The Succession to Muhammad (book)

The Succession to Muhammad is a book written by Wilferd Madelung and released by the Cambridge University Press in 1997.

Madelung says on page xi of the book:

"work with the narrative sources, both those that have been available to historians for a long time and others which have been published recently, made it plain that their wholesale rejection as late fiction is unjustified and that with [not without] a judicious use of them a much more reliable and accurate portrait of the period can be drawn than has so far been realized."
