Wahb narrated his historical stories from Abu-Hurairah in the year 59H, Al-noman bin Basheer bin Sa'ad in 64H, Abdullah bin Abas in 68H, Jabir bin Haram bin Ka'eb in 74H, Abu Othman Al—Nahdi in 95H, and the others. More than 133 deciplines and narrators wrote Wahb's historical stories. The greatest of those were Abed A1-Samad bin Ma'qel bin Monabeh Al-Yemeni in 133H. Where more than 65 stories mentioned by him. Another 28 historical stories were mentioned by Idrees bin Sina. Mohammad bin Isshaq mentioned more than 27 stories in 15H and others. It is clear through Wahab's stories that he was the main source of all his stories. Wahb's style was clear, easy , literary and narrative. He used dialogue in his narrating stories which gave them a literary, scientific and suspense appearance. He took care of the elements of time, distance and the first things and locating Geographical places. He quoted hom the Holly Quran, Al-Hadeeth poetry, to give his narrative stories a kind of faithfulness and he took care in the Israeli stories. Wahab's narrative stories developed a way in the human history. This way was distinguished by the narrative feature. Wahab was considered as the first one who made up a form for the international history.
