Stories of the Prophets - Dar Ibn Kathir

Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir included in his human historical book Al-Hawli: "Beginning and End": the stories of the prophets in full, and collected the verses from the many Surahs and arranged them chronologically in the story of each prophet's life separately, supported the verses with their authentic تفسير, and included the hadiths, آثار, news, and what was reported from the People of the Book, so that the story of the life of a noble prophet would be complete and include the most detailed details of his lineage, birth, upbringing, his mission... until his death. And the author, the scholar Ismail ibn Kathir, despite being of diverse knowledge and fully proficient in the sciences of Sharia and Arabic sciences, his general culture in this encyclopedic book was dominated by his being a historian, تفسير, حديث, and Faqih. These four specializations contributed to his proximity to the fields of legitimate and scientific truths, and in most cases, his distancing from falsehoods and doubts. And this sensitive accuracy does not appear in the main titles or in the broad life steps in the stories of the prophets, but it unfolds in details and specifics, where the text is absent, and the sayings and narrations multiply, without being confined to the world of testimony or the unseen.
