On Muhammad's (saw) source of medical knowledge. Was he taught by al-Harith or did he get his info from Jundishapur? By Shah Saaib Ahmed Rabbani
There a few things to be noted.
1. Similarity doesn't mean plagiarism
2. None of Muhammad's (saw) contemporaries ever accused him of being the author of Quran.
3. For someone to say Muhammad (saw) learnt the thing from a particular person he has to provide a proof, A HISTORICAL PROOF. And there exists none.
4. There are scholars who dispute the very existence of such a school of Jundishapur as a major intellectual center.
5. The Jundishapur school persisted under Muslims for years. Its highly unlikely that the link between Muhammad (saw) and this school would have gone un-noticed.
6. The historical evidence for the existence of this learned person is also debatable. You can refer to "The Development of the Biography of al-Harith ibn Kalada and the Relationship between Medicine and Islam". So much is this famous person shrouded in mystery that he has even been believed to have converted to Islam. Now if this case is true, as William Brice argues, then the story of he being Muhammad's (saw) source of knowledge falls on its face.
You can refer to two nice essays on this subject. One is written by Khalid al-Khazaraji and Elias Kareem and the name of paper is "Was al-Harith bin Kaladah the Source of the Prophet's Medical Knowledge?." This 12 page essay is availabe online. And other essay you can refer to is written by Hamza Andreas Tzortzis "Did the Prophet Muhammad (saw) Plagiarise Hellenic Embryology?". This paper can be downloaded from IERA's website...See more
