[[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":

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?
