The Prophet ﷺ's marriage to Zainab bint Jahsh, a re-examination from a historiographic perspective
Book •
Dr.

Hassan Ashraf's re-examination scrutinizes the chains of transmission and historical narratives surrounding the Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Zainab bint Jahsh, confronting Orientalist and Islamophobic claims.

The paper analyzes sanad (chain) and matn (text) critically, distinguishing weak and spurious reports from authentic narrations.

It situates the episode within its socio-historical context and explains Quranic and prophetic wisdom behind the events.

The work was highlighted by Dr. Omar Suleiman as a rigorous resource published via Yaqeen Institute that debunks misrepresentations.

It is used to clarify misunderstandings and to defend the Prophet's moral integrity through historiographic methodology.
