Description

The author, Usama bin Zeid, was a companion of Prophet Muhammad during the initial ten years of the Hijri/Islamic calendar, spanning from 622 to 632 AD. The significance of this manuscript stems from various factors: 1. These manuscripts are exceptionally rare, not only due to their scarcity but also because of the scarcity of writers during that period. 2. Usama bin Zeid, the author, holds importance as the son of Zeid, who was regarded as Prophet Muhammad's adopted child. Usama's close association with the Prophet mirrors that of his father, enhancing the manuscript's significance. 3. Additionally, these manuscripts hold sacred significance for the Islamic population, as they are authored by a companion of Prophet Muhammad.
