In this book, Motzki goes against this idea and suggests thatthat early Islamic literature can be dated to the end of the first and the beginningof second centuries A.H. Motzki develops this thesis by studyingIbn ‘Abbas’ traditions that have been considered suspect by the Westernresearchers for he lived with the Prophet Muhammad for a limited time.He attempts to reconstruct the source of Ibn ‘Abbas and underlines therole of the narrator (rawi) named Muhammad b. Abi Muhammad. CR - Harald Motzki. Reconstruction of a Source of Ibn Ishaq’s Life of the Prophet and Early Qur’an Exegesis: A Study of Early Ibn ‘Abbas Traditions. New Jersey: Gorgias Press, 2017.
