A Timeless Treasure Rediscovered After 500 Years

Discover the earliest biography of the Beloved Messenger ﷺ with The Maghazi of Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ (Paperback Edition) — a rare work by the esteemed Tabi‘i scholar Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah, lost to the world for nearly five centuries.

Thought to be lost forever, this historic text was rediscovered in the National Library of Tunisia by Dr. Muhammad Tabarani, a remarkable find that has reignited interest in the origins of sīrah and maghazi literature.

An Authentic Source Praised by the Greatest Imams

Imam Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah’s precision and scholarship earned him the praise of the greatest Imams:

“I recommend the Maghazi of the pious man Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah because it is the most accurate of Maghazi works.”
— Imam Malik ibn Anas

“There is none from the Maghazi genre that is more authentic than his book despite its shortness.”
— Imam al-Shafi’i

“Hold tight to (Kitab) al-Maghazi by Ibn ‘Uqbah because he is absolutely trustworthy.”
— Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal

This level of authenticity makes it the most reliable source for understanding the life and expeditions of the Prophet ﷺ.

About The Author 

Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah

Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah ibn Abī ʿAyyāsh al-Asadi al-Miṭraqī (Arabic: موسى بن عقبة بن أبي عياش الأسدي المطرفي; d. 758/759 CE) was one of the earliest and most respected Muslim historians, jurists, and scholars of Sīrah and Maghāzī. A prominent student of Imam az-Zuhri and a teacher of Imam Mālik ibn Anas, Mūsā ibn ʿUqba’s contributions stand among the foundations of early Islamic historiography and scholarship.

Born in Madinah, the city of the Prophet ﷺ, Mūsā ibn ʿUqba was celebrated for his meticulous preservation of authentic traditions and his devotion to truth. He was a freedman (mawlā) of the noble Zubayr family, which granted him close proximity to many early Companions and successors. Renowned for his integrity, deep understanding, and precision in transmitting knowledge, his narrations appear in the Kutub al-Sittah (The Six Canonical Books of Hadith).

His Legacy and Scholarly Contribution

Among his greatest works is the Kitāb al-Maghāzī (Book of the Prophet’s Campaigns)—one of the earliest and most authentic accounts of the Sīrah and battles of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The book was highly praised by leading imams such as Imam Mālik, Imām al-Shāfi‘ī, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Dhahabi, and Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalānī, who considered it a cornerstone of reliable Islamic history.

Long thought lost after the 14th century, a partial manuscript of Mūsā ibn ʿUqba’s Maghāzī was rediscovered in 2021 at the National Library of Tunisia—reviving one of the most precious works of early Islamic scholarship. It was later published in Fez, Morocco, in 2023, with an English translation following in 2024, allowing modern readers to once again benefit from his timeless insights.

A Lasting Influence on Islamic Learning

Mūsā ibn ʿUqba’s work reflects the intellectual purity, spiritual depth, and historical accuracy that define classical Islamic literature. His method of reporting—based on verified narrations and profound respect for the truth—continues to inspire generations of scholars, researchers, and students of Islamic history.
