This thread is a continuation of my earlier discussion of Q 38:22-23 which you can read in the link below. In this thread we will explore some possible Christian traditions that may have influenced the story of David and the disputants.

Anybody know of parallels to the story in the Mahabharata of Duryodhana being deceived by the floor looking like water in Maya's palace? Obviously, there's the one in the Quran with Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, but are there any other examples of this trope?

I don't agree with all of this guy's views on Islam, but he's dead right on one thing: Western Christians are hateful towards Muslims in a way that is counterproductive to the Gospel
Woe to Us: The Unbiblical Way the West Is Criticizing Islam
Church, if we don’t change our posture,
we are going to lose an entire generation of Muslims
not because Christ failed,
but because His people misrepresented Him.
So revere Christ as Lord.
Speak…

As mentioned in the post above, there need to be an Islamic folklore database that utilizes the ATU index. If anybody out there is interested in possibly creating such a thing, this is your invitation and inspiration to do so.
