They are legends.. the Quran is very clear on this... Muhammed didn't perform any miracles.
Proof:
Surah: Ta ha
133
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى
Surah: Thunder
السورة الرعد آية 7
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْلآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرٌ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ
Surah: Spider.
العنكبوت
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ?50? أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ أَنَّا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرَى لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ?51?
Surah: Isra
السورة الاسراء آية 59
وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا الأَوَّلُونَ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَا وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ تَخْوِيفًا
The above 4 examples are ENOUGH to prove that the prophet didn't perform miracles. However, you might also want to look at the verses below.
Surah: Cattle
السورة الانعام آية 37
وَقَالُواْ لَوْلاَ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ قُلْ إِنَّ اللّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَن يُنَزِّلٍ آيَةً وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Surah: Furqan
الفرقان
? وَقَالُوا مَالِ هَذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيرًا ?7? أَوْ يُلْقَى إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ الظَّالِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا ?8? انظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا ?9? تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي إِن شَاء جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَلِكَ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًا ?10? بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا ?11?
Surah: Isra.
الاسراء
وَقَالُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ يَنبُوعًا ?90? أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الأَنْهَارَ خِلالَهَا تَفْجِيرًا ?91? أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاء كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللّهِ وَالْمَلآئِكَةِ قَبِيلاً ?92? أَوْ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِّن زُخْرُفٍ أَوْ تَرْقَى فِي السَّمَاء وَلَن نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّى تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابًا نَّقْرَؤُهُ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي هَلْ كُنتُ إَلاَّ بَشَرًا رَّسُولاً ?93?
Clearly, they (the disbelievers) kept whining about the lack of (physical) signs of Muhammed's prophethood.
Interesting. So there's basicly no chance that I will become a believer even though I very much would like to be persuaded to worship this creation who basicly created me for the fire. Cause of course I wouldn't like my skin destroyed in agony, only to have it put back on and repeat that rehearsal again and again. I wouldn't like to grind my teeth forever and ever... I would like very much to become a believre if there were such a creature who would do this to me or to anyone for that matter.
- so he wasted peoples life by doing an experiment?
I'll discuss these with Hassan in the Exclusive Rooms, if he accepts. I never said that God was "experimenting"... He just established the evidence against humanity: people who want to disbelieve will do so regardless of miracles.
so the god learned from his mistakes? - that's great - a being which can learn from it's mistakes is admirable. Or did he just set up millions of people for a little show for all people who were going to live after ... erhhm let's say ... a fellow from Arabia got the final news. And people who did not hear about this Arab fellow's message should keep on believing in magic and miracles until they properly recieved this message. Alright, sounds fair to me.
You misunerstood what I wrote and ignored the fact that I said only pride-based disbelief is punished with eternal damnation... In fact, Satan is a believer in God, his only sin is pride... he insisted on disobeying God out of shear pride but he never disbelieved in Him.
