Al-Fusul fi Sirat ar-Rasul

الفصول في سيرة الرسول

By Ibn Kathir 774h (1373 CE) 1 volumes

A focused seerah work by the author of al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah, extracted and reorganized from the seerah sections of his larger historical work. Ibn Kathir applied his hadith expertise to evaluate the chains of narration for each event in the Prophet's life, making this one of the most critically rigorous classical biographies of the Prophet. It covers from pre-Islamic Arabia through the Prophet's death.
