The Shafi’i historian Ibn Kathir, in the events of the year 1293–1294, tells of the affair of ‘Assaf al-Nasrani (the Christian), who was reported by witnesses to have cursed the Prophet. Ibn Taymiyah and a companion, al-Faraqi, apparently implicated in the affair for encouraging the assault and battery to which ‘Assaf and his Bendoin protector were victims, were flogged and placed under house arrest. This was the episode behind Ibn Taymiyah’s work
Kitab al-scrim al-maslul ‘ala shatim al-rasul (The Sharp Sword Drawn Against the Reviler of the Messenger [of God])
