Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Kisāʾī (Arabic: محمد الكسائي) (ca.
1100 CE) wrote a work on Stories of the Prophets (Qiṣaṣ al-Anbiyā).
[1]: xix Al-Kisāʾī produced a collection of Stories of the Prophets; according to Wheeler M. Thackston, its date "is highly uncertain, although the prevalent opinion is that it must have been written not long before 1200".
[1]: xix It includes exegetic information not found elsewhere[2] and elaborates on earlier exegesis with a fuller narrative and folkloric elements from oral traditions now lost[2] that often parallel those from Christianity.
[3] The work often cites ʿAbd Allāh ibn Salām (d. 663), Kaʿb al-Aḥbār (d. c. 652), and Wahb ibn Munabbih (d. c. 730), who were understood as foundational authorities on pre-Islamic Abrahamic traditions in early Islam.
