Summary
The claim that the Prophet suffered at his death because he lied is a baseless doubt raised by those hostile to Islam. The verses and the hadith belong to two different contexts. The ruling explains that the Prophet died three years after eating the poisoned meat, whereas the verse speaks of immediate punishment if he had lied. The vein mentioned in the hadith (al-Abhar) also differs from the one in the verse (al-Wateen), and his words were a figure of speech (kinayah) describing pain.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Syubhah derita Nabi SAW ketika wafat akibat berdusta merupakan syubhah yang dibawa oleh golongan yang benci terhadap agama Islam dan ia tidak mempunyai asas sama sekali.
