Cross dressing

[Devolution]

Fr. Botros: “Perhaps Muslims think that he only dressed in Aisha’s clothes? Being that she was his “favorite,” perhaps after being intimate with her, he would merely lay in bed with her clothes?” (Here the priest put his face in his hands lamenting that he had to talk of such shameful things.)
Then he offered an interesting and revealing hadith, from Sahih Bukhari (2/911), which records Muhammad saying, “Revelations never come to me when I’m dressed in women’s clothing—except when I’m dressed in Aisha’s,” implying that it was something of a habit for the prophet to dress in female clothing.

Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God

No prophet of God would EVER dress as a woman…ever….nor did they!!
Not a prophet of the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacobs anyway!!

There is no such Hadith but of course I am sure you looked up the Hadith before you posted, right?

Volume 2 only goes up to 2/823

I don't even study Hadiths but guess what it only took a few minutes of Honest to goodness research to find that either your source is incorrect or misleading. but lets look and see something else. Here is the actual verses where slick sam and others got the idea to deceive if you choose to read it fine click the link

Then again I know you aretoo lazy to do that and you love cut and paste so here are the facts below:

Did Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) cross-dress? Sam Shamoun exposed!
If you are looking to know about Islam, be wary of the fact that there are some insane souls who are nothing but deceivers and they claim to ‘unveil’ Islam. One of such big fraudsters is Sam Shamoun. Invariably his every article is heap of lies and deceits. In the following lines we expose just one more lie as a test case for those who are yet to see him at his best

He claims that the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, on whom be the peace and blessings of Almighty Allah, used to cross dress. He refers to two narrations and we shall expose his deceit skills just below.

Hadith 1:

The first Hadith he uses is from Sahih Bukhari. He translates it as;

Narrated by Ismail, narrated by his brother, narrated by Sulaiman, narrated by Hisham Ibn Urwah, narrated by his father, narrated by Aisha who related that the wives of the prophet were divided into two groups. One group consisted of Aisha, Hafsa, Safiya and Sawdah while the other group consisted of Um Salamah and the rest of the women that belonged to the prophet. The Muslims had learned of the great love that the prophet had for Aisha so that if one of them had a gift he desired to give to the prophet, he would delay giving it until the prophet came to Aisha’s house. Then the group who sided with Um Salamah came to Um Salamah and asked her to tell the prophet that he should command the people that if any of them had a gift to give to the prophet, they should give it him in whatever house of his wives the prophet was in at the time. So Um Salamah went and talked with the prophet but he did not respond to her. When the group asked her what the prophet said she told them that he did not respond. So they asked her to go talk to him again until he responds… then the prophet said to her, “Do not hurt me with Aisha, for the inspiration did not come upon when I was (wearing) A WOMAN’S CLOTHES (Thowb) EXCEPT THAT OF AISHA.” (Source- http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?hnum=2393&doc=0)

Actual wording of the Hadith:

1- This is a long Hadith. Arabic wording for the last portion he uses to slander goes as;

لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّ الْوَحْيَ لَمْ يَأْتِنِي وَأَنَا فِي ثَوْبِ امْرَأَةٍ إِلَّا عَائِشَةَ

Its correct literal translation has to be:

“Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me when I am in the [thowb] cloth (i.e. blanket) of any of wives except [in that of] Aisha.” (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 2393)

2- Here I have translated the word ‘thowb’ as cloth and in bracket I wrote ‘blanket’ for that is what it means.

Another version of the same narration:

3- This becomes further clear from the following narration, also from Sahih Bukhari, in which these last words are rendered as;

لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ الْوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ غَيْرِهَا

“Don't trouble me regarding 'Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.” (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 3491)

Here the actual word is ‘lihaaf’ which literally means ‘blanket’.

Meaning of the word ‘lihaaf’:

4- Edward William Lane in Arab-English Lexicon writes about the word ‘lihaaf’

See his lexicon p. 3008.

Words are used interchangeably:

5- And as لِحَافِ (lihaaf) i.e. 'blanket' is made of ثَوْبِ (thowb) i.e. 'cloth' so these words are interchangeably used in various narrations.

Lie exposed:

Actually after I put a response to this I realize that even the original post you used is so ridiculous it didn't need a response. Just think logically why would anyone say a sentence like the one you quoted it wouldn't make sense even if The Prophet was a cross dresser(Although obviously he was not) sometimes you have to use your own brain for instance if you say Muhammad is a pedophile why would he have wives of varying ages and one who is young and no other young ones would you consider him a geiphile because his first wife was older? Sometimes you have to just use your sense.
