As the use of hashish or _hashishah_ (the herb), more completely _hashishata fukara_, i.e. Monk's Wort, a technical term for _hemp_, chewed as a narcotic by fakirs (monks), was not known till A.H. 608 (A.D. 1211), it could not be mentioned in the Koran unless Mohammed were, as Sale observes, "a prophet indeed."
