DescriptionThis manuscript offers a meticulous documentation of the Prophetic diurnal cycle, chronicling the Prophet Muhammad’s actions from waking until sleep. It functions as a normative manual for imitatio prophetica, providing a structured blueprint for believers to emulate his daily praxis in both sacred and mundane contexts. The text records his morning supplications, methods of personal hygiene, eating and drinking habits, dress, interactions with family and companions, night prayers, and bedtime rituals. Each action is presented as a model worthy of conscious imitation. For researchers, this work represents a distinctive genre of prophetic biography (sīrah) organized temporally rather than chronologically or thematically. It reveals how the Prophet’s every action was elevated to a normative status, transforming the mundane rhythms of daily life into moments of spiritual significance and legal consideration.
