The holy Prophet’s (p.b.u.h.) seclusion ortahannothin Hira’ Cave is one of the issues associated with his life before his delegation as a prophet. Relying on the narrations mentioned byShiite and Sunni resources, most scholars haveconsideredtahannothin Hira’ Cave as a part of the Prophets’ life while these narrations are not sound enough from implicational as well as documentationalviewpoints. Narrations suggestingthe holy Prophet’s (p.b.u.h.)tahannothin Hira’ Cave have variedcontent problems such as disagreement with the verses of the Quran and intellect, on the one hand, and the lack sound chain of transmission,on the other.Furthermore,seclusion in Hira’ Cave is in contradiction with the Holy Prophet’s (p.b.u.h.) being a model clearly mentioned in verse 21,SurahAhzab.
