Prophetic Biography

Ibn Hisham (d. 218 AH / 833 CE) was a historian and philologist of Basra and Fustat who produced the recension of Ibn Ishaq's biography of Prophet Muhammad. It is the oldest life of the Prophet to survive complete, and the channel through which Ibn Ishaq's lost original reached later writers.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (c. 570–632 CE) was the final prophet and messenger in Islam. Born in Mecca, he received the Qur'an from the age of forty, migrated to Medina in 622, and led the Muslim community there until his death in 11 AH.
