        2 - The Image of Khadīdjah in Early Sunni Historiography: A Study on the Narrations of Ibn Saʿd
        Mojtaba Soltani Ahmadi Sarah Khatami Mostafa Gohari Fakhrabad
        The life of Hazrat Khadijeh in early sources that have been reported with historical differences has led to the formation of false claims about her. One of the sources that contains a detailed biography of Khadīdjah is Al-Ṭabaḳāt al-Kubrā by Muḥammad b. Saʿd Baṣrī (d.23 More
        The life of Hazrat Khadijeh in early sources that have been reported with historical differences has led to the formation of false claims about her. One of the sources that contains a detailed biography of Khadīdjah is Al-Ṭabaḳāt al-Kubrā by Muḥammad b. Saʿd Baṣrī (d.230AH). The present study, by examining the case of Khadijeh's life in this book, explains the differences between the reports of earlier historians and compare with Ibn Sa'd's points of view. The findings of this study indicate that Ibn Saʿd's report on some issues such as Khadīdjah's age and how she got married with The Prophet seems to be correct. In contrary, his narrations about the Prophet's skepticism at the time of the first revelation and the importance of marrying ʿĀyisha are distorted. It seems that Ibn Saʿd tries to ignore some of Khadīdjah's virtues to pave the way for placing ʿĀyisha at the head of the wives of the Holy Prophet Manuscript profile

        Despite its significant political and social importance, the region of Najd in the Arabian Peninsula has received little attention from researchers of early Islamic history and the Prophet's biography (Sira). The focus of traditional narratives has been on the conflicts between the Prophet and the Quraysh, as well as the Prophet and the Jewish tribes. However, Najd, located in eastern Hijaz, was a crucial region where many of the Prophet's military campaigns took place, and some of his missionary activities occurred. This paper aims to investigate the reaction of Najd tribes to the Prophet's call and expansion in Najd, and the outcomes of the Prophet's actions in this region. The findings suggest that the Ghatafani tribes, one of the major tribal groups in Najd, largely resisted the spread of the Prophet's call in Najd until the end of the prophetic period, posing significant security threats to Medina and actively collaborating with the Quraysh and Jewish tribes.
