Sources of the Prophet’s biography

Translation

The book “Sources of the Prophet’s Biography” by Dhaifullah Al-Zahrani is concerned with a critical analysis of the sources of the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, divided into two main parts: the original sources that include the Holy Qur’an, books of the Prophet’s hadith, specialized biography books, and Shamail books, and complementary sources that deal with the history of Mecca and Medina, books of literature, poetry, biographies, and countries. The book highlights the importance of the close relationship between the Qur’an and the Sunnah in documenting the biography of the Prophet, and is based on a follow-up study across the Islamic centuries. The author concludes by listing references and sources that support the research and demonstrate the comprehensiveness of the approach followed.
