Accusations of sorcery against Muḥammad (PBUH) in early Islam represent a pivotal intersection between societal perceptions of prophetic authority and esoteric practices. These claims, rooted in pre-Islamic Arabian thought, were frequently employed by opponents of Islam to delegitimize Muḥammad's message by framing his miracles and revelations as acts of magic. This paper explores how these accusations are addressed in Kitāb 'Uyūn al-Majālis, a 4th-century manuscript by al-Ḥaddādī al-Bukhārī, offering a unique perspective on the interplay between prophecy, occult sciences, and societal reactions. The study examines the historical and cultural contexts within which such accusations arose, with a specific focus on how al-Ḥaddādī interprets these claims within a broader theological framework. By comparing this narrative to other contemporary works from Greater Khorasan, including al-Balkhī's Kitāb al-Badʾ wa al-Tārīkh, this research highlights regional intellectual trends concerning the boundaries between the divine and the esoteric. Furthermore, it investigates the underlying power dynamics, exploring how accusations of sorcery functioned as tools of opposition and as reflections of societal anxieties about the transformative nature of Muḥammad's message. This analysis aims to deepen our understanding of early Islamic discourse on prophecy, occult sciences, and the construction of religious authority. Through its focus on 'Uyūn al-Majālis, the paper contributes to a nuanced appreciation of the intersections between early Islamic theology and cultural resistance to the prophetic message.
