WI: Afonso de Albuquerque holds Prophet Mohammad's corpse for ransom?

I might be dramatically wrong, but Islam seems to me a little bit less idaltoric and more monotheistic, then Christianity.
I mean I did not often hear of prophet's tooth included in the sword or something like that. Contrary to Christianity where you have tons of bones and things like that.
I remember when one famous Egyptian monk died the Bysantine emperor rushed to Egypt to take his underpants, believing them to have magical power or something like that.
In Islam I only heard something like a slipper of Muhammed kept by his wife (or was it a slipper of the deceased favourite wife, my memory fails me here, sorry).

So, the Muslim reaction to the news of obdication of the prophet's corpse might have been something like that: "Oh, too bad... and what?".
I mean, how the theaft of a corpse hurts the universal God?
