Is it true that prophet Muhammed attempted suicide?

The biography of prophet Muhammed (Sirat Ibn Hisham) tells that prophet Muhammed used to have a relative who was a Christian priest. The biography tells that after the death of that priest, prophet Muhammed could not have any more REVEALATIONS and hence he attempted suicide several times.

Any comments about that story?

Update:

This is from (Sirat Ibn Hisham) - the ORIGINAL Arabic version

    I'm so sorry if you are a Muslim! You should know that his family followed Prophet Ebrahim's religion. in fact his family didn't follow Christianity. There are many books which have a large amount of lies. Just for changing Islamic history.

    The Prophet used to know of a Christian priest by name of Waraqa bin Nawfal. He said that the Muhammed was the next Prophet, and if he lived long enough he would join his cause.

    After the original revelation, there was a period in which the Prophet (S) did not receive revelation. It was in this period that Waraqa passed away. The Prophet (S) was worried, but never contemplated suicide. It was the strength of Khadija (Ra) that allowed him to persevere. It was indeed a strenuous period of time, where the Arabs continually taunted him. But suicide is an exaggeration. The next bit of revelation was this:

    "By the Glorious Morning Light, And by the Night when it is still, Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased." [93:1-3]

    Suicide is a sin. If God was not displeased, then he did nothing wrong.

    These are well respected books but many of the incidents are not well studied . There are many contradiction in there finding as well . There can be a possibility but when both of these died he was already declared prophet and it would be greatest sin to commit suicide . His prophet hood would have been taken back . So we can safely said that such an event was not poss able.
