Chronicle of Seert preserves an ʿAbbāsid-era
re-imagination of the correspondence between the Prophet Muḥammad and the Christians of the
Arabian Peninsula. These narratives were responses to Muslim efforts to produce
consistent rules for non-Muslims in the caliphate with regard to tax levels and
political rights. They draw on knowledge of the Qurʾān and the Sīra to
assert better rights for Christians that were rooted in alleged historical
precedents.
