This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

((Short description|Possessions that were believed to have belonged to Muhammad))
((More citations needed|date=January 2017))
((Muhammad|expanded=related))

The '''possessions of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]]''' are a group of his items and possessions such as weapons, armor and clothing, including those known with unique names. There is doubt about the attribution of these possessions to Muhammad, as many of them were lost during wars and tribulations. 

==Weapons==
=== Swords ===
Muhammad had nine [[sword]]s: 2 through inheritance, 3 as [[booty (loot)|booty]], and some from being given as gifts. Eight of the nine swords of Muhammed are in the [[Topkapı Palace]], Turkey. The 9th one is in Cairo, Egypt.

However, only the "Dhu al-faqar" was proven in the authentic ''[[Sunnah]]'' of these swords.
* Al-’Adb (((lang-ar| العَضب))) is the name of sword meaning “anger” or “sharp.” This sword was sent to Muhammad by one of his companions, [[Saʽd ibn ʽUbadah]], just before the [[Battle of Badr]]. Muhammad also used this sword at the [[Battle of Uhud]] and his followers used it, to note one companion ''Samaak bin Kharsha'' (commonly known as "[[Abu Dujana (Sahabah)|Abu Dujanah]]"), to demonstrate their fealty to him, to show the strength, solidity and durability of Islam and Muslims' elegance in front of the [[Quraysh]]is who opposed him. Currently the sword is in the [[Al-Hussein Mosque]] in [[Cairo]], Egypt.<ref>[http://www.hamariweb.com/articles/article.aspx?id=48302 Swords of Prophet]</ref>
* Al-Ma’thur (((lang-ar| المأثُوُر))), also known as “Ma’thur al-Fijar” is the sword which was owned by Muhammad before he received his first revelations in [[Mecca]]. This sword was given to him due to the will of [[Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib|his father]]. When Muhammad migrated from Mecca to [[Medina]], the sword remained with him until it was transferred to [[Ali ibn Abi Talib]], along with other war equipment. The length of the sword with the handle is 95 cm, the length of the handle is 14 cm, the width at the handle is 4 cm, while the length of the blade is 81 cm, and the length at the tip is 3.5 cm. The handle is make of [[gold]] in the shape of two [[Serpent (symbolism)|serpents]], and is encrusted with [[emeralds]] and [[turquoise]]. Near the handle is an inscription saying: [[Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib]]. This sword is housed in the [[Topkapi Museum]], Istanbul.
* Ar-Rasub (((lang-ar| الرسَّوب))). The sword is preserved in the [[Topkapi Museum|Topkapi museum]], Istanbul. The blade of this sword is 140&nbsp;cm in length. It has gold circles.
* Al-Battar (((lang-ar| البَتَّار)), meaning "cutter") sword was taken by Muhammad as booty from the [[Banu Qaynuqa|Banu Qaynaqa]]. It is called the “sword of the prophets” and is inscribed in Arabic with the names of [[David]], [[Solomon]], [[Moses]], [[Aaron]], [[Joshua]], [[Zechariah (Hebrew prophet)|Zechariah]], [[John the Evangelist|John]], [[Jesus]], and [[Muhammad]]. It also has a drawing of King David cutting off the head of [[Goliath]]. The sword also features a [[Nabataeans|Nabataean]] inscription.<ref>((cite web|last1=Wheeler|first1=Brannon|title=al-Battar|url=http://www.usna.edu/Users/humss/bwheeler/swords/batar.html|website=United States Naval Academy|access-date=3 December 2015))</ref> The length of blade of this sword is 101&nbsp;cm, the sword is made of copper with a black sheath. It is currently in the [[Topkapi Museum]] in [[Istanbul]], along with eight of the nine preserved swords of Muhammad. It is claimed by some to be the sword that Jesus will use when he returns to [[Earth]] to defeat the [[anti-Christ]], [[Dajjal]].<ref>((cite book|last1=Lohlker|first1=Rudiger|title=Jihadism: Online Discourses and Representations|date=2013|publisher=Vienna University Press|page=65|isbn=9783847100683|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EBBDD_qB-68C&dq=albattar+istanbul&pg=PA65|access-date=3 December 2015))</ref>
* Hatf (((lang-ar| الحتف)), meaning "death") is a sword which Muhammad took as booty from the [[Banu Qaynuqa|Banu Qaynaqa]]. It is said that [[King David]] took the sword “al-Battar” from [[Goliath]] as booty when he defeated him, when he was less than 20 years old. [[God]] gave King David the ability to work with [[iron]], to make [[armour]] and [[weapons]] and instruments of war, and using his ability made for himself a sword. It was thus that the Hatf sword came about, resembling the al-Battar but larger than it. He used this sword and it was passed onto the [[tribe of Levi]]tes who kept the weapons of the [[Israelites]] until it passed into the hands of Muhammad. Nowadays this sword is housed in the [[Topkapi Museum|Topkapi museum]]. The blade of this sword is 112&nbsp;cm in length and has a width of 8&nbsp;cm. It is the heaviest of swords and Muhammad gave the sword to Ali bin Abi Talib.
* Qal’i (((lang-ar| القلعى))) sword is known as “Qal’i” or “Qul’ay.” This sword is one of the three swords which Muhammad acquired as booty from the [[Banu Qaynuqa|Banu Qaynaqa]]. . Inscribed in Arabic on its blade above the handle is: “This is the noble sword of the house of Muhammad the prophet, the apostle of God.” The blade of this sword is distinguished from the other swords because of its wave-like design. Now the sword is preserved in the [[Topkapi Museum]], [[Istanbul]]. Its length is 114 cm, the length of its handle is 13 cm, the length of the blade is 91 cm, and the width at the handle is 5.5 cm and the tip is 4.5 cm.
* [[Zulfiqar|Dhu al-Faqar]] (((lang-ar| الفَقَار))) was taken as booty by Muhammad at the [[Battle of Badr]]. The length of the sword with the handle is 104 cm, the length of the handle is 15 cm, the length of the blade is 89 cm, and the width at the handle is 6 cm and at the tip is 4.5 cm.
* Al-Mikhdham (((lang-ar| المِخذَم)), meaning "segments of part of the main body or vertebrae") is now in the [[Topkapi Museum]], [[Istanbul]]. The blade is 97&nbsp;cm in length.
* Al-Qadib (((lang-ar| القَضيب)), meaning "rod, staff") is a thin-bladed sword which was a sword of defense or companionship for the traveller but not used to battle. Written on the side of the sword in silver is the inscription: “''There is no god but Allah (God), Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (God) – Muhammad bin Abdu 'llah bin Abdu 'l-Muttalib''.” There is no indication in any historical source that this sword was used in any battle. It stayed in the house of Muhammad. The length of the sword is 100 cm, the length of the blade is 86 cm, the length of its handle is 14 cm, and its width at the handle is 2.8 cm, and at the shrew is 2.2 cm, and has a scabbard of dyed animal hide.

