Where God in Islam appears
Each work is its own account. Where two disagree about a parent or a deed, both readings stand.
What this means
Works this figure is recorded as appearing in. Each is an account, not a chapter of one story: where two of them disagree about a parent or a deed, both readings stand and this site keeps the disagreement. The earliest account below is computed from these works, not stated by any source — a fact about which texts this collection holds and when they were written, not a date for the figure, who has none, and not a floor for the tradition, which is older than anything that survives of it.
