Relics of Muhammad

In 1595, Mehmed III (r. 1595–1603) had it brought to Topkapı Palace, where it was sewn into another standard, alleged to be Umar's[7] and together they were encased in a rosewood box, inlaid with gems including tortoiseshell and mother of pearl.

[7] It became associated with the Ottoman Empire, and was exhibited whenever the Sultan or Grand Vizier appeared before the field army, such as at the 1826 Auspicious Incident and at the outset of Turkey's entrance into World War I.

[7] Tavernier reported that the Lance[clarification needed] was kept outside the Sultan's bedroom in the 17th century,[5] by 1845 White said he saw it resting against a wall near the standard[6] and by 1920 its whereabouts were unknown.

[7] The Holy Mantle, Hırka-i Şerif, or Burda is an item of clothing that was given as a gift by Muhammad to Ka'b ibn Zuhayr, whose children sold it to Muawiyah I, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty.

[5]The Sacred seal, or Mühr-ü Şerif in Turkish, was reported by Tavernier, who said it was kept in a small ebony box in a niche cut in the wall by the foot of a divan in the relic room at Topkapi.

[5] The seal is a rectangular piece of red agate, about 1  cm in length, inscribed with الله / محمد رسول (i.e., Allah "God") in the first line, and Muḥammad rasūl "Muhammad, messenger" in the second).

[8] Known in Ottoman Turkish as the Sakal-ı Şerif, the beard was said to have been removed from Muhammad's face by his favorite barber in the presence of Abu Bakr, Ali and several others.

[12] Regarding the bowl, Ibn Kathir, the Islamic scholar and commentator on the Qur'an, writes in his book Wives of the Prophet Muhammad:[13] It had been related by Abu Hurairah that on one occasion, when Khadijah was still alive, Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Khadijah is just coming with a bowl of soup (or food or drink) for you.

The relic named Moi-e-Muqqadas was first brought to Kashmir by Syed Abdullah Madani, a purported descendant of Muhammad who left Medina (in present-day Saudi Arabia) and settled in the South Indian city of Bijapur in 1635, at a time when the Islamic Mughal Empire was rapidly expanding across India.
