Mentions
The Bhavishya Purana, is one of the eighteen major Hindu Puranas. It is traditionally ascribed to the Rishi Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas, although the actual authorship remains unknown and the document is likely the work of many hands. Like the other mahapuranas it is written in Sanskrit. It contains passages that some interpret as references to Muhammad. In the Pratisarga Parva (Part III, Chapter 3, Verses 5-27), a figure named "Mahamada" is described as a leader in a foreign land who teaches a different dharma. And the his followers are also mentioned as musalman. Some scholars suggest this refers to Muhammad. However, critics argue that these verses may be later interpolations and not part of the original text.
