The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya) (Vols 1 to 4)
by Hafiz ibn Kathir
tr. Trevor le Gassick

I have not read this book, but it seems to have been well produced. Some hadith narrations have apparently been dropped from the translation because the editors didn't deem them to be authentic enough. I'm not sure if this expurgation was motivated by salafis.

 

No, Hajjah Naziha Adil is Shaykh Nazim's daughter and wife of Shaykh Hisham Kabbani.

 

Yes bihamdillahi Ta'ala it has been translated and is available in the UK
