This translations raise at least 2 questions:
1. Since this praises Ali, would this mean that the owner was a Shi'ite?
2. Would these 7 sleepers be the 7 Imams hidden by God (according to the "Seveners" branch of Shi'ite Islam)?
Zulfikar I assume is the sword of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that had a nick in the tip.
