Where can I find detailed, authentic stories about Prophet Muhammad (saw)?

Assalamu alaikum, I love learning about the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and hearing stories that help me feel closer to him. I'm looking for good resources-books or podcasts-that share detailed moments from his life. I've found some materials, but they tend to be like textbooks covering only the broad events. What I really enjoy are those specific, everyday instances told with accuracy and depth. For example, there's a story about when the Prophet sent Anas on an errand, and Anas got distracted playing with other kids. The Prophet saw him and just smiled, gently reminding him about the task instead of getting upset. I'm after stories like that-full of detail but without heavy commentary from the narrator. I can understand both English and Turkish sources. Also, if there are similar resources about other prophets, that would be amazing. So, in short, I'm looking for materials that are as precise as a textbook but with lots of rich details. Jazakallah khair for any suggestions!

I second the Sealed Nectar. Also, for other prophets, "Stories of the Prophets" by Ibn Kathir is a must, English translation is solid.

Listen to "The Firsts" by Omar Suleiman, it's a podcast about the companions but you get so many glimpses of the Prophet's character. Really heartfelt.

Bro just read Sahih Bukhari and Muslim, the hadith books are full of those intimate stories. Nothing beats the original sources.
