I wonder if you understand, Rayaan, that when there are words within brackets in a translation such as

by [the Arabs of] Muḥammad

that the words inside the bracket are not really there or are illegible? They are filled in by the translator.

Further, there is nothing in any of these which is inconsistent with what you insist is a name being a "title" since muhammad means "the praised one." I submit this is similar to the earliest Greco-Roman writers who heard of Christus (or Chrestus) but not anyone named "jesus," until the later second century. The reason is simple. Jesus was a later invention.

Richard Carrier in "On the Historicity of Jesus" gives a compelling explanation of how such an euhemerized myth can serve a group trying to establish a new religion. He, of course, is talking about ole jesus but the same dynamic holds true for your boy.

No one is a prophet. If someone says they are a prophet, they are lying or crazy. It makes no difference how many people believe them. (I make this statement along the lines of "beyond reasonable doubt").

The fact that something supposedly happened a long time ago makes it less likely to be true, not more. I don't know why any accounts from that era are considered magically true.
