Did the prophet Mohammed ever doubted that his "visions" were inspired by God?

Question

I read that Mohammed's wife had to reassure that his visions were inspired by God not Satan.

Is there any truth in this?

Answer 1

...It is clear that for the Prophet the Wahy was an awe-inspiring experience. He felt physically crushed by it and was emotionally overpowered by the weight and majesty of the message as it sank into his psyche.
The words that Khadijah used to reassure Muhammad (S) when he went home after the first revelation, obviously shaken by the experience, are particularly insightful. When Muhammad (S) cried out in anguish, "'Woe, have I become a poet or am I possessed?" Khadijah answered, "'Allah will never disgrace you thus. You keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist those afflicted by calamity."
With this first revelation in 610 CE, at forty years of age, the second phase in Muhammad's (S) life began; a phase of private preaching of Islam. Along with this discreet spread of Islam came hardship, and continuing self-doubt and need for reassurance.
Muhammad's (S) doubts about the nature of what was happening to him must have been exacerbated during a long period (six months to two years called fatrah or break) without any revelation. In addition there must have been a sense of absolute loneliness. Any individual who sets out with a vision that truly is unique will be predictably lonely in the beginning. It is the very uniqueness of the mission, which makes one lonely. Frequently, the individual is the victim of derision, sarcasm, and jest.....

------------------------------------
...Second, the author of the Quran very harshly warns and rebukes Muhammad for doubting whether revelation was being sent to him. As we had noted in our initial article some have tried to deny that Muhammad is being addressed here and say that the Quran is speaking to others through Muhammad. One such Muslim who held such a view was the late Muslim scholar Muhammad Asad:

115 Some of the commentators assume that verses 94 and 95 are addressed to the Prophet Muhammad - an assumption which is highly implausible in view of the admonition (in verse 95), "Be not among those who are bent on giving the lie to God’s messages": for it is obvious that God’s chosen Prophet was never in danger of falling into such a sin. Consequently, Razi interprets these two verses as being addressed to man in general, and explains the reference to "what We have bestowed upon thee from on high" in the sense given in my rendering. This interpretation makes it clear, moreover, that the above passage is closely connected with verses 57-58, which speak of the guidance vouchsafed to mankind through the ultimate divine writ, the Qur’an. (online edition; bold emphasis ours)

There is a major problem with Asad’s exegesis. Had the author of the Quran wanted to make sure that the reader didn’t think that Muhammad was being rebuked here he could have made the address in the plural instead of the singular, i.e. "If any of you are in doubt…" He could have even added the Arabic Qul ("Say") or the words "O mankind", or something of that nature, much like he did several verses later:

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O you mankind! If you are in doubt as to my religion (Islam), then (know that) I will never worship those whom you worship, besides Allah. But I worship Allah Who causes you to die, I am commanded to be one of the believers. And (it is inspired to me): Direct your face (O Muhammad SAW) entirely towards the religion Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone), and never be one of the Mushrikun (those who ascribe partners to Allah, polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and those who worship others along with Allah). And invoke not besides Allah, any that will neither profit you, nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)… Say: "O you mankind! Now truth (i.e. the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad SAW), has come to you from your Lord. So whosoever receives guidance, he does so for the good of his own self, and whosoever goes astray, he does so to his own loss, and I am not (set) over you as a Wakil (disposer of affairs to oblige you for guidance)." S. 10:104-106, 108 Hilali-Khan

Any combination of these would have clearly demonstrated that the rebuke wasn’t directed at Muhammad. The author obviously didn’t use any of these expressions but chose to use the singular address which makes it quite apparent that Muhammad was getting rebuked at this point for wavering. Asad’s response is more of an attempt of salvaging Muhammad’s reputation and of trying to uphold the later Islamic position that Muhammad had perfect faith and was absolutely sinless....

Answer 2

"Is the Society God's Spirit-Directed, Uninspired genuine Prophet? in accordance to the Bible there are purely 2 varieties of prophets: a million) genuine Prophets 2) fake Prophets a) genuine prophets are inspired God B) fake prophets are actually not inspired by using God in accordance to the Society, the place do they in good shape into the above? As others have already observed, the Governing physique would not deny that the Society is or acts as God's purely genuine prophet. occasion: A careful reading of their financial ruin on "fake Prophets" in Reasoning From the Scriptures shows that they repeatedly examine the version between what genuine and fake prophets do and then element out that purely they meet the standards of a real prophet. Then on internet site 136 they point out their admired, "Jehovah's Witnesses do not declare to be inspired prophets." and additionally they don't deny being a prophet yet purely that they are an inspired prophet. curiously somebody got here up with the thought it’s all spectacular to place God’s call on their teachings and prophecies as long as they don’t declare to be inspired. And so up so some distance they are claiming to be a mix of a real and fake prophet: an uninspired genuine prophet.yet they declare even better than that. The Governing physique's 2d baptismal vow has observed the Society as "God's spirit-directed employer." And so, once you upload up all of the failings the Society does and would not declare to be, you wind up with a spirit-directed, uninspired genuine prophet. Has there ever been the variety of a prophet on any planet interior the history of the Universe? Is is conceivable to be directed by using God's spirit yet on the comparable time not be inspired by using God's spirit? this could seem yet another case the place Jehovah's Witnesses have purely not theory this rely by way of for themselves".

Answer 3

Moses doubted if he really listened from Jehovah, when he first saw the burning bush. Samuel had no idea what the voice is about, when he heard God called his name while asleep.
Does it bother you if he doubted what he saw first time? Why?? Feels so natural to me
