Abstract
Kalima tul Haqaiq by Burhan ud Din Jaanam is usually considered as the first book of the Urdu prose. There has been much debate over its primacy but the controversy has been very much resolved. Khair ul Bayan by Bazid/ Bayazid Ansari was also considered as the first book in Urdu prose by some eminent scholars such as Dr Gayan Chand Jain and Farigh Bukhari. Khair ul Bayan was penned down around 1572 AD. Dr Jameel Jalibi also wrote about it in his history of literature. This article reviews the statements and the findings about Khair ul Bayan's importance and proves that Khair ul Bayan is not the first book in Urdu prose, as has been declared by Gyan Chand and Farigh Bukhari. This article aslo linguistically reviews a few lines in Urdu which have been written in Khair ul Bayan.
