Although the original manuscript of his predecessor Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq has not survived, Ibn Hishām's edited recension of the text preserved, refined and filtered it-omitting certain anecdotes, clarifying difficult Arabic, and annotating genealogy and place‐names-thus making his version the principal conduit through which the Prophet's life has been transmitted in classical scholarship. His work, \"Al-Sīrah al-Nabawiyyah\", remains one of the most trusted sources on the Prophet's mission, the early Muslim community, and the myriad social, tribal and historical contexts that shaped it.","brand":"Qadeem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749397561618,"sku":"9789366084893","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_66facb12-6142-4cd8-b64f-0c180346ef33.jpg?v=1764082791","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/seerah-ibn-hisham-biography-of-the-prophet-pbuh-9789366084893","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
