Paperback. Condición: New. Volume VIII of al-Tabari's great 40-volume history of the Arabs covers the history of the Muslim community and the biography of Muh'ammad in the middle Medinan years. During this period, Meccan resistance to Islam collapsed, Muh'ammad returned triumphantly to his native city, and the Muslim community weathered controversy in Muhammad's private life.This volume covers the history of the Muslim community and the biography of Mu?ammad in the middle Medinan years. It begins with the unsuccessful last Meccan attack on Medina, known as the battle of the Trench.Events following this battle show the gradual collapse of Meccan resistance to Islam. The next year, when Mu?ammad set out on pilgrimage to Mecca, the Meccans at first blocked the road, but eventually a ten-year truce was negotiated at al-?udaybiyah, with Mu?ammad agreeing to postpone his pilgrimage until the following year. The Treaty of al-?udaybiyah was followed by a series of Muslim expeditions, climaxing in the important conquest of Khaybar. In the following year Mu?ammad made the so-called Pilgrimage of Fulfillment unopposed.Al-?abari's account emphasizes Islam's expanding geographical horizon during this period. Soon after the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyah, Mu?ammad is said to have sent letters to six foreign rulers inviting them to become Muslims. Another example of this expanding horizon was the unsuccessful expedition to Mu'tah in Jordan.Shortly afterward the Treaty of al-?udaybiyah broke down, and Mu?ammad marched on Mecca. The Meccans capitulated, and Mu?ammad entered the city on his own terms. He treated the city leniently, and most of the Meccan oligarchy swore allegiance to him as Muslims.Two events in the personal life of Mu?ammad during this period caused controversy in the community. Mu?ammad fell in love with and married Zaynab bint. Ja?sh, the divorced wife of his adopted son Zayd. Because of Mu?ammad's scruples, the marriage took place only after a Qur'anic revelation permitting believers to marry the divorced wives of their adopted sons. In the Affair of the Lie, accusations against Mu?ammad's young wife ?A?ishah were exploited by various factions in the community and in Mu?ammad's household. In the end, a Qur'anic revelation proclaimed ?A?ishah's innocence and the culpability of the rumormongers.This volume of al-?abari's History records the collapse of Meccan resistance to Islam, the triumphant return of Mu?ammad to his native city, the conversion to Islam of the Meccan oligarchy, and the community's successful weathering of a number of potentially embarrassing events in Mu?ammad's private life.

Paperback. Condición: New. This section of the History of al-?abari covers the caliphate of Mu?ammad al-Amin, who succeeded his father, Harun al-Rashid on March 24, 809, and was killed on September 25, 813.The focus of this section is a single event, the civil war between al-Amin and his half-brother al-Ma?mun. Before his death, al-Rashid had arranged for the succession in a series of documents signed at Mecca and deposited for safekeeping in the Ka'bah. Al-Amin was to become caliph; al-Ma?mun was to govern Khurasan with virtual autonomy from Baghdad. Al-Amin could neither remove his brother from office nor interfere with his revenues or military support. Furthermore, al-Ma?mun was named as al-Amin's successor, and al-Amin was forbidden to alter the succession. If either brother violated these conditions, he was to forfeit his rights.It soon became apparent that the good will to carry out these arrangements did not exist. Disagreement broke out when al-Amin insisted that many of the forces that had accompanied al-Rashid and al-Ma?mun to Khurasan return to Baghdad. When the majority of army commanders obeyed the new caliph's orders, al-Ma?mun was enraged and countered with measures to secure his position. Angry letters were exchanged, with al-Amin pressing his brother to make concessions that al-Ma?mun regarded as contrary to the succession agreement. By March 811, military conflict was imminent. Al-Amin demanded that certain border districts be returned to the control of Baghdad. When al-Ma?mun refused, al-Amin despatched an expedition to seize the districts.Al-Amin's resort to force ended in disaster. Al-Ma?mun's forces, led by ?ahir ibn al-?usayn and Harthamah ibn A'yan, quickly closed in on Baghdad. In a siege lasting over a year, Baghdad suffered extensive damage from the fighting and from bombardment by siege engines. Gangs of vagrants and paupers, organized by al-Amin into irregular units, fought a kind of urban guerrilla war. But, with Tahir and Harthamah enforcing the siege and with most of al-Amin's associates having switched their loyalties to the winning side, the caliph was forced to sue for terms. These were worked out among representatives of al-Amin, Tahir, and Harthamah. However, when the caliph boarded the boat that was to take him into Harthamah's custody, troops loyal to Tahir assaulted and capsized the boat. Al-Amin fell into the Tigris, was apprehended, and was executed that night on orders from Tahir. Thus ended this phase of the civil war. Al-Ma?mun was now caliph.Al-?abari i's history of these years includes accounts by participants in the event, diplomatic letters betweenal-Amin and al-Ma?mun, Tahir's long letter toal-Ma?mun on the circumstances of al-Amin's death, and a dramatic eyewitness account of al-Amin's last hours. Also noteworthy is a 135-verse poem describing the devastation of Baghdad. The section ends with a series of literary anecdotes on the character of al-Amin.

Hardback. Condición: New. Timeless fables of loyalty and betrayal Like Aesop's Fables, Kalilah and Dimnah is a collection designed not only for moral instruction, but also for the entertainment of readers.
