Abstract:
This thesis presents a philological and content analysis of the Arabic
manuscript Kitābu Mawhibatu ḏil Wafā’ Bišarḥ Ḏāt aš-Šifā written by Šayḫ
Ibrāhīm Giše. The manuscript deals with the life and times of Prophet
Muḥammad with comparative analysis of the achievements of other
prophets. Besides, it treats the life and times of the four successors of the
Prophet (Al-Ḫulafā’).
Accordingly, this study describes the philological and content feature of the
manuscript, Kitābu Mawhibatu ḏil Wafā’ Bišarḥ Ḏāt aš-Šifā including
translation and analysis of selected portions of the MS that deal with the
biography of Prophet Muḥammad.
