After the Companions came the Tabi'un — the generation who learned Islam directly from those who lived beside the Prophet ﷺ. The Men of Madina II continues Ibn Sa'd's monumental Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir with an abridged translation of Volume V, recording the first seven generations of the Tabi'un of Madinah.
These are the scholars, jurists and worshippers who carried the knowledge of the Companions to the world — the very links through which the Sunnah reached us. Through Ibn Sa'd's early third-century reports, their lives unfold in vivid, often surprising detail: their learning, their devotion, and the character of the city that shaped them.
Beautifully translated and thoroughly edited in this new hardback edition, it's an essential companion to Volume I and a rich resource for students of hadith, history, and the science of narrators.
