    Sām pahlavān-i pahlavānān (dāstānʹhā-yi Shāhnāmah - 26): There is a mention of an audiobook titled 'Sām pahlavān-i pahlavānān (dāstānʹhā-yi Shāhnāmah - 26)' in Persian (Fārsī) which is related to the Shāhnāmah, but it appears to be part of a specific series or narration in that language and its full unabridged status is unclear for the general English-speaking audience.

    Shahnameh : the epic of the Persian kings: A translated version by Ahmad Sadri, edited by Melissa Hibbard and Hamid Rahmanian, is listed as an 'eAudiobook' available via OverDrive and Libby from a public library system. This is a strong indicator of an official or commercially available English unabridged version, but its direct availability on the specified commercial retailers (Audible, Google Play, etc.) is not confirmed by the initial search.

    Dāstān´hā-yi Shāhnāmah: A product titled 'Dāstān´hā-yi Shāhnāmah' is described as a narration of 'a few famous stories from Shahnameh' rewritten for youngsters in Persian, indicating it is a selection or summary, not the full epic.

    Audiobook (Link on a library page): One search result mentioned an 'Audiobook' link pointing to Archive.org in the context of a library exhibition about languages, which is not a direct official retailer listed in the criteria and may not be the full, unabridged work.

Summary

An official, unabridged audiobook of Ferdowsi's Shāhnāmah, available directly through major commercial platforms like Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, or Hoopla for general purchase, was not definitively confirmed in the initial searches. However, strong evidence suggests an English version exists as an eAudiobook, 'Shahnameh : the epic of the Persian kings' by Ahmad Sadri, which is available through public library systems like OverDrive and Libby. Alternative audio formats found include a Persian language selection of stories, 'Dāstān´hā-yi Shāhnāmah', aimed at youth, and another Persian language narration related to the work. The existence of the eAudiobook via Libby/OverDrive indicates that a complete, unabridged English translation is likely commercially available, though direct links to the specified paid retailers were not secured. Therefore, the final availability is marked as false based strictly on the failure to find listings on the primary required commercial platforms, while acknowledging the strong presence in library collections.
