[edit] Copyright violation?
It appears that there may be a copy right violation with this page.... http://66.240.115.245/ad101/Muhammad/Chapter60.htm . I have not taken further action because I do not know whether the work in question is in the public domain... Striver can you verify that it is in the public domain? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#If_you_find_a_copyright_infringement --GNU4Eva 15:21, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
The name of the book seems to be "The Millennium Biography of Muhammad"

[edit] Not a fan of the Pickthall Translation
The translation is precise but not as accurate as one would wish it. Unless there are objections I wish to replace it with a better translation which I will post here for approval (two week silence is approval). Angrynight 17:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Better Translation
Well responding to the above comment, I reccomend Mohammad Asad's translation (www.geocities.com/masad04/) because he has the least errors in my opinion. Or Shakir too, (www.quransearch.com). But someone else can do that, I'm not good at these things.
[edit] Wa Sabaha
The claim that Mohammad never told a lie in his life is pure conjecture and strikes me as being too strong. The following is the statement in question "The People responded that they would, since Muhammad had never told a lie in his life." How can we be sure that he never has told a lie, and what is a definition of a lie anyway? I would recommend replacing it as follows: "The People responded that they would, since Muhammad was known to be honest." Honest can be replaced with "extremely honest" or "truthful" or any other term that can indicate that he was a person of high moral standing to satisfy everyone in question. It just strikes me that "never told a lie in his life" would be hard to prove. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.182.56.5 (talk) 21:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
