The Kitab At-Tabaqat Al-Kabir by Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad ibn Sa'd is one of the most important and earliest surviving collections of biographical details of the early Muslims, spanning just over the first two centuries of Islam. It is a rich storehouse of information compiled from all the sources available to Ibn Sa'd, as a result of which, the reader is given a vivid insight into the lives of the early Muslims and how extraordinary they were.
The scope of the work of Ibn Sa'd covers the time of the Rashidun Khalifs, the Umayyads, and the 'Abbasids. This third voulme of the Tabaqat (Volume iii) deals with the companions who were present at the Battle of Badr and with the leaders of the Ansar who participated in the Pledge of 'Aqaba.
Ibn Sa'd (148 AH/764 CE to 230 AH/844 CE) was born in Basra, but moved to Baghdad where he studied under various people, including al-Waqidi. He also visited Kufa and Madina in his quest for knowledge and many authorities have testified to his reliability.
Aisha Abdarrahman At-Turjumana Bewley is one of today's most reliable and prolific translators of classical works from Arabic into English and has worked for over twenty years to make the contents of many classical Arabic works accessible to English-speaking readers. As a Muslim translator, she not only understands Arabic but also the teachings and history of Islam, so is able to represent the work in the correct context.
