the whole story could be untrustworthy, being crowded with fictitious details, legends, and stories by his companion or chief biographers that are Ibn Ishaq (A.H. 151=A.D. 768), Wakidi (207=822), Ibn Hisham (213=828), Ibn Sa'd (230=845), Tirmidhi (279=892), Tabari (310-929).
That could lead to artificial, legendary development, rather than supplementary historical information.

*NONE* of the writings attributed to or about the Prophet (grtbg) were written during his lifetime for the simple reason that he was illiterate. All were collected and formalized afterwards by other people, some texts not reaching their current form until he had been dead for 2 centuries.
