biography (vols. I and II of Sachau's edition), Ibrahim b. Sad b. Abu Waqqas is not referred to, and that the recension of Harun b. AbuIsa is
indirect (it is traced through Ruwaym b. Yazid; cf. Haq's translation I, 1,
pp. 44 and 52, II, 1, p. 1). Direct quotations of Ibn Ishaq by his narrators as
given in n. 7, above, are:

[12] In the sections of Ta'rikh relating Muhammad's biography, Tabari
only appears to use the Ibn Ishaq recension of Ali b. Mujahid directly (History, vol. 6, p. 159), whom he also quotes indirectly (History, vol. 6, pp. 66, 82). Other narrations are indirect: History 4) Yunus b. Bukayr vol. 6, p. 82. 7) Yahya b. Said vol. 6, p. 134.

Ibn Ishaq recension of Yunus b. Bukayr; see New Light, p. 5.
