I removed:

He is said to have had his sword broken when he defended Ali and Fatimah against Umar and was then sent away to Khalid ibn Walid ^{Peshwar Nights Bukhari 82.817}

=That second reference has nothing to do with the supposed attack of Umar...; as for the first, it has been proven to be a forgery by many scholars. --- http://www.alinaam.org.za/library/dbeliefs/slegend_umar.htm http://www.ansar.org/english/beshawer.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshawar_Nights

Well, the "proof" is questionable considering Michael M.J. Fischer reported on the authors death. Further, it would not even mater if the book was a forgery, i could make the exact same claims with the exact same reference, and it would be just as valid as if the book was not questioned. --Striver 20:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
