Zulfiqar "bifurcated"" (Arabic: ذو الفقار Thū l-Fiqār) is
the sword of the Islamic leader Ali. In Arabic the name is
commonly transliterated as Dhu al-Fiqar, Thulfeqar, Dhulfiqar, Zoulfikar etc.
By some accounts, Muḥammad presented Zulfiqar to a young Ali at the Battle of Uhud. During the battle, Ali struck one of the fiercest
adversaries,
breaking both his helmet and his shield. Seeing this, Muhammad was
reported to have said "There is no hero but Ali and no sword except Dhū l-Fiqār"
