Letters
Letters are highly unlikely as that person Mohammed - so far - has been proven to have been illiterate. No writing, no letters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4904:DF83:7DB2:1550:3DE3:49A8 (talk) 23:54, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Authenticity?
There should be some discussion of authenticity of the relics. This is normal for all relics in every religion. Fig (talk) 20:26, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * @Fig wright Agreed. The supposed sword of David is almost laughably anachronistic, and has more in common with Arabian swords of the early 2nd millennium AD than anything from the early 1st BC Canaan. Rorysparshott (talk) 22:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
