“Bukhari came 200 years later” argument died today.
This supports the Islamic Isnad system even more:
🚨‼️A Monumental Modern Discovery: This inscription is remarkable because it independently attests the title “Dhū al-Janāḥayn” for Jaʿfar ibn Abī Ṭālib, the same title found in Sahih al-Bukhari 3709.
The inscription reflects contemporary usage by a freed slave named Walid who was freed by Jaafars son.
This suggests that this honorific title was genuinely known among early Muslims. It is a small but tangible example of archaeological evidence aligning with and corroborating details preserved in the hadith tradition and it won’t be the last of its kind.
The inscription translates as follows:
“I am al-Walīd, the freedman of ʿAbdullāh ibn Jaʿfar, son of Jaʿfar the Two-Winged. May my Lord forgive me and have mercy on me.”
