About the Sīra
Dates
Years are given in the Hijrī calendar (AH) and the Common Era (CE). Before the Hijra the Hijrī year counts backwards (BH). The historians often differ by a year or a month; the common view is shown and the difference is noted on the event.
Sources
Ibn Hishām's al-Sīra al-Nabawiyya, al-Ṭabarī's Tārīkh, Ibn Kathīr's al-Bidāya wa-l-Nihāya, al-Wāqidī's Maghāzī for the campaigns, and the hadith collections for what they record. Each event lists its own sources.
The people
The names under an event link to the same entries as the family tree and the Companions page, so one person can be followed from event to event.
