Miscellaneous oddities: One Islamic hadith (oral tradition) reported by Abu Ishaq-Ash-Shaibani says that Mohammed revealed that Gabriel has 600 wings. The prophet Daniel, Zechariah the priest, and the virgin Mary saw Gabriel and never reported this very unusual attribute. Another preposterous report from Mohammed is this: When Mohammed was transported to heaven, he said: I saw there an angel, the most gigantic of all created beings. It had 70,000 heads, each had 70,000 faces, each face had 70,000 mouths, each mouth had 70,000 tongues, and each tongue spoke 70,000 languages; all were employed in singing Gods praises. (Source: Brewers Dictionary) If true, this angel would have about 5 billion faces and 343 trillion mouths, 24 quintillion tongues, and 1.6 hexillion languages! My question: How did Mohammed (an illiterate man) manage to count these things quickly and accurately?
