Tabari in his “Tafsir’[^1] and Ibn Kathir in .‘Al-Badayah wal-Nehayah’[^2] have omitted the word “Wasi” from the Prophet’s hadith on Yaum ud-Dar: فأيكم يؤازرني هذا الأمر وأن يكون أخي و وصيي و خليفتي فيكم In place of that, they have inserted the word و كذا و كذا Muhammad Hasnain Haikal has noted down this hadith in its complete form in the first edition of his book “Haya’t-Muhammad “, page 104. However, in the second edition of the same book printed in 1976, he has fully omitted the hadith. 3.

Ibn Hisham who has extracted his book “Seerah” from Seerah Ibn Ishaaq writes in the preface of his book as such: “I have omitted some of the matters narrated in Seerah Ibn Ishaaq that is not liked or approved by the people!! “ Among the omitted matters was hadith Yaum ud-Dar which was recorded in Seerah Ibn Ishaaq but left out by Ibn Hisham. For this reason, Seerah Ibn Ishaaq has become obsolete and major portions of its manuscripts are missing.
