Arabic manuscript on paper, 25 lines to each page, written in black Hijazi script, titles and catchwords written in red ink, with Arabic poems throughout.With different seal impressions and ownership statements.The 3rd volume of Kitab Fi Maghazi, About Abu Bakr's succession of the prophet 'khilafat Abu Bakr' and the main events during it.It is a very important part of the 4 volumes as it covers a very critical period of the history of the Islam, dangers and the challenges facing the new caliphate.-After the death of the prophet, a gathering of the Ansar took place in the Saqifa resulting, after some turbulences, in choosing Abu bakr.-Ridda Wars': just after the death of the Prophet, troubles emerged soon after Abu Bakr's succession, with several Arab tribes launching revolts, threatening the unity and stability of the new community and state. These insurgencies and the caliphate's responses to them are collectively referred to as the Ridda wars. The caliph distributed the available manpower among 11 main corps.26.5 by 18 cm.* Khalid Ibn Walid moved against Tulaiha bin Khuwailad Al-Asdee at Buzakha. Khalid had 6000 men under his disposal while Tulayha had 15000 men. Khalid got a tremendous victory which was decided by individual skills rather than by brilliant maneuvers. Then against Malik bin Nuwaira, at Butawar, with his clan Butah as a large part of Bani Tamim remained moslim. *Ridda in Oman: where the dominant tribe of Azd had revolted under their chief Laqeet bin Malik, known more commonly as 'Dhu'l-Taj'. Abu bakr sent Hudaifa bin Mihsan, later Ikrimah arrived with reinforcements from the Caliph, who defeated Dhul-Taj at a battle at Dibba.* Ridda in Yemen: was the first the province to rebel against the caliphate when the tribe of Ans rose in arms under the leadership of its chief and self-proclaimed prophet Al-Aswad Al-Ansi, the Black One. Fairoz with remaining Yemeni muslims took shelter in the mountains for 6 months until he felt strong and marched to San'a and defeated Qias, who later surrendered with his men and were pardoned by the caliph. *Ridda in Hadhrameut:  the last of the great revolts was that of the powerful tribe of Kindah, which inhabited the region of Najran, Hadhramaut, and eastern Yemen. Ziyad bin Lubaid with the forces of Muhajir and the forces of Ikrimah defeated Ash'ath and laid siege to Nujair.*Ridda in Al-Yamama:  was the biggest and most threatening revolt under Musaylimah, a self-proclaimed prophet, Abu Bakr sent Ikrimah to make contact with Musaylima but not to engage until Khalid joined him. However Ikrimah, before the reinforcements arrived, attacked Musaylima and was defeated. Another commander, Shurahbil stationed with his forces at Yamamah, engaged with Musaylima's forces and was defeated too. Khalid joined the remnants of Shurahbil's corps early in December 632. The combined forces of Muslims, 13000 strong, finally defeated Musaylima's army in the battle of Yamama.-The conquest of the Levant: Abu Bakr, reasoning that it was inevitable that one of these powers (Byzantine and Persian empire) would launch a preemptive strike against the youthful caliphate, decided that it was better to deliver the first blow himself.*Battle of Ajnadayn: it was the first major pitched battle between the Byzantine (Roman) Empire and the army of the Arab Rashidun Caliphate, with a decisive Muslim victory. Battle of Fahl with a great victory for Khalid Ibn Al-Walid.*Battle of Yarmouk: consisted of a series of engagements that lasted for six days in August 636, near the Yarmouk River, with a complete Muslim victory that ended Byzantine rule in Syria, is regarded as one of the most decisive battles in military history. After Ajnadayn the Muslim army conquered Damascus after a long siege, the army continued their march northward and in late 635 AD, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah sent Khalid ibn Walid with his mobile guard to begin the siege of Emesa/Hums. After Yarmouk victory, Umar, the new Caliph, visited Jerusalem and gave its people "al-?Uhda al-?Umariyya, after receiving the keys of the city from the Patriarch Sophronius.In Kitab Fi Maghazi the author reviews in his four volumes the date of the beginning of Islam and parts of the life of the Messenger of God, and the invasions that took place in his days and the days of his first three successors. In all of this, he sought assistance from the works of his predecessors from among the imams of the Prophet’s biography, such as Ibn Ishaq, al-Madani, Musa ibn Uqba and al-Waqdi, but he omitted from these sources the lengthy genealogies, conflicting news and narrations. he kept only what was confirmed by the authentic hadiths narrated from the trusted companions and their relatives.Author: Abu Rabi Sulaiman ibn Musa Al-Kala'i (555/1160-634/1237) Andalusian historian, writer, poet, Hadith scholar and Friday liturgical preacher, and ceremonial court orator in the service of the Almohads in Valencia. He was born in 565 AH/1160 AD, Murcia, and soon his family moved with him to Valencia and settled there. Then he traveled in 587 AH to seek knowledge from scholars in Andalusia, and visited Seville, Granada, Shattah and Malaga, and received Ijazeh from many scholars and sheikhs. When he returned to Valencia, the scholars flock to him from everywhere to learn from him and get an Ijazah in different sciences.He was famed for his eloquence as an orator and belletrist as He was an advanced imam in the science of recitation, He was skilled in the sciences of the Quran and intonation. He wrote several books on the Hadith, fully aware of its methods, controlling the rulings of Al-Isnad. wrote more than 25 works but he was best known for this book. Al-Kala'i was seventy years old when he participated in military campaign against t the huge Spanish army, at Anticha, seven miles from the city of Valencia, he carried the flag until he was killed, on Thursday - 20 Dhu al-Hijjah 634 AH/1237 AD

2.2 Prior to the sale the Buyer should satisfy him/herself as to both the condition and the accuracy of the description of any item in the internet catalogue or on the lot list by personally examining said item thoroughly or by having said item inspected carefully and expertly in order to form his/her own opinion as to the degree of correspondence between the item and its description. The Buyer should, where reasonably necessary or desirable, seek the opinion of an independent expert, and should not rely on the illustrations in printed, online or digital transmitted form. In the event that a description makes reference to certain faults or imperfections, Buyers should note that it is an indication which is not intended to be exhaustive and that there may be other faults not expressly referred to from which no rights can be derived.
2.3 Oriental Art Auctions cannot be held liable for the accuracy of the description published or expressed by any other means with respect to materials such as, for instance, types of wood, fabrics, alloys, earthenware, porcelain, and diamonds, all the above with the exception of precious metals.

In the event that Oriental Art Auctions shall receive several commission bids on a Lot for identical amounts and at auction said commission bids are the highest bids for that Lot, in the above event, the Lot in question shall be knocked down by Oriental Art Auctions to the person whose commission bid (for the relevant amount) was received first.
3.3 Commission bids shall only be executed in the event that Oriental Art Auctions can reasonably be expected to do so and Oriental Art Auctions has discretion at all times to decide not to bring out a commission bid.
3.4 In the event that a Buyer wishes to bid by telephone, said telephone bid must be confirmed in writing no later than one day prior to auction.

The above is not applicable to faults that are in relation to the condition of the item (such as, for instance, normal wear and restoration).
6.2 Oriental Art Auctions may refuse to take back a Lot in the event that its description was retracted in advance of or during a sale and the public has been informed of the correct description by means of oral announcements or the posting of notices in the saleroom.
6.3 The Buyer also forfeits any willingness on the part of Oriental Art Auctions to set aside the sale upon failure to return the item sold at auction in the same condition that it was in at the fall of the hammer, the above at the discretion of Oriental Art Auctions.
