Qur'an 3:112 describes the murder of prophets (see also https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/45394/17163) :
> They have been put under humiliation [by Allah ] wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because **they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right**. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
> Qur'an 3:112 Also, the Prophet Muhammad is reported as being poisoned by a Jewess in hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 2617 . However, this seems at odds with the following Qur'an verse: > O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. **Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided.** To Allah is your return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.
> Qur'an 5:105 **Question**: Given that prophets were harmed, what does "those who have gone astray will not harm you" mean?
