Abstract

This encyclopedic work on Islam comprises English translations of all canonical ḥadīths, complete with their respective chains of transmission (isnāds). By conflating the variant versions of the same ḥadīth, the repetitiveness of its literature has been kept wherever possible to a minimum. The latest methods of isnād analysis, described in the general introduction, have been employed in an attempt to identify the person(s) responsible for each ḥadīth. 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 isnāds listed in Tuḥfat al-ashrāf bi ma‘rifat al-aṭrāf by the Syrian ḥadīth scholar Yusuf born ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān al-Mizzī (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 et cetera were left without the clarifying comments of contemporary and later theologians, historians and ḥadīth experts culled from such works as the Fatḥ al-bārī, a major commentary of Bukhārī’s Ṣaḥīḥ by Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī (d. 852/1448) or the commentary by Yaḥya born Sharaf an-Nawawī (d. 676/1277) of the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim born al-Ḥajjāj. 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 ḥadīth.

Abstract

Les relations entre l'Islam et l'Occident constituent l'un des enjeux cruciaux de notre époque. Or, l'univers musulman demeure pour beaucoup un domaine inconnu et étranger. Riche de 1600 entrées, d'une bibliographie considérable et d'une multitude de renvois et citations notamment de sourates du Coran -, ce dictionnaire est l'outil indispensable à tous ceux qui désirent comprendre l'imaginaire profond de centaines de millions de croyants. La symbolique à proprement parler nombres, couleurs, bestiaire, grandes figures coraniques... - s'y mêle aux questions rituelles, historiques et théologiques. La grande tradition mystique (soufisme) y côtoie une foule de termes qui sont évoqués quotidiennement dans la presse mais dont le sens réel est souvent méconnu : ayatollah, fatwa, chi'isme, voile, chari'a... Véritable encyclopédie pédagogique de l'Islam, cette somme de l'anthropologue Malek Chebel nous livre l'une des clés du temps présent.

Abstract

Philosophy written in Arabic and in the Islamic world represents one of the great traditions of Western philosophy. Inspired by Greek philosophical works and the indigenous ideas of Islamic theology, Arabic philosophers from the ninth century onwards put forward ideas of great philosophical and historical importance. This collection of essays, by some of the leading scholars in Arabic philosophy, provides an introduction to the field by way of chapters devoted to individual thinkers (such as al-Farabi, Avicenna and Averroes) or groups, especially during the 'classical' period from the ninth to the twelfth centuries. It also includes chapters on areas of philosophical inquiry across the tradition, such as ethics and metaphysics. Finally, it includes chapters on later Islamic thought, and on the connections between Arabic philosophy and Greek, Jewish, and Latin philosophy. The volume also includes a useful bibliography and a chronology of the most important Arabic thinkers.
