sup guys need help finding some texts
OP - September 05, 2011, 03:38 PM

where can I find a book called Alfiyyat us-Sîrat in-Nabawiyyah?

Is it available online?

I just want to know if this text was actually written in the book:

Quote
The scribes of Muhammad were 42 in number. `Abdallah Ibn Sarh al-`Amiri was one of them, and he was the first Quraishite among those who wrote in Mecca before he turned away from Islam. He started saying, “I used to direct Muhammad wherever I willed. He would dictate to me 'Most High, All-Wise', and I would write down 'All-Wise' only. Then he would say, 'Yes it is all the same'. On a certain occasion he said, 'Write such and such', but I wrote 'Write' only, and he said, 'Write whatever you like.’” So when this scribe exposed Muhammad, he wrote in the Qur'an, "And who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, or says, 'To me it has been revealed', when naught has been revealed to him." So on the day Muhammad conquered Mecca, he commanded his scribe to be killed. But the scribe fled to `Uthman Ibn `Affan, because `Uthman was his foster brother (his mother suckled `Uthman). `Uthman, therefore, kept him away from Muhammad. After the people calmed down, `Uthman brought the scribe to Muhammad and sought protection for him. Muhammad kept silent for a long time, after which he said yes. When `Uthman had left, Muhammad said “I only kept silent so that you (the people) should kill him.”

Can anyone verify this?

- Muhammad had 42 scribes -- CHECK, it's mentioned
- Ibn Abi Sarh was one of 'em -- CHECK
- He left Islam -- CHECK
- He reverted to Islam -- CHECK

And that's all that it says, it doesn't mention the rest of it, as far as I can tell. Here's where Ibn Abi Sarh is mentioned:

وذكروا ثلاثة قد كتبوا وارتدّ كل منهم و انقلبوا
ابن ابي سرح مع ابن خطلِ واخر مبهم لم يسم لي
ولم يعد منهم الى الدين سوى ابن ابي سرح و باقيهم غوى

"And they mentioned three who had been scribes, who apostatized and left the fold. Ibn abi Sarh and Ibn Khatal, and a third one whose name is not known. None of them reverted to Islam except for Ibn Abi Sarh -- the rest went astray."

حتى خـطرت له بباب المسجد

ردي عليـه صـلاتـه وصيـامــه
لا تـقــتـلــيه بـحـق ديــن محمد

And yes, I know this is from seven months ago, but I'm looking for anything to do to distract myself from the depressing fact that I have school tomorrow.
