Allah informed us that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was sent as a mercy to the worlds. He forgave Quraysh and the Jewess who poisoned him. The Messenger never took revenge for himself unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated. As for the news of the killing of Asma bint Marwan, it is false and fabricated, a promotion by liars, as its narrators are liars and abandoned. The Messenger, peace be upon him, used to forbid the killing of women in wars.
