His superior rank as a ḥadīth transmitter earned him the title of “commander of the faithful” in ḥadīth among many later critics. He also contributed to Islamic law at its early phases of development, was a practitioner of jihād, composed poetry, and participated in various theological discussions. In addition, Ibn al-Mubārak was a pioneer in writing on piety and he was later regarded by many mystics to be one of the earliest figures of Sufism. Ibn al-Mubārak’s position during the formative period of Islamic thought illustrates the unique history of the evolution of zuhd, ḥadīth, and jihād which forms a junction in the biography Ibn al-Mubārak in a way that distinctively illuminates the second/eighth-century dynamics of nascent Sunnism. Furthermore, Ibn al-Mubārak’s status as a fighter and pious figure of the Late Antique period reveals a great deal about the complex relationship between the early Muslim community and the religiously diverse setting which they inhabited. This monograph on the figure of ʿAbdallāh b. al-Mubārak examines his life both critically and comprehensively while situating him within the larger context of the social and religious milieu of Late Antiquity. It explores the formation of Sunni identity in the second Islamic century and demonstrates the way in which it manifests through networks of pious scholars who define, preserve, and pass on what they understand to be normative Islamic practice and beliefs from one generation of Muslim intellectuals to another.Table des matièresContentsAcknowledgments IntroductionChapter 1 : Biography of ʿAbdallāh b. al-Mubārak The Sources of Ibn al-Mubārak’s Biography ʿAbdallāh b. al-Mubārak : His Life and Career as Presented in Classical Texts Ibn al-Mubārak’s Recording Ḥadīths through WritingIbn al-Mubārak the Merchant Ibn al-Mubārak’s Fiqh Ibn al-Mubārak’s Theology Ibn al-Mubārak’s Jihād Ibn al-Mubārak’s Role in Ḥadīth Transmission Ibn al-Mubārak’s ZuhdChapter 2 : ʿAbdallāh b. al-Mubārak and Ḥadīth Ibn al-Mubārak’s Role in Ḥadīth Transmission Ibn al-Mubārak’s Unpublished Books Ibn al-Mubārak’s Published Works Teachers and Students of ʿAbdallāh b. al-Mubārak Ibn al-Mubārak’s Teachers Prominent Students of Ibn al-Mubārak Ibn al-Mubārak and the Ḥadīth Networks in the Second/Eighth CenturyChapter 3 : Jihād in the Career of Ibn al-Mubārak The Thughūr Before Ibn al-Mubārak Ibn al-Mubārak’s Martial Pursuits as Depicted in the Classical Sources Ibn al-Mubārak’s Kitāb al-Jihād Transmitters of the Kitāb al-Jihād Intentions and JihādChapter 4 : Ibn al-Mubārak and His Zuhd What is Zuhd ?
