In the Farewell Pilgrimage chapter Waqidi gathers the wives' reports: Maymunah following the tent's shade until evening while the Prophet ﷺ's wives dwelt in tents around him, and Aisha recounting the hijab verse's revelation and the sermon at Arafat. The chapter covers the rites of Hajj and Mina's jamarat.

Muhammad

The Prophet of Islam (c. 570–632 CE), through whom Muslims believe the Qur'an was revealed, and the founder of the first Muslim community in Medina. The Encyclopaedia of Islam presents him both as the Messenger of God of Muslim faith, fully human, and as a historical figure, tracing his emigration to Medina in 622, the truce of al-Hudaybiya and the entry into Mecca, and it leaves the year of his birth open. It gives his death as a Monday in 632.
