In reality the real reason that orientalists have based all of their studies on the Caliphate schools books and records is the existence of these weak points, thus introducing Islam and its Prophet according to the view points found in them; because this way they can better make Islam the target of their hostile attacks and criticisms. The original instigators however strived to bring the Prophets personality even lower than that of an average person with these narratives.
This was so first of all they could remove all credibility from his words which represent Islam, and second of all so that Caliphs after him would be comparable with him and even better than him. This would as a result give the Caliphate its necessary credibility and value. The Prophet Forgets Quranic Verses. The third group in this type of narrative which attacks the Holy Prophets identity are those which try to prove that the Prophet was forgetful.
They say that he even forgot the Quranic verses revealed to himself, taught to the people himself, and was commanded by God to explain and interpret, as if he wasn't familiar with it at all.
We see these statements in the narratives to follow: According to a narrative reported by Bukhari, Muslim and other creditable experts of Hadiths, Aishah and Abu Huraireh have related: One day while the Prophet was sitting in the Mosque he heard a Muslim reciting the Quran, then saying: May God have mercy on him. This reciter and reader of the Quran has reminded me of verses that I had completely forgotten and had been dropping from a certain surah in the Quran.
213 In this narrative such has been related form A'ishah. Now lets see what God says in the Quran: We will make you recite so you shall not forget". 214 Quranic commentators have said: Before this verse was revealed, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) would repeat the Quranic verses as they were revealed so he wouldn't forget them. Even before the verse was completed he began reciting it.
But after this verse was revealed the Prophet was no longer afraid of forgetting them and he became content with God's support. As such we see that in other verses the Prophet is commanded: "Do not move you tongue with it to make haste with it, surely on Us (devolves) the collection of it and the reciting of it. Therefore when We have recited it, follow it's recitation. Again on us (devolves) the explaining of it".
