-[[w:Abu'l-Fida|Abu al-Fida]] (1273 – 1331 AD) was a Muslim geographer and historian, and according to Edward Gibbon's (1723 - 1794 AD) "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.":
+[[w:Abu'l-Fida|Abu al-Fida]] (1273 – 1331 AD) was a Muslim geographer and historian. He relates that Muhammad suffered from a death erection. From Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire":

See likewise Observations de Belon, l. iii. c. 10, fol. 179, recto). '''Al Jannabi''' (Gagmer, tom. iii. p. 487) '''records his own testimony that he surpassed all men in conjugal vigour; and Abulfeda mentions the exclamation of Ali, who washed his body after his death, “O propheta, certe penis tuus cælum versus erectus est”''' (in Vit. Mohammed. p. 140).}}
-In English, [[w:Ali|Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib]], the fourth Rightly-guided [[Caliph]] of [[Islam]] (and also Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin) had exclaimed upon seeing Muhammad's lifeless corpse: "'''O prophet, thy penis is erect unto the sky!'''"

-Unsurprisingly, this is one "[[Islam and Miracles|miracle of Islam]]" that you will not find proudly displayed or posted in the many Islamic da‘wah (preaching) websites or forums.
-Tabari does not mention Muhammad's erection, but does note that [[W:Umar|Umar ibn al-Khattab]], the second  Rightly-guided Caliph of Islam, initially refused to believe Muhammad had died. If what Abu al-Fida relates is true, who could blame Umar for his disbelief when the prophet displayed such strong signs of life?
