One of the books in this area is, Al Sahih Men Sirat Nabavi, The writer, elaborating on the prophet`s character in different manuscripts, discusses the role of the most recent writers in this area. Discussing the confused principles and criteria used to describe the prophet`s character, the author presents his own framework of principles and referring to both Sunni and Shia accounts , gives his own account of the Prophet`s character which he believes is the most accurate. Discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the book, the present paper examines the writer`s methodology.
