كتاب الكافي للشيخ الكليني (ت328هـ)‎ مصدرا عن السيرة النبوية

Abstract EN

The book of al-Kafi by al-Kulayni is one of the most important books of hadith.

It has compiled the traditions of Ahl al-Bayt (p), where a chapter titled "The Gates of History", was dedicated for the biography of the infallibles (p.

( The writer's approach was to introduce the infallible with a biography without a chain of authority.

He also introduced a collection of traditions of the infallible attributed to one of them without comment from his side, on the approach of the scholars of Hadith.

Our approach will be re-arrange those traditions in a chronological order.

Al-Kulayni presented a semi-integrated material on the Prophet's biography, focusing on the link between prophecy and Imamate from the beginning of time, the role of Abd al-Muttalib and Abi Talib in sponsoring the Prophet, confirming their faith and their status among the Qurashi community in general.

However, he gives brief accounts on the Prophet's parents, Khadija, the Prophet's offspring, indicating the place and date of his birth, any particulars about him, and the date of his death.

A special focus is placed on the role of Imam Ali (p), his marriage to Fatima, his sons Hasan and Hussein, Imam Ali's role in the bathing, wrapping with shroud, praying on and burying the Prophet.

Some hints were given on a number of battles.
