Knowledge left Madinah and lit up the world. The Men of Madina III completes Ta-Ha's abridged translation of Ibn Sa'd's Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir with Volume VII — following the Companions, the Tabi'un and the generations after them as they settled and taught in Basra, Baghdad, Khurasan, Syria and Egypt.
Here is the story of how the Prophetic inheritance spread: the scholars who carried hadith to new cities, the students who gathered around them, and the chains of transmission that stretched from the Prophet's ﷺ mosque to the far corners of the Muslim lands. Ibn Sa'd, writing within two centuries of these events, preserves their lives in vivid, little-known detail.
Beautifully translated and thoroughly edited in this new hardback edition, it completes the trilogy alongside Volumes I and II — and belongs on the shelf of every serious student of Islamic history.
