Ali ibn Mohammad ibn Anbasah and Narrations Attributed to Imam Riḍā (as)

 

Amir Hasan Khorvash¹

 

(Received: January 26, 2024, Accepted: December 03, 2024)

 

Abstract

       Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Anbasah (d. approx. 330-365 AH) authored a book compiling narrations from the household of Abu Talib (as), which served as one of the sources for ‘Uyūn Akhbār al-Riḍā by Ibn Babuwayh Qumi (d. 381 AH). Ibn Anbasah claims to have transmitted unique texts from Imam Riḍā (as) through his ancestors, many of which have not been narrated through other sources. However, challenges arise in the chains of transmission and the texts of his narrations, casting doubt on the attribution of these narrations to Imam Riḍā (as) and even to Ibn Anbasah's direct teachers. Ibn Anbasah was criticized by Ibn al-Ghaẓāiri and Najāshi, but the precise reasoning behind their critiques has not yet been fully explored. This study examines the chains of transmission and the content of Ibn Anbasah's narrations, aiming to clarify their issues and identify the responsible party if these problems are acknowledged. Based on textual and transmission evidence, it appears that Ibn Anbasah himself is likely responsible for most of these issues. Many of his chains of transmission, as well as the names of some of his teachers and narrators, seem to have been fabricated by him.

Keywords: Ali ibn Mohammad ibn Anbasah, Dārim ibn Qubaysah, Ibn al- Ghaẓāiri, ‘Uyūn Akhbār al-Riḍā, Imam Riḍā (as).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reflections on the Phenomenon of the Prohibition of

Hadith Compilation

 

Mohammad Hasan Ahmadi²

 

(Received: October 07, 2024, Accepted: December 18, 2024)

 

Abstract

       The issue of the prohibition of hadith compilation over a century-long period is one of the significant topics discussed in the history of hadith, often addressed under the history of Sunni hadith. The time frame of this period begins with the caliphate of the first and second caliphs and ends with the caliphate of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz. The various justifications for this issue among Sunni scholars, on one hand, and the analyses of Shia researchers, on the other hand—regardless of the outcomes they seek—are subject to serious criticism because they are not based on a logically sound argument. The reformulation of the perspective on the prohibition of compilation is one of the results of this research. Avoiding the neglect of the political nature of this phenomenon as a dominant characteristic, and refraining from generalizing it to all possible issues, are among the most important reforms discussed. The relationship between the transmission and the writing of hadith, the concept of a book in hadith structure, and the distinction between official and unofficial books are considered the key premises of the article. Subsequently, the method of reasoning regarding the prohibition of writing hadith is examined in two forms: reasoning based on the position of narration and reasoning based on the meta-level of the narration reports. Overall, this article aids in reconstructing and reforming the historical concept of the phenomenon of the “prohibition of hadith compilation.”

Keywords: Prohibition of Hadith Compilation, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, the Second Caliph, History of Hadith.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spiritual Components of Civilization with the Approach of “Monotheism in Actions” in the Qur’an with Emphasis

on Surah Sabá

(Received: December 24, 2024, Accepted: January 01, 2025)

 

Abstract

       Given that human societies have been pursuing civilization in the sense of interpersonal behavior between humans and nature in their societies for centuries, but in the course of civilizational development and despite the accumulation of experiences and sciences, they have never been able to achieve it completely and flawlessly, and this indicates the shortcomings and gaps in those accumulations. This research aims to address the above issue with a descriptive-analytical method, relying on the semantics and structural interpretation of the verses and the author-centered hermeneutic approach, and to answer the main question: what are the spiritual components of civilization with respect to Surah Sabá? The results of the research indicate that Islam, with the approach of monotheism in actions with respect to Surah Sabá, completes the secular civilizational component and drivers and also strives to introduce some components. The fact that Islam is ahead of the West in expressing civilizational components is an expression of its position and applicability in the civilizational sphere of society. To the extent that the worldview of the Monotheism in Actions grows in society, considering its effects, society will witness the dynamism and movement of civilization-building.  

Keywords: Surah Sabá, Monotheism in Actions, Components and Factors of Civilization.

