Historical Attestation of Muhammad: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|Maronite Chronicler|"In July of the same year the emirs and many Arabs gathered and gave their allegiance to Mu'awiya. Then an order went out that he should be proclaimed king in all the villages and cities of his dominion and that they should make acclamation and invocations to him. '''He also minted gold and silver, but it was not accepted because it had no cross on it'''. Furthermore, Mu'awiya did not wear a crown like other kings in the world. He placed his throne in Damascus and refused to go to the seat of Muhammad [Medina or Mecca]."}}
