The Tarikh al-Khulafa is justly famous in Arabic, and rarely out of print. In the original it comprises the histories of all those who have been named as Khulafa right up to the age in which as-Suyuti himself lived. For this volume, a follow-up to 'The History of the Khalifas Who Took the Right Way', as-Suyuti addresses the Umayyad Caliphs.
