Paperback. Condición: New. This volume deals with the aftermath of the decisive battle at al-Qadisiyyah described in the previous volume. First, the conquest of southern Iraq is consolidated; in rapid succession there follow the accounts of the battles at Burs and Babil. Then in 16/637 the Muslim warriors make for the capital al-Mada'in, ancient Ctesiphon, which they conquer after a brief siege. The Persian king seeks refuge in ?ulwan, leaving behind most of his riches, which are catalogued in great detail. In the same year the Muslim army deals the withdrawing Persians another crushing blow at the battle of Jalula'.This volume is important in that it describes how the newly conquered territories are at first administered. As the climate of al-Mada'in is felt to be unwholesome, a new city is planned on the Tigris. This is al-Kufah, which is destined to play an important role as the capital city of the fourth caliph, 'Ali. The planning of al-Kufah is set forth in considerable detail, as is the building of its main features-the citadel and the great congregational mosque.After this interlude there follow accounts of the conquests of a string of towns in northern Mesopotamia, which bring the Muslim fighters near the border with al-Jazirah. That region is conquered in 17/638. The history of its conquest is preceded by an account of the Byzantines' siege of the city of ?im? Also in this year, 'Umar is recorded to have made a journey to Syria, from which he is driven back by a sudden outbreak of the plague, the so-called Plague of 'Amawas.The scene then shifts back to southwestern Iran, where a number of cities are taken one after another. The Persian general al-Hurmuzan is captured and sent to Medina. After this, the conquest of Egypt-said to have taken place in 20/641-is recorded.The volume concludes with a lengthy account of the crucial battle at Nihawand of 21/642. Here the Persians receive a blow that breaks their resistance definitively.This volume abounds in sometimes very amusing anecdotes of man-to-man battles, acts of heroism, and bizarre, at times even miraculous events. The narrative style is fast-moving, and the recurrence of similar motifs in the historical expose lends them authenticity. Many of the stories in this volume may have begun as yarns spun around campfires. It is not difficult to visualize an early Islamic storyteller regaling his audience with accounts that ultimately found their way to the file on conquest history collected by Sayf ibn 'Umar, al-?abari's main authority for this volume.A discounted price is available when purchasing the entire 39-volume History of al-?abari set.

Condición: New. &Uumlber den AutorG.H.A. Juynboll (1935-2010) received his Ph.D. from Leiden University. His legacy is administered by the Juynboll StichtingKlappentextThis encyclopedic work on Islam comprises English.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This encyclopedic work on Islam comprises English translations of all canonical ?adiths, complete with their respective chains of transmission (isnads). By conflating the variant versions of the same ?adith, the repetitiveness of its literature has been kept wherever possible to a minimum. The latest methods of isnad analysis, described in the general introduction, have been employed in an attempt to identify the person(s) responsible for each ?adith.The book is organized in the alphabetical order of those persons. These are the so-called 'common links'. Each of them is listed with the tradition(s) for the wording of which he can be held accountable, or with which he can at least be associated. Within each article, the traditions are referred to in bold figures in the numerical order as they were distilled from the more than 19,000 isnads listed in Tu?fat al-ashraf bi ma?rifat al-a?raf by the Syrian ?adith scholar Yusuf b. ?Abd ar-Ra?man al-Mizzi (d. 742/1341).Medieval commentaries as well as assorted biographical lexicons were drawn upon to illustrate the text of each tradition in all theological, social, legal and other noteworthy aspects discernible in it. Thus no details of eschatology, superstitions, miraculous phenomena, Jahili practices etc. were left without the clarifying comments of contemporary and later theologians, historians and ?adith experts culled from such works as the Fat? al-bari, a major commentary of Bukhari's ?a?i? by Ibn ?ajar al-?Asqalani (d. 852/1448) or the commentary by Ya?ya b. Sharaf an-Nawawi (d. 676/1277) of the ?a?i? of Muslim b. al-?ajjaj.The encyclopedia concludes with an exhaustive index and glossary of names and concepts, which functions at the same time as a concordance. In short, this work presents an indispensable sourcebook of the development of Islam in all its facets during the first three centuries since its foundation as reflected in canonical ?adith.…
