Sīrah & History

Biographies of the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions, the early generations, and the great scholars of the Islamic tradition — narrated from the classical chronicles (Ibn Hishām, Ibn Saʿd, the histories of al-Ṭabarī and al-Dhahabī) and the major collections of biographical entries (tarājim).

Where a biography draws on ḥadīth material, the chains and grades are noted in passing — but the goal here is the human shape of the tradition, not the muṣṭalaḥ analysis. For that, see Uṣūl al-Ḥadīth.
