The Kitab al-Ma'arif of Ibn Qutaybah and the account of Imam 'Ali's imprecation for Anas b. Malik
|
عدد القرئآت: 6644 |
|
Towards the end of Ibn Qutaybah's Kitab al-Ma'arif, there is a section on "al-Baras" where he lists notable people who contracted leprosy or leukoderma during their lifetime. The first entry is for Anas b. Malik, the Companion of the Prophet (s), and the author notes an incident showing that the reason for this disease was a curse by Imam 'Ali (a). According to the published Egyptian edition, there is a sentence at the end of the anecdote where Ibn Qutaybah casts doubt on the authenticity of the incident. This sentence cannot be found in a 700 year old manuscript of the book held in the British Library! |

The Sahih of al-Tirmidhi and the hadith, 'I am the city of knowledge and 'Ali is its gate'.
|
عدد القرئآت: 7235 |
The well-known and reliable hadith of the Prophet - "I am the city of knowledge and 'Ali is its gate" is not present in the current editions of the Sahih (alternatively called Jami` or Sunan) of al-Tirmidhi (d. 279 AH). This book is one of the Sihah Sittah or Six Authentic hadith books for the Ahl al-Sunnah. This case study will investigate the allegation that this hadith was included by al-Tirmidhi and used to be in his Sahih till it mysteriously disappeared at some stage in history.
