Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasār (more commonly known simply as ''Ibn Ishaq'') (704-770 AD) was an Arab Muslim historian from Medina, responsible for a book titled - eponymously to the genre - ''Sirat Rasul Allah'', a collection of hadith that is arranged in chronological order, forming the earliest and most relied upon biography of Muhammad. This, along with the [[Qur'an]] and hadith, are sometimes referred to as the [http://www.cspipublishing.com/ Trilogy of Islam], as all major doctrines are found within these three texts. | |||
Ishaq's work, while not available in its original entirety, has survived substantially through the works of his editors, most notably Ibn Hisham and [[Tabari|Ibn Jarir al-Tabari]]. According to Islamic scholar Fred Donner at the University of Chicago, the material in ibn Hisham's and al-Tabari's recensions are "virtually the same".<ref>Donner, Fred McGraw (1998).
