Tarikh al-Rasul wa al-Muluk, known as Tarikh al-Tabari, is a book in Arabic written by Muhammad bin Jarir bin Yazid bin Kathir bin Ghalib al-Tabari, (died 310 AH), an Iranian Muslim historian and researcher in 303 AD. This book starts the history from the time of creation and then narrates the story of the old prophets and kings. In the next part of Tabari's book, he narrates the history of the Sassanid kings, and from there he narrates the life of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. In this book, the events after the beginning of Islamic history (commensurate with the migration to Madinah) are arranged in order of year and it covers up to the year 302 AH. Tabari's history includes two general parts: Pre-Islamic history: The pre-Islamic part is the most famous and the most important part, and the author wrote this part of the book after the end of Tabari's Tafsir (exegesis of the Qur'an). After Islam: In the post-Islam history of this book, the author narrates the events in the form of a chronicle. This section (after Islam) itself consists of three separate sections. It is worth noting that when did Tabari start writing his books?! Some say that he started writing his book in 210 A.H. and some narrations indicate that Tabari wrote the history of the Abbasids in a separate book called al-Qaqeen, and this shows that Tabari wrote his history only He wrote until the end of the Abbasid period. Tabari's history has 16 volumes and is the main reference for the history of Iran until the beginning of the 4th century of Hijri. Also, this book is the main source of many people who after Tabari have devoted themselves to writing the history of Islam. Tabari's history was translated and summarized in Persian by Abu Ali Balami, and because he added other materials and made other changes, his book is considered a relatively new author, and it was called Balami's history or Tabari's chronicle after his name. Tabari also compared the views of different religions in his statement; Like the opinion of Ibn Abbas and the opinion of Jewish scholars, the opinion of Christian scholars, and the opinion of Zoroastrian scholars. Our source is the 5-volume history of Tabari or Balami's history, the third volume.
