Sharh al-Jami' al-saghir [Commentary on the Lesser Compilation].

Beschreibung

Large 8vo (180 x 257 mm). 187 ff. Arabic manuscript on paper. Brown naskh script, with occasional important words and phrases picked out in red, partly written in diagonal marginal text. 19th century leather-backed marbled boards, spine reinforced with a strip of leather. Early manuscript copy of this commentary on al-Shaybani's famous work of Hanafi jurisprudence, authored by 'Umar ibn Mazah (1090-1141 CE), better known as "Al-Sadr the Martyr". The manuscript was copied by Zakariya bin 'Abd Allah on 27 Rabi al-Akhir 770 AH. - A Hanafi fundamentalist, al-Sadr was one of the earliest Hanafi scholars from Khorasan, and dedicated his life to the promotion of the Hanafi school of Muslim law, authoring several titles and commentaries on law and related subjects. He was killed in Samarkand and buried in Bukhara. - The source text which this commentary works to explain and expound upon, the "Al-Jami' al-saghir" (not to be confused with the later important hadith collection of the same name), was a foundational work of the Hanafi school of thought by Muhammad al-Shaybani (749/50-805), a personal disciple of the founder of the school, Abu Hanifa himself. "Al-Jami' al-saghir" formed part of a series of al-Shaybani's works known collectively as "zahir al-riwaya", which were considered authoritative by later Hanafis like al-Bukhari; these are al-Mabsut, al-Jami al-Kabir, al-Jami al-Saghir, al-Siyar al-Kabir, al-Siyar al-Saghir, and al-Ziyadat. - Some exterior wear and soiling; internally light dampstaining, otherwise quite well preserved. - GAL I, 374, no. 10.9.
