The Details of the Question
It is said that Hz. Ali's sword called Dhulfiqar came out of water. Is it true?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The Prophet (pbuh) gave this sword to Hz. Ali as a present.
In fact it had been given to the Prophet (pbuh) as a present by the Egyptian King Muqawqis. When Amru bin Adud asked a warrior to fight against him, Hz. Prophet gave this sword to Hz. Ali and allowed him to fight Amru.
The poems written for this sword, which had two bifurcated blades, were called "Dhulfiqarnama". This sword was not designed by Muslims specially; on the contrary, it is a present of non-Muslims.
There is a narration meaning, "There is no hero (youngster) like Ali and there is no sword like Dhulfiqar." (see Tabari, III/17)
