Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah
البداية والنهاية
A monumental history from creation to the author's own time (14th century CE). Ibn Kathir combines Quranic narrative, hadith reports, and historical accounts to produce the most comprehensive Islamic history written in the medieval period. The early volumes on prophetic history and seerah are particularly valued.
