Ārāʼ al-Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Suʻūd al-Siyābī al-Taṣḥīḥīyah min khilāl Kitābihi al-Sīrah al-Nabawīyah: Dirāsah Taḥlīlīyah Muqāranah - Ḥawsanī, Ṣāliḥ ibn Saʻīd ibn Hilāl; al-Muʼtamar al-Duwalī al-ʻĀshir: al-Sīrah al-Nabawīyah fī al-Turāth al-ʻUmānī (2026) (Kuwālā Lumbūr) (Kuwālā Lumbūr : Markaz Dhākirat ʻUmān, 2026)
The book al-Sīrah al-Nabawīyah: Ruʾyah Taḥlīlīyah wa-Naẓrah Taṣḥīḥīyah by Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Suʿūd al-Siyābī is among the most comprehensive integrated Omani works composed on the Prophetic biography. Beyond this, the author did not confine himself to relating the events of the sīrah as many biographers have done; rather he made numerous corrective observations on aspects that had become well known and were even treated as settled, with the aim of cleansing the biography of what has been attached to it and does not belong to it. This study attempts to gather those views in a single piece of research and to analyse them in comparison with others. Its central problem is: what are the corrective views Shaykh al-Siyābī set out in his book on the Prophetic biography? The research aims to enumerate the views in which he stands alone and to compare them with those of others, following an inductive, analytical and comparative method, in three chapters: an introduction to the Shaykh, an introduction to his book, and his corrective views.
