Siyar A'lam al-Nubala'

Siyar A'lam al-Nubala' (Arabic: سير أعلام النبلاء) is a book written by al-Dhahabi containing the biographies of different Sahaba, ulema, rulers, ministers, and poets who lived between the time of Muhammad and that of al-Dhahabi, in addition to the seerah of Muhammad himself[1]. Al-Dhahabi divided the book into chapters according to the generations in which the different personalities, most of whom were Muhaddiths, lived[2].
