In respond to the post that Ive read in my friends blog,which has discussed about the issue that

arises when he wants to name his own weapon. I do agree with what my friend has argued. In addition,

the Prophet Muhammad SAW also has his swords named. And even his bows have their own name.

This is the information that Ive found in the Internet, with the help of Cg. Hafiz (Stoke):

al-Mathur

al-Mathur, also known as Mathur al-Fijar is the sword which was owned by the prophet Muhammad

before he received his first revelations in Mecca. It was willed to him by his father. The prophet

Muhammad migrated with the sword from Mecca to Medina, and the sword remained with him until it

was transferred, along with other war equipment, to Ali b. Abi Talib.

The blade is 99 cm in length. The handle is of gold in the shape of two serpents, and is encrusted withemeralds and turquoise. Near the handle is a Kufic inscription saying: Abdallah b. Abdal-Muttalib.

Today the sword is housed in the Topkapi Museum, Istanbul. Photograph taken from Muhammad

Hasan Muhammad al-Tihami, Suyuf al-Rasul wa uddah harbi-hi(Cairo: Hijr, 1312/1992).

al-Battar

The al-Battar sword was taken by the prophet Muhammad as booty from the Banu Qaynaqa. It is called

the sword of the prophets and isinscribed in Arabicwith the names of David, Solomon, Moses, Aaron,

Joshua, Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Muhammad. It also has adrawing of King Davidwhen cut off the

head of Goliath to whom this sword had belonged originally. The sword also features an inscription

which has been identified asNabataeanwriting.

The blade of the sword is 101 cm in length. It is preserved in the Topkapi Museum, Istanbul. Some

report that it is this sword that Jesus will use when he returns to Earth to defeat the anti-Christ Dajjal.

Dhu al-Faqar

Dhu al-Faqar is the name of this sword, taken as booty by the prophet Muhammad at the Battle of

Badr. It is reported that the prophet Muhammad gave the sword to Ali b. Abi Talib, and that Ali

returned from the Battle of Uhud covered with blood from his hands to his shoulders, having Dhu al-

Faqar with him. Many sources report that this sword remained with Ali b. Abi Talib and his family, and

that the sword had two points, perhaps represented here by the two lines ingraved on the blade.

Hatf

Hatf is a sword which the prophet Muhammad took as booty from the Banu Qaynaqa. It is said that

King David took his sword al-Battar from Goliath as booty when he defeated him, but he was less

than 20 years old. God gave King David the ability to work with iron, to make armor and weapons and

al-Qadib is a thin-bladed sword which, it was said, resembled a rod. It 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 God, Muhammad the apostle of GodMuhammad b. Abdallah b. Abd

al-Muttalib. There is no indication in any historical source that this sword was used or in any battle. It

stayed in the house of the prophet Muhammad and was only used later by the Fatimid caliphs.

India near China. Other scholars state that the adjective qali refers to tin or white lead which was

mined in different locations. This sword is one of the three swords which the prophet Muhammadacquired as booty from the Banu Qaynaqa. It is also reported that the grandfather of the prophet

Muhammad discovered swords of Qali when he uncovered the Well of Zamzam in Mecca.

in Arabicon its blade above the handle is: This is the noble sword of the house of Muhammad the

The only surviving bow of the Prophet Muhammad, is kept in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, along

with many other holy relics. It is made from bamboo, and dates from around 615 A.D. It is said to have

passed into the Caliphal treasury by the hand of Qatadah ibn al-Numan. The case was commissioned

by the Ottoman Sultan Shah Ahmed I, (ruled 1603-1617) and is inscribed with poetic couplets in

praise of the bow, in Ottoman Turkish

According to the explanations of the biographers (from thebooksacred archery:

The Forty Prophetic Traditions. can be boughthere), it appears that in the books reference is made to

the bows belonging to the Lodestar of Mankind, the Messenger of the Common and the Elect, peace

and blessings of Allah Almighty be upon him, as being six in number:

One of them was called Rawja,

One was called Safra the Yellow this one was supposedly taken from the tribe of the Bani

Qaynuqa

one was called Bayza the White, and it was made of the wood of the fir tree. This one is also

said to have been taken from the tribe of the Bani Qaynuqa.

Another bow was called Sadad the Straight, for the reason that when shot, it never failed to

hit the mark; therefore it was thus named.

Another one of the bows was called Zawra the Crooked; and because its voice was

concealed, it was also named Katum
