This important work is a source-critical study of a group of traditions (äadith) found in Ibn Is¿aq's Biography (Sira) of the prophet Mu¿ammad, widely considered one of the most important early historical texts on the Prophet's life. Through a meticulous isnad-cum-matn analysis, the author reveals that Ibn Is¿aq relied on Mu¿ammad b. Abi Mu¿ammad, a hitherto undocumented source of his. Important new light is also shed on problems with Ibn Hisham's recension of Ibn Is¿aq's Sira.
