In the following epochs, they haven't been paid anymore and become associated with folkloric preachers and have been disregarded by institutional scholars ( ulama). Along with preachers during the Friday prayers, they were the first paid functionaries of Islamic religion. In the Umayyad Caliphate paid story tellers to preach about religion to the people. Sometimes the author incorporated related local folklore or oral traditions, and many of the Qiṣaṣ al-'Anbiyā''s tales echo medieval Christian and Jewish stories. Following the stories of the Prophet Adam and his family come the tales of Idris, Nuh, Shem, Hud, Salih, Ibrahim, Ismail and his mother Hajar, Lut, Ishaq, Yaqub and Esau, Yousuf, Shuaib, Musa and his brother Aaron, Khidr, Joshua, Josephus, Eleazar, Elijah, Samuel, Saul, Dawud, Sulaiman, Yunus, Dhul-Kifl and Dhul-Qarnayn all the way up to and including Yahya and Isa son of Maryam.
The Qiṣaṣ thus usually begins with the creation of the world and its various creatures including angels, and culminating in Adam. Many of these scholars were also authors of commentaries on the Qur'an unlike Qur'an commentaries, however, which follow the order and structure of the Qur'an itself, the Qiṣaṣ told its stories of the prophets in chronological order – which makes them similar to the Jewish and Christian versions of the Bible. Authors of these texts drew on many traditions available to medieval Islamic civilization such as those of Asia, Africa, China, and Europe.
