Al-Ayni mentioned that the swords of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, were ten. Seven of them were mentioned in poetic verses: Miḥdham, Ḥatf, Dhū al-Faqār, Aḍb, Rasūb, Qalī, and Battār. The other three are: Ma'thūr, which he inherited from his father and was the first sword he owned; Ṣamṣāmah, the sword of Amr ibn Madī Karib; and al-Qaḍīb, which was the first sword he ever wore. The inquirer was advised to focus on the Prophet's biography, his worship, and the rulings of his , instead of wasting time on matters of little benefit, as the website is dedicated to jurisprudential fatwas and Sharia consultations.
