Gate of Lud[edit]

One citation, credited to a deceased cleric, based on the English translation of the Arabic Koran.

Hmmmm, tenuous, almost laughable.

No, there is not an "Islamic Tradition" that Christ "will encounter and defeat the Antichrist" in London. Not even tenuous, but laughable.Jimaingram 04:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimaingram (talk • contribs)

The Tradition attributed to Muhammad is found in several authentic canonical works of Hadith, in Sahih Muslim: 'Kitab al-Fitun wa ashratus saa' [The Book of the Turmoil & Portents of the Last Hour]) by Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj Nishapuri. Also in Sunan Abu Dawood: Kitab al-Fitun [Book of Schisms] by Sulayman ibn Ash`ath Azdi Sijistani Abu Dawood, Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal by Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Jami` at-Tirmidhi by Abu `Isa Muhammad ibn `Isa at-Tirmidhi.

I have just added archive links to one external link on Ludgate. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Position is wrong![edit]

Cite: "The gate stood just above a crossing of the Fleet River (this now runs underground)." That is not true! The Gate was where St. Martin's is. Right there, where the plaque is fixed.

Minor alteration[edit]

The text used to say...

'According to legend Ludgate is named after King Lud. The claim by the Norman-Welsh Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae that the gate was named after the ancient British Lud.'

...which seems to be an awkward repetition.

I've altered it to say...

'According to legend, recorded by the Norman-Welsh cleric Geoffrey of Monmouth, Ludgate was named after the ancient British king Lud.' Axad12 (talk) 08:42, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
