Medieval Christians understood Muslim salvation hinged on the shahadah and Muhammad’s intercession

Evidence

The salvation of Muslims by faith alone was known to be a matter of repeating the shahadah, there 1s no God but God and Muhammad His messenger; it was also known that there was an Islamic belief that Muhammad’s people would be saved by his intercession for them at the Last Day. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 885
