Usdul Ghabah fi Maarfatis Sahabah - أسد الغابة في معرفة الصحابة

About the Book:

Asad al-Ghabah fi Ma'rifat al-Sahabah is one of the major classical works on the biographies of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was compiled by ‘Izz al-Din Ibn al-Athir al-Jazari (d. 630 AH) and brings together information about the names, lineage, lives, narrations, and important events associated with a very large number of Sahabah.

Details:

This important work is devoted to the biographies and identification of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It contains detailed entries covering the names, lineage, backgrounds, narrations, and important events in the lives of numerous Sahabah and Sahabiyat.

Ibn al-Athir compiled information from several earlier authoritative works on the Companions and brought it together into a comprehensive biographical reference. The entries are primarily arranged alphabetically, making the work useful for researchers, students of Hadith, scholars of Islamic history, and those studying the science of Asma al-Rijal.

This 5-volume Arabic set from Maktaba Rashidiya, Lahore–Quetta is particularly useful for Islamic libraries, Madaris, research institutions, scholars, and students seeking access to a classical source on the lives of the Sahabah.
