitude in general & his lesson on morality
Masruq reported: We went to Abdullah b. 'Amr when Mu'dwiya came to Kufa, and he made a mention of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: He was never immoderate in his talk and he never reviled others. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) also said: The best amongst you are those who are best in morals. (Muslim;Book 030, Number 5740)
2. Prophetic attitude towards women
Narrated Anas bin Malik: A Jewish woman brought a poisoned (cooked) sheep for the Prophet who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and he was asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No." I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of God’s Apostle. (Sahih al-Bukhârî, Volume 3, Book 47, Number 786)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) refused to kill a woman who did intentionally try to poison him, but some people, using a fabricated story, wants us to believe that he ordered the killing of a woman who only abused him verbally.
Allah 's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."(Bukhari; Volume 4, Book 55, Number 548)
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Messenger of God (peace be upon him) saw the corpse of a woman who had been slain in one of the raids, and he disapproved of it and forbade the killing of women and children. (Sahih-ul-Bukhârî, Volume 4, Book 52, Numbers 257 & 258. Also see Mutta Malik, Book 21, Section 3, Number 9)
Even after the Prophet's demise, his Sunnah was preserved by the Muslims ...
3. The teaching of Muhammad
From History (adopted from the authentic sources), Muhammad has taught all mankind to have total submission to Allah, respect the elders and love the younger’s. He taught about equal rights and respect for women, and to treat women nicely.
He taught that the rich and poor are alike in the sight of God and that their good deeds will help them meet God in heaven.
Sûrah al Hujurât 49. 13"O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you"
He taught people to live honestly and that working hard to earn a living is also considered worship of God.
