مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تأليف محمد بن علي بن محمد بن عربي الحاتمي الطائي (ت 638هـ )

Abstract

The biography of Prophet Muhammad has received a great interest since his companions started the initiation of his teaching after his death. His biography was regarded as a part of worship. The jurist would not be regarded as an expert in provisions unless they document and memorize this biography from one generation to another . So they wrote a lot about the prophet (peace be upon him) biography, his virtues, his features and the signs of his prophecy , our Arabian libraries are full with such researches. One of the researches who wrote in this field was Muhammad bin Ali bin Arabi AL-Ta'ae (died in 638 A.H) the title of his manuscript was the Birth of the Prophet peace be upon him. For the value of this manuscript and the fame of the writer we conducted a study and investigation following two methods. The first one we study the manuscript and thebiography of its writer , whereas the second we investigated the manuscript commented and explained its texts comparing it with another original manuscript related with the biography of the Prophet to make the study as perfect as possible.
