A NEW Paleo-Arabic Inscription by a COMPANION of Muhammad? | Ahmad Al-Jallad and Hythem Sidky

In this video I chat with Dr. Ahmad Al-Jallad and Dr. Hythem Sidky about a recently discovered Paleo-Arabic Inscription found in Taif, which may be from a companion of Muhammad. They have recently released a paper in which they publish their findings and make some observations about the nature of the inscription, its date, and whether or not it could be authored by a companion of Muhammad. You can find their paper here: “A Paleo-Arabic Inscription of a Companion of Muhammad?” Journal of Near Eastern Studies 83 (2024), 1­–14.
