About the Book – THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD

Al-Wa¯ qidı¯’s Kita¯ b al-Magha¯ z¯I Muhammad b. eUmar al-Wa¯ qidı¯ was a Muslim scholar, born in Medina in the Second Cen˙tury hijra. Of his several writings the most significant is the Kita¯ b al-Magha¯ z¯ı, one of the earliest standard histories of the life of the Prophet.

Rizwi Faizer brings this key text, translated into English for the first time, to a new, English-speaking audience. It includes an “Introduction,” authored jointly by Rizwi Faizer and Andrew Rippin, and a carefully prepared index.

The book deals with the events of the Prophet’s life from the time of his emigration from Mecca to his death, and is generally considered to be biographical. Bringing together events in the Prophet’s life with appropriate passages of Qur ‘a¯ n in a considered sequence, the author presents an interpretation of Islam that existed in his times. It includes citations from the Qur ‘a¯ n, as well as poetry that appears to have been inspired by activities during his life. This English translation of a seminal text on the life of Muhammad is an invaluable

addition to the existing literature, and will be of great signi˙ficance to students and scholars in the field of Islamic studies, Islamic history, Medieval history and Arabic literature.

THOSE FROM THE QURAYSH AND THE ANSA¯ R WHO WITNESSED BADR

For those who were martyred in battle and those who fought, the Prophet assigned a portion for each in his absence; there were three hundred and thirteen men.

Muhammad b. Abdullah related to me from al-Zuhrı¯ from Urwa, who said: Ibn Abı¯ H˙abı¯ba related to me from Da¯ wud b. al-Husayn from Ikrima; and Muhammad b. Sa¯ l˙ih related to me from A¯ sim b. Umar and Y˙az˙ı¯d b. Ru¯ ma¯ n; [Page 153] and˙Mu¯ sa b. Mu˙ham˙ mad related to me fr˙om his father that the Prophet assigned portions for eight grou˙ps and rewarded them.

Sulayma¯ n b. Bila¯ l related to me from Amr b. Abı¯ Amr from Ikrima from Ibn Abba¯ s, who said: Among the Mawa¯ lı¯, twenty men witnessed Badr. Abdullah b. Ja far related to me saying, I heard Abdullah b. Hasan say, “Only the Quraysh, the Ansa¯ r, their allies and their mawa¯l¯ı witnessed Badr.”˙ ˙

Shuqra¯ n was a slave of the Prophet, and nothing was apportioned to him.

 His conduct was exemplary over the prisoners. All the men assigned to him were prisoners. Not a man among the people achieved more than what he did. It took eight to equal Shuqra¯ n.

 Abd al- Azı¯z b. Muhammad related to me from Ja far b. Muhammad from his father that the Prophet appo˙rtioned a portion to Ja far b. Abı¯ Ta¯ lib˙as his reward. But our companions do not mention it and his name is not in the s˙ources.
