ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
IT is a pleasure to acknowledge the debt that lowe to the friends whom
I have consulted in the many and various difficulties which beset a trans-
lator of such a long text as the
Sira
on which there is no commentary
worthy of the name. My thanks are especially due to myoid friend Pro-
fessor A. A.
Affifi
of Alexandria, Professor A. Kh. Kioani of Damascus
Dr. Abdullah al-Tayib of Khartoum, Dr. M. A. Azzam of Cairo, and
Professor A.
K.
S. Lambton of London. Particularly I would thank Dr.
W. Arafat for his self-sacrificing labour in reading the whole of my transla-
tion in manuscript, and for bringing its shortcomings to my notice. If,
with reference to this book of mine, I am ever able to solace myself with
the words
kafa'i-mar'a faljlan an tu'adda ma'tiyibiih,
it will be in great
measure due to his ready help and eagle eye.
Last, but not least, I gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the School
of Oriental and Mrican Studies in meeting the'cost of production. Without
this help it would have been impossible to publish the book. I hope that
in the years to come it will stand as a modest tribute to the School's great
interest in Oriental studies and also help to further co-operation and
friendliness between my country and the Islamic world.
