Watt says "It is tempting to suppose that Muhammad was already envisaging something of the expansion which took place after his death", and that the rapid march of his troops must have "impressed all those who heard of it".
Watt spune că „este tentant să presupui că Mohammed prevăzuse deja expansiunea ce avea să aibă loc după moartea sa” și că marșul rapid al trupelor sale i-ar fi „impresionat pe toți cei care au auzit de el”.
