1. In chapter 108 of Quran it is said that the Quraysh used to call Prophet (saww) “Al-Abtar” or one who has no offspring (since Fatimah was not born at the early part of his mission). Tafsir Ibn Kathri says about the last verse of Sura Kawsar; "…Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Said bin Jubayr and Qatadah all said, "This Ayah was revealed about Al-As bin Wa'il. Whenever the Messenger of Allah would be mentioned (in his presence) he would say, Leave him, for indeed he is a man who is cut off having no descendants. So when he dies he will not be remembered.’ " So if the Prophet (saww) had all these biological, living daughters then why was he called one with “no descendants” until the birth of Fatimah (as)?

i just re-read tasfir of ibn kathir rah

gosh you actually took one sentence from his tafsir to try to prove your point. i also see why you did not post the ayah itself

is there a shia alive who can call this form of propaganda/manipulation as islam?
