Incident chest cleavage This was experienced by Prophet Muhammad SAW when he was under the care of Halimah in the Bani Sa’ad village, becoming one of the forms of irhas.
Launching in the book The Complete History of the Prophet Muhammad SAW: From Before the Prophethood to Afterward by Abdurrahman bin Abdul Karim, irhas is a special and extraordinary event for the future prophet or apostle of Allah SWT. When they were small or had not been appointed as apostles. This is at the same time proof that Allah SWT has chosen Muhammad to carry out this noble task.
The event of the splitting of the chest of the Prophet Muhammad SAW has been narrated through several lines of authentic narration by taking sources from many companions. One of them is Anas bin Malik Ra. who said:
“One day when the Prophet SAW was playing with some children, he was approached by the angel Jibril. Suddenly the angel Jibril grabbed the Rasulullah SAW and laid him down. After that, Jibril split the chest of the Rasulullah SAW and took out his heart. Then, the angel Jibril took out a lump blood from the heart of the Messenger of Allah by saying, “This is the place of Satan in you.”.
Further, the angel Gabriel washed the day of the Prophet SAW with zamzam water in a vessel made of gold, then returned the heart to its original place.
At that time, other children (while playing with Rasulullah SAW) went to their mother by shouting, “Muhammad was killed!”. After that they came to Muhammad who was still alive with a pale face.” (HR. Muslim)
Quoting from the book entitled Hidup Bersama Rasulullah Muhammad Shallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam by Uwais Inspirasi Indonesia, the event of the splitting of the chest of the Prophet Muhammad SAW occurred when the Prophet SAW was 4 years old or older.
After the incident, Halimah and her husband were worried if the incident would happen again. Therefore, when the Prophet Muhammad was more than 4 years old, he was handed over to his mother in the city of Mecca.
The purpose of Splitting the Chest of Rasulullah SAW
As in the book written by Abdurrahman bin Abdul Karim with the title The Complete History of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, the purpose of this event is to purify the heart of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. According to history, the life of the Prophet SAW was always clean, noble, and loved by others. When he was still a child, the angel Jibril split his chest right on the side that was the object of the devil in his heart to be removed, so that he lived with a pure and clean heart.
Then, at the event of the second splitting of the Prophet’s chest was when he was 10 years old. The purpose of this second event is to make her a perfect human being and a role model for the whole world.
Such is the state of the Prophet SAW, according to Aminah’s confession. He said, “By Allah, Satan will not succeed in penetrating it.” He was protected by Allah SWT from the life of ignorance that took place around him, so he received the title of Al Amin from the people of Makkah.
Prophet Muhammad SAW also often went to Hira cave, there he worshiped and thought so that he increased virtue in himself and strengthened his spirit of faith.
