Psycho writes: Edward Gibbon (1723 to 1794) wrote a monumental history - "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." This continued beyond the fall of the Western Empire and it ends i n the 14th century. It also contains some fascinating information on Islam. Much of his material comes from a guy called Edward Pococke who was a 17th century Orientalist, who held a professorship of Arabic that had been founded by Archbishop Laud.

While it is normal for a male to have a male organ, even circumised Jesus has one, I don't think as a Jesus-worshipper you should touch this subject.

In any case, it is simply a pious lie. Edward Pococke article says: "Both Edward Gibbon and Thomas Carlyle exposed some "pious" lies in the missionary work by Grotius translated by Pococke, which were omitted from the Arabic text.". And the original text of Abu al-Fida has no such 'scandal' - quoted below.

فلما بويع أبو بكر أقبل الناس على جهاز رسول الله ودفن يوم الثلاثاء وقيل بقي ثلاثة أيام لم يدفن والأول أصح وكان الذي ولي غسله علي والعباس والفضل وقثم ابنا العباس وأسامة بن زيد وشقران مولى رسول الله وحضرهم أوس بن خولي الأنصاري وكان بدريا وكان العباس وأبناه يقلبونه وأسامة وشقران يصبون الماء وعلي يغسله وعليه قميص وهو يقول بأبي أنت وأمي ما أطيبك حيا وميتا ولم يُرَ من رسول الله ما يرى من ميت واختلفوا في غسله في ثيابه أو مجردا فألقى الله عليهم النوم ثم كلمهم مكلم لا يدرى من هو أن غسلوا رسول الله وعليه ثيابه ففعلوا ذلك
