our reply:

this is not a mistranslation. "life of prophets in their graves" in english does not convey the meaning intended in arabic.
hayatu'l anbiya - literally 'lives of prophets' - fee quburihim - "in their graves" sounds vague in english and it may also mean "hayat barzakhiyyah" as the wahabis and others contend. it also sounds inconclusive 'life in their graves' - yes or no?

therefore, the title is translated to convey the intended meaning. besides, it is a direct translation of the hadith wording: "al anbiya aHyaa'un fi quburihim"

as an aside, the bane of muslims in the past century is unhinged literalist translations.
nas'alu Allah al-aafiyah.
