Opis

The manuscript of the Aqw l Qat da has repeatedly attracted particular interest among modern scholars, as it raises questions concerning the early development of the Ib Basran community and the emergence of Islamic jurisprudence in Iraq. It is a unique document because it attests to the existence of a scholarly link between Sunn s and Ib s during the early development of Islamic law. The fact that the legal responsa and traditions of Qat da b. Di ma al-Sad s (60/680-117/735) are part of an Ib collection, in which the traditions of Ib Imam J bir b. Zayd (d. 93/ 711) have been transmitted through Amr b. Harim and Amr b. D n r, proves that the Ib lawyers of the first generations considered Qat da to be a faithful upholder of J bir's doctrine. Given the lack of material available for J bir, instructions must have been given to collect whatever was transmitted through Qat da. Qat da's legal responsa must have corresponded to those of the first Ib authorities, which explains why the collator of the Aqw l Qat da (probably Ab Gh nim al-Khur s n ) included them in an Ib manuscript. The present volume sheds light on the relationship between the Aqw l Qat da and Ib authorities such as al-Rab, Ab Ubayda, and J bir."
