The Satanic Verses are words of "[[satan]]ic suggestion" which the Islamic [[prophet]] Muhammad is alleged to have mistaken for divine revelation. The words praise the three pagan Meccan goddesses: ''al-Lāt'', ''al-'Uzzá'', and ''Manāt'' and can be read in early prophetic biographies of Muhammad by al-Wāqidī, Ibn Sa'd and the tafsir of al-Tabarī. | The [[Satanic Verses]] are words of "[[satan]]ic suggestion" which the Islamic [[prophet]] Muhammad is alleged to have mistaken for divine revelation.
