Abī Ṭālib, who is popularly known as Zayn al- ʿĀbidīn, was an eminent tābiʿī and great-grandson of the Prophet ﷺ. He was born a few decades following the Prophet's death, and he met several of the close companions throughout his life in Medīna. ʿAlī was acknowledged by his peers and students alike as a generous, wise and virtuous man from Ahlulbayt, and he was one of the most prominent Hashemites at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe importance of this figure's biography primarily stems from multiple factors: (i) his chronological and lineal proximity to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, (ii) his virtue and status, (iii) and the historical revisionism his legacy has suffered as a result of multiple competing Shīʿite and non-Shīʿite narratives across history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis biography covers historically accurate traditions of ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn from Sunnī sources that are devoid of the lies, exaggerations and inaccuracies of forgers and unreliable transmitters. It aims to distinguish the historical ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn from the numerous ahistorical and theologically-charged redactions of his life. Apart from the biography are several auxiliary studies and analyses pertaining to his ḥadīth transmission. Hopefully, this book can serve as a stepping stone for a serious initiative to familiarize the Muslim community with Ahlulbayt and early Islamic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412147847346,"sku":"9798567410363","price":19.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5ba71b9d44c4456103beb4960f4c5ff1.webp?v=1778315582","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/ali-ibn-al-husayn-a-critical-biography-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
