Book Synopsis
Analysing classical Muslim literary representations of Muhammad's body as they emerge in Sunni hadith and sira from the eighth to the eleventh centuries, Michael Muhammad Knight argues that early Muslims' theories and imaginings about Muhammad's body contributed in significant ways to the construction of prophetic masculinity and authority.

Trade Review
A stimulating academic analysis of writings about the way Muhammad's body supposedly blessed others during his lifetime and after his death. . . . [Knight] offers fresh insights into Muslim masculinity, esotericism, and power. This is an erudite, provocative tour de force." —Publishers Weekly
