Description :
The Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir by Abu 'Abdullah
Muhammad ibn Sa'd,
may Allah have mercy upon him, 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.
The scope of Ibn Sa'd
, may Allah have mercy upon him, covers the time of the
Rashidun khalifs, the
Umayyads and the 'Abbasids. This sixth volume of the Tabaqat (Volume VI)
deals firstly with the scholars of Makka, Ta'if, Yemen, Yamama and
Bahrayn and then the bulk of the book is devoted to the scholars of
Kufa.
