The possessions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad are a group of his items and possessions such as weapons, armor and clothing, including those known with unique names. There is doubt about the attribution of these possessions to Muhammad, as many of them were lost during wars and tribulations.
Muhammad had nine swords: 2 through inheritance, 3 as plunder, and some from being given as gifts. Eight of the nine swords of Muhammed are in the Topkapı Palace, Turkey. The 9th one is in Cairo, Egypt.
However, only the "Dhu al-faqar" was proven in the authentic Sunnah of these swords.
Muhammad had a quiver, Al-Kafur ( Arabic: الكافور). This quiver had a strap made from tanned skin. This quiver had also three silver circular rings, a buckle, and an edge made of silver.
Muhammad owned 6 bows.
Muhammad owned five spears:
Muhammad had seven pieces of armor [4]
Muhammad had several helmets:
Muhammad had several shields:
Muhammad owned three long shirts (jubbas in Arabic) which he wore during battle. In one of the narrations from Ahmad, he said that it is allowed to wear silk during war.
Accessory items included:
The 9th-century Emir Ahmad Ibn Tulun mentioned in his book “Mufākahat al-Khullān fī Hawādith Az-Zamān”, in the incidents of the year 19 AH (640 CE) and 900 AH (1500 CE) that some claimed that they had a mug and some crutches of Muhammad and that “it was found that they are not of the possessions of the Prophet Muhammad, but rather they are the fragments of al-Layth ibn Sa'd."
The 15th-century scholar al-Suyuti said, on the authority of Muhammad (his garment):
"This (the possessions) was used by the caliphs to inherit it and put it on their shoulders in processions sitting and riding, and it was on the able-bodied when he was killed and contaminated with blood, and I think it was lost in the temptation of the Tatars, for we belong to Allah (God) and to Him we shall return."
The modern scholar Ahmed Taymour says - after listing the remnants attributed to Muhammad in Istanbul:
"It is no secret that some of these remnants are likely to be true. However, we did not see any of the trustworthy people who mentioned it with proof or denial, for Allah (God), Glory be to Him, who knows about it best, and some of them cannot conceal what the idea or notion that stumbles on of suspicion and disputes it in doubts."
