Reconstructing the Earliest s?ra Texts: the Hig?ra in the Corpus of ?Urwa b. al-Zubayr
In his famous study “Ueber die Entwickelung des ?ad?th” I. Goldziher?
argued that the Islamic tradition (?ad?? ) could not be used as a historical
source for the time of the Prophet and the Companions, but was only the result
of theological, social and political tendencies of later times in which (as
Goldziher? assumed) these materials originated. This position laid the
ground to a sceptical view which was further developed in Western Islamic
Studies after Goldziher? and which until today is still alive.
