One of the earliest surviving biographies of Prophet Muhammad, translated into readable, modern English for the first timeThe Expeditions is one of the oldest biographies of the Prophet Mua ammad to survive into the modern era. Its primary author, MaE mar ibn RA shid (96-153/714-770), was a prominent scholar from Basra in southern Iraq who was revered for his learning in prophetic traditions, Islamic law, and the interpretation of the QurE an. This fascinating foundational seminal work contains stories handed down by MaE mar to his most prominent pupil, E Abd al-RazzA q of Sanaa, relating Mua ammad's early life and prophetic career as well as the adventures and tribulations of his earliest followers during their conquest of the Near East.This new translation, which renders the original text into readable, modern English for the first time, is accompanied by numerous annotations elucidating the cultural, religious, and historical contexts of the events and individuals described within its pages.The Expeditions represents an important testimony to the earliest Muslims' memory of the lives of Mua ammad and his companions, and is an indispensable text for gaining insight into the historical biography of both the Prophet and the rise of the Islamic empire.An English-only edition.
