Seven Sleepers was originally a Christian legend, with the earliest mention in Syriac sources. It was mentioned in the Koran ( with no number ) and thus became a part of Muslim theology, with perhaps the widest spread among the Sufis. Multiple Ottoman Yataghans carry inscriptions with their names. After all, the most popular location of the cave was near Ephesus. It is not a surprise that Libyan blade carried it: Ottoman influence was strong there.
I am also not surprised by the poor literacy of the inscriptions: bladesmiths all over the world were manual laborers, not exquisitely educated grammarians.
