Muhammad Al Muwaylihi

Hadith ISA Ibn Hisham Muhammad Al Muwaylihi Arabic edition

Al Muwailihi's famous book Hadith 'Isa ibn Hisham first appeared in serial form under the title Fatra min az Zaman in Misbah ash Sharq- the newspaper which was owned and edited by his father Ibrahim and published between April 1898 and August 1903. The Narrative of Isa Ibn Hisham or A Period of Time by Muhammad Muwaylihi which was first serialized and then published in book form in 1907 is often one of the texts referred to when it comes to the origins of the Arabic novel because of its narrative quality and (semi)realism when it comes to depicting society, although the demands of serialization gives it an episodic disjointedness.
