Just one passage[edit]

Under the section title "Fragments" a passage is quoted: "In January the people of Hims took...On the twenty-sixth of May the Saqilara went..." What's special about this passage. Is this the only surviving passage? Does Robert Hoyland quote no other passage in his book? A rationale must be provided as to why this passage, and this passage only must be quoted in the article.Bless sins (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a fragment, of which the quoted text is the readable portion. Hoyland quotes many other sources but this article is about that particular source, which he titled "Fragment on the Arab Conquests". Str1977 ^(talk) 09:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Death of Muhammed[edit]

Can someone please clear for me why this contradicts the traditional date of the death of Muhammed? The sources never mentions Muhammed being alive. --BelalSaid (talk) 07:18, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's Cook/Crone's interpretation of Muhammad being mentioned. Str1977 ^(talk) 09:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

It would be great to see some details such as the manuscript(s) in which this passage is preserved, the original language, link to editions, etc. Grover cleveland (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
