(IV) MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN THE PARSI SCRIPTURES
1. prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) in Zend Avesta
It is mentioned in Zend-Avesta-Farvardin Yasht chapter 28 verse 129,
Sacred Books of the East, volume 23, Zend Avesta Part II pg. 220:
Whose name will be the Victorious. 'Soeshyant' and whose name will be 'Astvat-ereta'. He will be Soeshyant (The Beneficent one) because he will benefit the whole bodily world. He will be Astvat-ereta (he who makes the people). Bodily creature rise up because as a bodily creature and as a living being he will stand against the destruction of the bodily (being) creatures to withstand the drug of the two footed brood, to withstand the evil done by the faithful (idolaters and the like and the errors of the Mazdaynians).
This Prophecy applies to no other person more perfectly than it does to Muhammad (pbuh):
a) The Prophet was not only victorious at Fatah Makkah but was also merciful when he let go the blood thirsty opponents by saying:
There shall be no reproof against you this day.
b) 'Soeshyant' means the 'praised one' (refer Heisting's Encyclopedia), which translated in Arabic means Muhammad (pbuh).
c) Astvat-ereta is derived from the root word 'Astu' which in Sanskrit as well as in Zend means to praise'. The infinitive 'Sitauidan' in present day Persian means praising. It can also be derived from the Persian root word 'istadan' which would mean 'one who makes a thing rise up'. Therefore Astrat-ereta means the one who praised, which is the exact translation of the Arabic word 'Ahmed' which is another name for Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Prophecy clearly mentions both the names of the Prophet i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) and Ahmed (pbuh).
d) The Prophecy further says that he will benefit the whole bodily world and the Qur'n testifies this in Surah AI-Ambiva chapter 21 verse 107:
We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures. [AI-Qur'n 21:1 07] *

2. Sanctity of Prophet's Companions:
In Zend Avesta Zamyad Yasht chapter 16 verse 95, Sacred Books of the East, Volume 23 Zend Avesta Part II pg. 308:
And there shall his friends come forward, the friends of Astrat-ereta, who are friends: well thinking, well-speaking, well-doing, following the good law and whose tongues have never uttered a word of falsehood.
a) Here too Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name as 'Astratereta'.
b) There is also a mention of the Prophet's friends as companions who will be fighting the evil; pious, holy men having good moral values and always speaking the truth. This is a clear reference to the SAHABAHS. *

3. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Dasatir:
It is mentioned in the Dasatir that, 'The sum and substance of the prophecy is, that when the Zoroastrian people will forsake their religion and will become dissolute, a man will rise in Arabia. He will be a mercy unto the world. They will become masters of Persia, Madain, Tus, Balkh, the sacred places of the Zoroastrians and the neighboring territories. Their Prophet will be an eloquent man telling miraculous things.
This Prophecy relates to no other person but to Muhammad (PBUH). *
