This rare work is known as the Tabaqat Ibn Sa’d, a famous biography of Imam Muhammad ibn Sa’d ibn Mani ‘al-Hashimi al-Basri (230H). The collection begins with the biography of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then the Sahaba, then Tabi’in, and Ulema
The book of Ibne Sa’ad named “Al-Tabaqat” is a scholastic treasury which consists of eight volumes. The first two volumes are specified for Seera of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The rest of the six volumes consists of the scholastic, political, Military and religious activities of the companions of the Prophets and their disciples which covers the first two Islamic centuries. “Al-Tabaqat” has been considered one of the ancient and very valuable sources of Seera
The first period of biography and the list and description of the first books are also given. The author has authored this magazine under the name of “Naqoosh Rasool Number”. Which has very good biographical material. I pray that Allah Ta’ala accept the religious services of the writer and make them a means of salvation and benefit the people.
