.."They say that when Mohammed was 60 years old, he was shepherding the sheep in the desert, with one of his relatives, another boy. And then, two men with white apparel came, and made Mohammed to sleep on the sand. They opened his heart, his breast, got out his heart, cleansed it in a basin, and after that they put it back. They took something out of the heart of Mohammed and then they put it back."

"I always say that this is an indication that every human being is born with sin. Or else, why was it necessary for two men to come and open Mohammed's breast, and get his heart, and cleanse it, if it is already clean? It is an indication that he inherited sin, and he needed to be cleaned of that sin." this is why the writer said it happened & i didnt know if it was literal or not, thats why i asked? Just a Q, not meant to Offend ya'll :)

Something similar happened when he was *6*, not 60.
However, the asumption that you posted is incorrect. It is based on the notion of the Christian idea of original sin, which is not valid in Islam. His heart was cleansed of humanity's natural tendency to disobey God's command. Humans are fallible and make mistakes, so the sin that was washed from his heart was to ensure that when he delivered the final Message, it would be perfect and completely correct without any mistakes, especially when the Qur'an was revealed to him.

Whomever wrote that is the most sinful of all..since he wrote a whole lot of untruths and nothing is in context or even factual! Yes, Prophet Mohammad's heart was taken out and washed..but at the very young age of 9...or so it was told by two shepherds who witnessed the occasion? The reason it seems was because he had a heart disease until that day and could hardly walk without being blue-lip and tired..but after this event..he seemed to be rid of the illness and didn't have any heart troubles anymore... So do you see the deception of this person? Taking parts and making up his own to deceive?

Sounds like time travelers performed open heart surgery on Mohamed when he was 60...or this is a modern interpolation... William Occam's Razor might suggest the latter..

"They say" is Hearsay and that is what Hadeeth is about, Arab fabrication to make Muhammad a bigger miracle than Jesus after they fabricated the presence of Jesus in the Quran when they go to the Bible with which to judge the Quran, for which Allah in the Quran makes them infidels (Quran 5: 47,48,52).
You should hear some of their other Hadeeth. There is one that says the prophet said that women in Jannah are so beautiful that a man can spend forty years staring at the beautiful face of a woman there, and what a load of crap that is?

they used to teach this in Muslim schools and I don't know if they still do but the children have to answer yes if they want to pass the exam, otherwise they can answer no and fail the exam.

no that never happened.
i can't believe how many false claims appear every day!! obviously Christians are too jealous of the growth of Islam and are trying to refute it by any means possible.
that website is full of crap.
I'd look up Islamic websites if i want to know he truth not propaganda that tell such pathetic lies.
