'Questionable and unjustifiable use of Tabri as source for content on this article by wikipedia standards
Substantial quotes in this article are taken from Al Tabri who lived from 838 to 923 AD . The following informations is taken from wikipedia articles regarding Tabri and his works .
History of the Prophets and Kings by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari
The History of the Prophets and Kings (Persian: تاریخ طبری , Arabic: تاريخ الرسل والملوك Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk, popularly known Tarikh al-Tabari) is a historical chronicle written by Persian author and historian Ibn Jarir al-Tabari d. 310H (838-923) from the Creation to AD 915,
[edit] Content
The introduction of this work itself states :
| “ | Let the reader be aware that whatever I mention in my book is relied on the news that were narrated by some men. I had attributed these stories to their narrators, without inferring anything from their incidents ... [1]. | ” |
| “ | If a certain man gets horrified by a certain incident that we reported in our book, then let him know that it did not come from us, but we only wrote down what we received from the narrators [2] | ” |
The main purpose of Tabari was to write history according to the science of narration. That is to say he quotes the narrator without interfering in anway.
Tabari wrote history, theology and Qur'anic commentary. His legal writings were published first and then continued to appear throughout his life. Next were his commentaries on the Qur'an. Lastly, his history was published. Despite a style that makes it seem he drew largely on oral sources, written material (both published and unpublished) provided him with the bulk of his information.
Cosequently the content sourced from Tabri in this article needs to be removed
