The Scribes of the Prophet-Muhammad Mustafa al-Azami

The Scribes of the Prophet by Dr. Muhammad Mustafa al-A’zami is an intensive, scholarly investigation into the crucial role played by the Companions who wrote down the Qur’an and the Sunnah during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Al-A’zami meticulously examines the names, duties, and historical context of these scribes, providing irrefutable evidence of the immediate, organized, and written documentation of the Divine Revelation and the Prophetic teachings. This book decisively refutes the notion that the early Islamic tradition relied solely on oral transmission, establishing the authenticity, preservation, and early codification of both the Qur’an and Hadith literature. It is an essential academic text for understanding the historiography of Islam and the integrity of the sacred texts.
