Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A listener sent a somewhat lengthy message. He is Mayyub Ahmad Hasan, and he says: I inform you that I have been following this program since 1976 CE, and I have benefited greatly from it. In this message, I ask you two questions:
The first: What is your opinion of Ibn Hisham's biography?
Answer: It is a good and beneficial book, a great and beneficial book. However, among its reports, some are authentic and some are weak. But it is a beneficial book, and it is the abridged version of Ibn Ishaq's biography (may Allah have mercy on him), and it contains many benefits. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
