The men of Madina- volume 11 is the translation of volume 5 of the kitab at-tabaqat al-kabir of ibn sa’d which concentrates on the Tabi’un, the generation after the companions, who lived in Madina itself, may Allah be pleased with all of them all and have mercy on them, the study of madina in this early period assumes great importance since it is well known that the first three generations after the prophet may Allah bless him and grant him peace, are considered to be the best generations of the school of the people of Madina was known to be the soundest of the schools. This was because the people of Madina confined themselves to following in the footsteps of the messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him peace, more than the people of any other region did.
