Reconstruction Of A Source Of Ibn Is Q's Life Of The Prophet And Early Qur N Exegesis: A Study Of Early Ibn Abb S Traditions (Islamic History And Thought)

This important work is a source-critical study of a group of traditions (a?adith) found in Ibn Is?aq's Biography (Sira) of the prophet Mu?ammad, widely considered one of the most important early historical texts on the Prophet's life. Through a meticulous isnad-cum-matn analysis, the author reveals that Ibn Is?aq relied on Mu?ammad b. Abi Mu?ammad, a hitherto undocumented source of his. Important new light is also shed on problems with Ibn Hisham's recension of Ibn Is?aq's Sira.