 

 

 

 

 

An Analysis of the Relationship between the Teacher and Student of Sheikh Ṣadūq and Sheikh Mofīd

 

Seyed Mohsen Mousavi⁵

Seyedeh Farnaz Ettehad⁶

 

(Received: August 26, 2024, Accepted: December 19, 2024)

 

Abstract

       The differences and intellectual schools of Qom and Baghdad have been significant and controversial issues since the 4th century AH. Sheikh Ṣadūq and Sheikh Mofīd, as two main figures of these two schools, played roles in mutual scientific activities. Numerous disagreements between these two Imami scholars have been reported by experts and researchers. The level of reported disagreements is sometimes minor and sometimes significant and general. Studying the remaining texts of these two Shia scholars raises many questions in the researcher's mind. Among them is why, given Sheikh Mofīd's discipleship under Sheikh Ṣadūq, there is such considerable disagreement and opposition between them. Another point is the literature governing the discussions, which is full of harsh addresses and expressions, sometimes leading to scientific accusations. Indeed, if Sheikh Mofīd was truly a disciple of Sheikh Ṣadūq and the remaining texts were written by him, why is there such conflicting and opposing literature between them? This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, re-examines the meaning of Sheikh Mofīd's discipleship under Sheikh Ṣadūq through the analysis of texts narrated from Sheikh Ṣadūq by Sheikh Mofīd. As a result of the analyses in this article, it is concluded that the issue of Sheikh Mofīd's discipleship under Sheikh Ṣadūq is questionable, and he can be considered one of several narrators who received permission to narrate from Sheikh Ṣadūq.

Keywords: Relationship, Sheikh Ṣadūq, Sheikh Mofīd.

 

 

 

Comparison of Inhibiting Factors of Taqwá in the Qur'an and the Old Testament with Emphasis on Historical Roots

(Received: September 23, 2024, Accepted: November 03, 2024)

 

Abstract

       The concept of taqwá (piety or God-consciousness) has always been a central focus in Abrahamic religions, including Islam and Judaism, and has drawn the attention of religious scholars and thinkers. Maintaining taqwá requires understanding the factors that hinder it, as strengthening it is not possible without identifying these obstacles. The meaning of taqwá has undergone semantic changes over time, evolving from its historical context to its current understanding. In the Qur'an and the Old Testament, differences can be observed in the forms of worship, their execution, warnings, recommendations, and the intensity of confrontation with sins. By examining the dos and don'ts present in these scriptures, strategies for overcoming the obstacles to taqwá can be identified. A study of the historical roots of these inhibiting factors reveals that obstacles to taqwá have existed throughout history among various nations. Addressing these barriers necessitates understanding the elements that disrupt the development of taqwá. Through identifying and removing these obstacles, efforts can be made to preserve and enhance taqwá. The establishment and preservation of taqwá require the removal of its hindrances, as attaining taqwá is only possible through adherence to divine commands and avoidance of prohibitions.

Keywords: Holy Qur'an, Old Testament, Taqwá, Obstacles, Historical Roots.

Analysis of the Synonyms of "Love" in the Historical Development of Qur'anic Exegeses (Akhdān, Walījah, and Ḥannān)

Abstract

       This article employs a descriptive-analytical method with library tools to explore the synonyms of the word "love" in the Qur'an (akhdān, walījah, and ḥannān). Some lexicographers define akhdān as a general term for friend and companion, while others interpret it as a form of friendship driven by selfish desires. The term applies equally to both males and females, referring to a kind of secretive friendship that does not lead to family formation but rather satisfies sexual instincts. Most classical interpreters have supported this meaning. Walījah refers to a friend, companion, and confidant, and is used both in singular and plural forms. It often implies secretive relationships intended for deceit or trickery. Numerous scholars have interpreted this term as baṭānah and some as dakhīlah. Ḥannān is used to denote mercy, affection, and tenderness. Most interpreters associate it with raḥmah (mercy), and some have described it as tenderness and compassion.

Keywords: Holy Qur'an, Historical Development, Akhdān, Walījah, Ḥannān, Love.
