The Hadith of Qirtas, an incident from the final days of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life, holds profound significance in Islamic history. It recounts how the Prophet sought to document his guidance for the Muslim community after his passing but was prevented by Umar ibn al-Khattab and his supporters, who questioned the Prophet’s mental capacity in the process. This book examines the historical context of this pivotal event, meticulously analysing its circumstances and systematically dismantling the numerous defences put forth to absolve Umar of responsibility, using textual evidence and logical reasoning.
As perhaps the most comprehensive analysis of this event in the English language, this book is an invaluable resource for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Hadith of Qirtas and its far-reaching implications.
