The Men of Medina - Volume II
Muhammad ibn Sa'd
-translated by Aisha Abdarrahman at-Tarjumana Bewly
411 Pages Paperback A5 ISBN 1 897940 91 2 

A translation of vol. V of Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir,
concentrating on the Tabi’un who lived in Madina itself. Continuation from the Volume I (also available)

This book is particularly interesting because its pages demonstrate the attitude and action of the Companions and the Tabi'un when confronted by that most dangerous of trials - fitna, or civil war. This is extremely important in the modern age, in which fitna is commonplace, for we can learn a great deal from how the early Muslims dealt with it.
