Ash-Shifa of Qadi ‘Iyad
by Translated by Aisha Bewley
It was written by Qadi (judge) ‘Iyad, who lived in Spain in the 12th century, when it was ruled by the Muslims. Qadi ‘Iyad had read it all, and had considered it all, and was intimate with the events that happened in the lifetime of the Prophet. And he puts these events together in a way that makes it digestible. What Qadi ‘Iyad could do was to somehow translate his love of the Prophet into an account that was not limiting, but was reliable.
