Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah;
This is a question than pertains to the story of these Christians when they visited Rasulullah [sallallahu alaihi wa sallam] at his masjid in Madinah.
Allah is The Best Knower, but it seems many Orientalist are now attempting to continue misleading the uneducated Muslims by telling them that; [1] Rasulullah [sallallahu alaihi wa sallam] allowed these Chrstians to stay in the masjid for three days and [2] that he also allowed them to pray in the masjid. They also use this to advocate "inter-faith tolerance."
Astaghfirullaha Ta'Ala.
UPDATED NOTE 06/12/05: If anyone has Siratu Rasul of Ibn Ishaq translated by A. Guilliame as LIFE OF MUHAMMAD reference is made to this book.
