Question:
That it be the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya covers much, as does Siyar A'lam al-Nubala by Imam al-Dhahabi. Regarding the specific Companions, there is al-Isabah, which is restricted to the biographies of the Companions. There is also al-Isabah, which is a work by Ibn 'Abd al-Barr. And there is al-Ghaba fi Taramim al-Sahaba by Ibn al-Athir, which contains the biographies of the Companions. As for general biographies, they are like what I mentioned to you in Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya by Ibn Kathir, or in Siyar A'lam al-Nubala by al-Dhahabi, or others. Yes.
