About The Book

al-Alfiyya fi al-Sira al-Nabawiyya is al-Hafiz al-Iraqi's celebrated versification of the Prophetic biography into one thousand lines of rajaz verse, also circulated under the fuller title Nazm al-Durar al-Saniyya fi al-Siyar al-Zakiyya. The poem follows the canonical sira order — the noble lineage, the early life, the prophetic call, the Meccan and Medinan periods, the campaigns, the closing illness and death — compressing each into terse, memorable couplets.

About The Author

His Alfiyyat al-Iraqi in mustalah al-hadith remains the universal memorisation text in the science.

About the Contributor(s)

About the author

Zayn al-Din al-Iraqi: Al-Hafiz Zayn al-Din Abd al-Rahim b. al-Husayn al-Iraqi rahimahullah (725-806 AH / 1325-1404 CE) was the supreme hadith master of his age, widely recognized as the leading Shafii jurist and hadith scholar of late medieval Egypt. He served as chief judge (qadi) in Madina and subsequently in Egypt, bringing both judicial authority and scholarly distinction to those roles. His most celebrated student was the great hadith master Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, who transmitted much of his teacher's scholarship. Al-Iraqi's most famous prose contribution is his exhaustive source-verification (takhrij) of al-Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al-Din, tracing the chain of transmission for each hadith cited. In hadith sciences, his Alfiyya on mustalah al-hadith became the universal memorization matn, studied across the Islamic world from his era to the present day. Among his poetic works is the Alfiyyat al-Sira al-Nabawiyya, also called Nazm al-Durar al-Saniyya fi al-Sira al-Zakiyya, a thousand-verse rajaz poem traversing the prophetic biography from the noble lineage and early life through the Makkan and Madinan periods, the military expeditions, and the passing of the Prophet ﷺ, presented in dense verses suited to memorization.

About the editor

Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki: Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani (1363-1426 AH / 1944-2004 CE) was among the foremost traditional Sunni scholars of his age, a Hasani sayyid descended from the Prophet through his grandson al-Hasan. He was born in Makka into the renowned al-Maliki family, in which five forebears had served as Maliki imams of the Masjid al-Haram, his grandfather al-Sayyid Abbas having been mufti and khatib of the Sacred Mosque. He memorized the Qurʾan in his youth under his father al-Sayyid Alawi, studied the traditional sciences with leading teachers of the Hijaz, and earned a doctorate from al-Azhar in Egypt while still young, gathering ijazas from scholars across the Muslim world. He taught within the Masjid al-Haram in his father's circle and at Umm al-Qura University, and after being removed from those posts he continued teaching from his home, where evening gatherings drew hundreds of students. Maliki in jurisprudence and Ashʿari in creed, attached to the Shadhili path, he authored close to a hundred works on creed, hadith, Qurʾanic exegesis, sira, and spirituality. His Mafahim Yajib an Tusahhah (rendered "Notions That Must Be Corrected") became a landmark defense of mainstream Sunni belief and devotion to the Prophet. He died in Makka and was buried at Jannat al-Muʿalla; his students carry his teaching across the Islamic world.
