Tales of the Prophets (Qisas Al-Anbiya) (Great Books of the Islamic World)
One of the best-loved versions of the prophetic tales is the Tales of the Prophets offered in this English translation and composed by a certain al-Kisai, the date of which is highly uncertain, although the prevalent opinion is that it must have been written not long before 1200. It was shortly thereafter translated into Persian by Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Dayduzami. --W. Thackston
