Description: Title: Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir Sub Title: Volume VIII (The Women of Madina) Full Description: The Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir by Abu Abdullah Muahammad ibn Sa'd is one of the most important and earliest surviving collections of biographical details of the early Muslims, spanning just over the first two centuries of Islam. It is a rich storehouse of information compiled from all the sources available to Ibn Sa'd, as a result of which, the reader is given a vivid insight into the lives of the early Muslims and how extraordinary they were. This is an abridged translation of Volume Eight, which deals exclusively with the women who met the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, or transmitted form him. Ibn Sa'd (148 AH/764 CE to 230 AH/844 CE) was born in Basra, but moved to Baghdad where he studied under various people, including al-Waqidi. He also visited Kufa and Madina in his quest for knowledge and many authorities have testified to his relialbility. Aisha Abdarrahman at-Turjumana Bewley is one of today's most reliable and prolific translators of classical works from Arabic into English and has worked for over twenty years to make the contents of many classical Arabic works accessible to English-speaking readers. As a Muslim translator, she not only understans Arabic but also the teachings and history of Islam, so is able to represent the works in the correct context.
