A Christian theologian and a Muslim historian gave nearly identical accounts of jahiliyyah
Evidence
John of Damascus’ account of the jahiliyyah is almost identical to that of Ibn al-Kalbi, who derived his information from his father, Muhammad b. Al-Said al-Kalbi (d. 763), a contemporary to John of Damascus. Both present jahiliyyah as the Abrahamic tradition which, however, deteriorated into a crude polytheism and litholatry” (Sahas, “Arab Character,” 197-98). — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1525
