Narrations narrated by Ibn Ishaq (d. 151 AH) through Muhammad bin Jaafar bin Al-Zubayr

Abstract

In this study, I focused on the narrations narrated by Ibn Ishaq through his sheikh Muhammad bin Jaafar bin Al-Zubayr, whose biography is considered one of the oldest copies that did not reach us in its entirety, but rather reached us through the sayings of his students. It was one of the most famous copies that reached us through Ibn Hisham (d. 218 AH) narrated by Ziyad bin Abdullah Al-Bakai (d. 183 AH). When Ibn Hisham dealt with the biography of Ibn Ishaq, he did not transmit it as it is, but rather abbreviated it after making many modifications to it by deleting, modifying, and changing the phrases. He deleted the news that it is abhorrent to mention and hear, and some of them Al-Bakai did not acknowledge to him. The other part of the biography of Ibn Ishaq reached us scattered in the texts of historical sources through his students. In this study, we will try to clarify the narrations that Ibn Ishaq mentioned through Muhammad bin Jaafar bin Al-Zubayr and reached us through his students and were not mentioned in the biography of Ibn Hisham. Perhaps this is an indication of the narrations that Ibn Hisham when he refined the biography of Ibn Ishaq.
