The Prophets — What the Sources Say

For each prophet named in the Qurʾān: the Qurʾān first, then the hadith with their grades, then the later books of tafsīr and history — each kept separate.

Only Sunni sources are used. Every text below is quoted from its source with its reference; hadith grades are the ones the collections give. No story has been written on top of them: a narrative will be added only from statements a named scholar has reviewed.

Honouring the Prophet’s household and all the Companions is part of the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah. This page presents sources; it does not pass judgement on any Companion.

Belief in all of Allah’s prophets and messengers is part of faith. This page presents sources about them; it tells no story of its own and contains no pictures or depictions of any prophet.

Three layers, kept apart. The Qurʾān: only the āyāt our own prophet pages already cite, shown with the page that cites them. The hadith: reports whose text (not their chain of narrators) names the prophet, each with the grade its collection or editor gives — weak reports are shown and labelled, never hidden or promoted. The later works: Ibn Kathīr’s al-Bidāya wa’l-Nihāya and al-Ṭabarī’s Tārīkh (their own sections on each prophet) and Ibn Kathīr’s Tafsīr on the curated āyāt.

The classical authors themselves separate reports taken from the People of the Book (Isrāʾīliyyāt). Where a passage names Kaʿb al-Aḥbār or Wahb ibn Munabbih as its source, it is marked and our rijāl dictionary’s own entry on him is shown. The mark is a fact about the passage, not a verdict on it.
