Sir William Muir, KCSI (27 April 1819 – 11 July 1905) was a Scottish Orientalist and colonial administrator.
Daniel Pipes investigated the origin of the phrase "Satanic Verses", and concluded that despite Salman Rushdie's claim that he had borrowed the phrase from Tabari, the earliest traceable occurrence is in Muir's Life of Mohamet (1858) in a passage discussing "two Satanic verses".
