Welcome to the forum!
In another forum a Muslim claimed: "Inscribed on the hilt of the Prophet’s sword, ‘Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off; do good to him who does evil to you, and speak the truth although it be against yourself."Is that hilarious or what? Besides being thinly veiled plagarism I haven't been able to find the source of this alleged inscription, though I find no shortage of Muslims that repeat it. https://www.google.com/#q=inscribed+on+the+hilt+of+the+Prophet%E2%80%99s+sword%2C+%E2%80%98Forgive+him+who+wrongs+you%3B+join+him+who+cuts+you+off%3B+do+good+to+him+who+does+evil+to+you%2C+and+speak+the+truth+although+it+be+against+yourself.%E2%80%99I come up empty handed in my hadith searches.What was Muhammad supposed to have done? Shown his sword to those he was vanquishing through imperialistic aggression and conquest, before running them through with it?!!
