How reliable is the book "Stories of the Prophets" by Abu Ishaq Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Naysaburi?
The book "Ara'is al-Majalis" by Al-Tha'labi is replete with Isra'iliyyat (Biblical traditions) and unverified reports. Ibn Taymiyyah described it as "a night gatherer who collects whatever he finds, whether sound, weak, or fabricated." Prioritizing the biography of our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is more important than others, due to the more numerous and profound aspects of exemplary conduct it contains, and because what has been reported about him is more extensive than what has been reported about others. The call of the prophets and their methodology are one, and Muslims should rather give attention to the biography of our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
