I published a review of this book at that time, which I have been considering reviving. The author was presented with a prize of 3000 dollars in the Pakistan embassy in London (I still have the newspaper cutting). When it first appeared in 1983 or 1984 it was awarded the first prize in the Seerat competition of the religious department of the government of Pakistan. Martin Lings' book consists of a collection of the least reliable (and in many cases false and damaging) reports and stories about the Holy Prophet's life. 'Muhammad, his life based on the earliest sources', by Martin Lings Published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd., and the Islamic Texts Society, London 1983.
