Which of the two books, "Dala'il al-Nubuwwah" by Al-Bayhaqi and "Dala'il al-Nubuwwah" by Al-Isfahani, is better, more extensive, and more authentic in its writing?
Al-Bayhaqi's book, "Dala'il al-Nubuwwah" (Signs of Prophethood), is more extensive and superior to Al-Asbahani's book; due to its focus on distinguishing the authentic from the weak, even though it also contains weak narrations. One can benefit from what is authentic in both books, and both have verified printed editions.
