Prophet Mohammad (p) as prophesied in Zoroasterian Scriptures

In the Persian scriptures of Zoroasterians (or Parsis or Magians/ Majus), which have been around for thousands of years, prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is prophesied:

Epistle of Sasan I, Dasatir

"When the Persians should sink so low in mortality, a man will be born in Arabia whose followers will upset their throne, religion and everything. The mighty stiff-necked ones will be overpowered. The house which was built and in which many idols have been placed will purged of idols and people will say their prayers facing towards it. His followers will capture the towns of the Farsi, Entaus and Balkh, and other big places round about. People will embroil with one another. The wise men of Persia and others will join his followers." (Desature no.14)

Alternative Narration
"When the Persians will do such deeds, a man from among the Arabs will be born whose followers shall overthrow and dissolve the kingdom and religion of the Persians
...Instead of the temple of fire and the house of idols, they will see the House of Abraham without any idols as their Qibla.
...And they (Muslims) will be a mercy to the worlds.
...And their leader (Prophet Muhammad) will be an eloquent man whose words and message will be clear and far-reaching."

The Muslims recognize this very quickly because the Ka'bah, the building which all Muslims face in prayers everyday, was at one time filled with idols and it was part of the mission of Muhammad , peace be upon him, to purge the house of idols till today. It was in the next generation, after the time of the Prophet that the wise men of Persia and others did join his followers.
