Hercules? ROTFL it is Heraclius and you need to stick to urdu.

the bogus islamic tradtion tels us the Mariyya al-Qibtiyya if she ever existed was a gift from the so called al-Muqawqas or Cyrus the Melkite patriarch in Alexnadria and she was a slave and she had nothing to do with Hercules for sure or Heraclius for this matter

But wait: if we are to read surat al-tahreem where would I find the name of mariyya al-Qibtiyya and did Muhammad the Arabian warlord and caravan raider ate bad 3asl nahl and there was no such person as mariyya al-qibtiyya that caused this little drama in his little abode? So which one is it ?
