Note 674 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)
David Shea translation
Ahmed, “most laudable,” is one of the names of Muhammed. According to the Commentators of the Koran and the Traditionists, Muhammed is the name for men: Ahmed that with which the prophet was greeted by the angels; and Mahmud that which the inhabitants of hell gave him. He has a thousand names by means of his attributes.
