Can the claims of atheists and enemies of Islam be refuted, who argue that the Prophet did not receive the revelation, citing Aisha's statement: "I do not see your Lord but that He hastens to fulfill your desires"?
Whoever reads the Quran with the intention of knowing the truth will be convinced that it is from Allah. The atheists' claim that nothing was revealed to the Prophet is false. Their proof, Aisha's narration "I do not see your Lord but hastening to fulfill your desire," is an authentic hadith and poses no problem; rather, it is proof of the truthfulness of the message. Aisha affirmed that Allah grants ease to the Prophet, and it is not the Prophet who grants ease to himself. Moreover, the hadith indicates Allah's granting of ease to the Prophet in matters related specifically to women, and not in everything. This is further confirmed by the fact that the Quran was revealed, reproaching the Prophet in several places, and that the Prophet asked his Lord for three things, and He answered two of them and withheld one. Therefore, one must be keen on beneficial knowledge and stay away from the doubts of those who mislead.
