History of the Prophets and Kings
Numerous later Muslim writers on the life of Jesus did transmit stories about the Flight into Egypt. Prominent examples include Abū Isḥāḳ al-Thaʿlabī, whose "ʿArāʾis al-madjālis fī ḳiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ", an account of the lives of the prophets, reports the Flight, followed by a stay in Egypt of twelve years; and al-Ṭabarī's "History of the Prophets and Kings".
