>>4290433Abu lulu didn't use a sword though he used a dagger. And it was probably Abu lulu copying Ali if anything. I mean it could also be a coincidence that the blade is double tipped. It was also dipped in poison. Ali and him lived at the same time
There's also a narrative saying Ali rescued him from execution and took him to Kashan. That narrative only appeared from the savafid times
Hell, I mean there's not even any proof the zulfiqar itself had 2 tips. The first reports of that were also only in the safavid era, like Kashan.
A lot of this stuff is just symbolism and imagery made up later on, it's not proof of any conspiracy
