| Σύνοψη: | The letter to al-ʿAlāʾ b. al-Ḥaḍramī embodies a number of parallels to the covenants and to the Prophet Muḥammad's correspondence with the people of Yemen. This study examines the different versions of the letter that have come down to us from the Musnad of al-Ḥārith b. Abī Usāma and from a recension from al-Ṭabarānī's Al-muʿjam al-kabīr to reconstruct a critical edition. Having translated the critical edition and analysed its contents, the study then concludes that the letter is in all likelihood authentic and that it is, generally speaking, textually accurate. The implication of this is that the letter and the covenants represent mutual attestations of one another and that the religion of Islam was well-established, having attained a great level of maturity in the Prophet's lifetime. |
