Early Islamic Law in Basra in The 2nd/8th Century
Aqwal Qatadah b. Da'amah al-Sadusi
Series: - Islamic History and Civilization, Volume: 142
Editor:
The manuscript of the AqwÄl QatÄda has repeatedly attracted particular interest among modern scholars, as it raises questions concerning the early development of the IbÄá¸Ä« Basran community and the emergence of Islamic jurisprudence in Iraq. It is a unique document because it attests to the existence of a scholarly link between SunnÄ«s and IbÄá¸Ä«s during the early development of Islamic law. The fact that the legal responsa and traditions of QatÄda b. DiÊ¿Äma al-SadÅ«sÄ« (60/680-117/735) are part of an IbÄá¸Ä« collection, in which the traditions of IbÄá¸Ä« Imam JÄbir b. Zayd (d. 93/ 711) have been transmitted through Ê¿Amr b. Harim and Ê¿Amr b. DÄ«nÄr, proves that the IbÄá¸Ä« lawyers of the first generations considered QatÄda to be a faithful upholder of JÄbir's doctrine. Given the lack of material available for JÄbir, instructions must have been given to collect whatever was transmitted through QatÄda. QatÄda's legal responsa must have corresponded to those of the first IbÄá¸Ä« authorities, which explains why the collator of the AqwÄl QatÄda (probably AbÅ« GhÄnim al-KhurÄsÄnÄ«) included them in an IbÄá¸Ä« manuscript. The present volume sheds light on the relationship between the AqwÄl QatÄda and IbÄá¸Ä« authorities such as al-RabÄ«, AbÅ« Ubayda, and JÄbir.
