The Wisdom of the Prophet: The Sayings of Muhammad

Description

THE WISDOM OF THE PROPHET contains a rich selection of hadith, or traditional teaching stories, based on the words and deeds of Muhammad, that have brought inspiration and guidance to spiritual seekers for centuries. The passages in this collection - more than two hundred authentic stories and sayings translated by Thomas Cleary - have been chosen for their universal appeal and reveal both Muhammad's profound worldly wisdom and his lofty spiritual vision.

Thomas Cleary holds a PhD in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University and a JD from the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law. He is the translator of over fifty volumes of Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian, and Islamic texts from Sanskrit, Chinese, Japanese, Pali, and Arabic.
