I'm happy to leave this thread open provided the topic can be discussed appropriately.

To do that, Rivkin, you might consider providing a source for your premise.

Ok, I'm sorry if I insulted anyone - probably I just misunderstood something:
"Hadith 4:165 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle died while his (iron) armor was mortgaged to a Jew for thirty Sas of barley."

Sorry if I misunderstood the meaning. Concerning Zulfakar - I always thought Ali got it from Mohammed.

Now I remembered where I've got this idea. The lesson I remember was starting with how different people tried to kill Mohammed, and ended with this one (even trhough I don't remember what was in the middle), so it somehow all connected in my head.

Every so often one will find a bifurcated sword design in inlay or cloth on a banner that represents the sword of Ali. If I can find my picture of one in the MET I will post it.

To the best of my knowledge, Mohammed died of some kind of fever at age 63. Not an unusual occurence at a pre-antibiotic era. At that stage of the game, surviving till 63 was not a mean achievement....
