This concern led to the great wealth of books written in his birth, life, miracles The poets and literary authors like other scholars have participated in recording the Prophet’s biography and immortalization of his moral legacy and virtues, so historical composition and poems appeared which are known in the history of Arabic literature as the Prophet’s eulogies in which the poets praise the Prophet’s manners, miracles and military expeditions.
