Miracles (Latin, miracŭlum)
.Vespasian, the Roman emperor, is said to have cured a blind man and a cripple by his touch during his stay in Alexandria.
Mahomet’s miracles. He took a scroll of the Koran from the horn of a bull; a white dove came from heaven to whisper in his ear a message from God; he opened the earth and found two jars, one of honey and one of milk, as emblems of abundance; he brought the moon from heaven, made it pass through his sleeve, and return to its place in heaven; he went to heaven on his horse Al Borak; was taught the Koran by the angel Gabriel, etc. And yet we are told that he laid no pretensions to miracles.
