			This memory contains three cut mentions of the [[Muhammad\|Prophet]] that were retained in the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''. The first is from Ahmad admonishing the Majd Addin, ''"You twist the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him."''<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_The_Secret_Crusade\|title=''Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusad''.\|author=[[Oliver Bowden\|Bowden, Oliver]]\|date=28 June 2011\|publisher=[[Penguin Books]]\|accessdate=14 Nov 2025\|pages= p. 114}}</ref> The second is when Majd Addin accuses the woman with the full line being ''"She turned her back on the teachings of our Prophet, peace be upon him."''<ref>{{Wiki\|Ibid.}}, pg. 115</ref> The final is Majd Addin's rebuke to the gambler, ''"So you would say to the people it is acceptable to defy the will of our Prophet, peace be upon him? And if we are to ignore this teaching, then what of the others? Where does it end? I say it ends in chaos. And so it cannot be allowed."''<ref>{{Wiki\|Ibid.}}, pg. 116</ref>

	This memory contains three cut mentions of the [[Muhammad\|Prophet]] that were retained in the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''. The first is from Ahmad admonishing the Majd Addin, ''"You twist the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him."''<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_The_Secret_Crusade\|title=''Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusad''.\|author=[[Oliver Bowden\|Bowden, Oliver]]\|date=28 June 2011\|publisher=[[Penguin Books]]\|accessdate=14 Nov 2025\|pages= p. 114}}</ref> The second is when Majd Addin accuses the woman with the full line being ''"She turned her back on the teachings of our Prophet, peace be upon him."''<ref>{{Wiki\|Ibid.}}, pg. 115</ref> The final is Majd Addin's rebuke to the gambler, ''"So you would say to the people it is acceptable to defy the will of our Prophet, peace be upon him?
