Let us first discuss Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Hindu scriptures.

The Hindu scriptures can be broadly divided into 2 categories. The Shrutis and the Smritis.
Shruti means that which is revealed, which is understood, which is heard. The Shruti according to the Hindu scholars is considered to be the word of God and they are divided in to two parts, the Veda and the Upanishads.
The Sanskrit word ‘Veda’ is derived from the word ‘Vid’, which means knowledge par excellence. And there are four types of Vedas. Rig-Veda, Yajur-Veda, Sama-Veda and Atharva-Veda. Though exactly when did these Vedas come into existence is not know. But according to Swami Dayanand Saraswati, who’s the founder of Arya Samaj, he says the Vedas are 1310 million years old. But the majority of the Hindu scholars they say the Vedas are approximately 4000 years old. In which part of the world did it first come is not known. Who was the person to whom it was first given is not known. Inspite of all these ambiguities it is yet considered to be the word of God and it is the most authentic and the most higher scriptures amongst all the Hindu scriptures.
The next in the authority are the Upanishads, derived from the Sanskrit word, ‘Upa’ which means near, ‘Nee’ means down, ‘Shad’ means sit, “sitting down near.” When the pupils and students sat next to the teacher to acquire knowledge, it’s called as Upanishad. Which means knowledge which removes ignorance. There are more than 200 Upanishads, but the Indian culture gives a figure of 108 out of which some are picked up as the principal Upanishads. Some may have picked up tens, some twelve. Sri Radhakrishnan has picked up 18 and written a Book “The Principal Upanishads.”
The next type of scriptures, are the Smritis. Smriti means that which is remembered. It means memory. The Hindu scholar say Smritis are scriptures written by human beings, by Rishis. And they are next after the Shrutis. The Shrutis are higher than the Smritis. They are also called as the Dharm Shastra, because they tell how a life should be lead by an individual, by the community and by the society.
One of the most important Smritis is the Puranas. Purana means ancient. It talks about the stories of deities, about the creation of the universe, about literature. And Maharishi Vyas, has compiled the Puranas into 80 voluminous parts. One of the most important Puranas is called as The Bhavishya Purana. Bhavishya means future. This Puranas speaks about the future.
And It’s mentioned in the Bhavishya Purana, Parva III, Khand 3, Adhyay 3 Shloka 5 to 8,

“A Malechha will come along with his companions from the desert and his name shall be Muhammad (pbuh). And Raja Bhoj will give this Maha Dev Arab a bath in the Panch Garv and will welcome him with honour and address him with reverence and say, ‘O pride of humankind you have created a great force to fight against the evil people’”.

This prophecy of Bhavishya Purana, Parva III, Khand 3, Adhyay 3 Shlokas 5 to 8, it says a Malechha will come. Malechha in Sanskrit means a foreigner. He will come along with his companions talking about the Sahabaas. From a Marusthal. Marusthal in Sanskrit means a sandy tract or a desert. His name shall be Muhammad (pbuh) Raja Bhoj will address this Mahadev Arab ...