== Descriptions ==
The 9th-century Emir [[Ahmad ibn Tulun|Ahmad Ibn Tulun]] mentioned in his book “''Mufākahat al-Khullān'' ''fī Hawādith Az-Zamān''”, in the incidents of the year 19 AH (640 CE) and 900 AH (1500 CE) that some claimed that they had a mug and some crutches of Muhammad and that “it was found that they are not of the possessions of the Prophet Muhammad, but rather they are the fragments of [[al-Layth ibn Sa'd]]."

The 15th-century scholar [[al-Suyuti]] said, on the authority of Muhammad (his garment): 
((Quote|text="This (the possessions) was used by the caliphs to inherit it and put it on their shoulders in processions sitting and riding, and it was on the able-bodied when he was killed and contaminated with blood, and I think it was lost in the temptation of the Tatars, for we belong to Allah (God) and to Him we shall return."))

The modern scholar [[Ahmed Taymour]] says - after listing the remnants attributed to Muhammad in [[Istanbul]]:

((Quote|text="It is no secret that some of these remnants are likely to be true. However, we did not see any of the trustworthy people who mentioned it with proof or denial, for Allah (God), Glory be to Him, who knows about it best, and some of them cannot conceal what the idea or notion that stumbles on of suspicion and disputes it in doubts."))
