[226] Guillaume, Muhammad, p. 623; Tabari, History, vol. 9, p. 73; Well-
hausen, Medina, pp. 414 f. As a possible motive for Muhammad's actions
with respect to `Abdullah b. Ubayy, cf. Guillaume, Muhammad, p. 235,
where Muhammad is reported to have said that the death of someone else
was unfortunate, because the Jews and hypocrites would then say: "If he
(Muhammad) were a prophet, his companion would not die."
