Description Authoritative and reliable editions of the Arabic and modern, lucid English translations introducing treasures of the Arabic literary heritage
Amad ibn anbal (d. 241/855), renowned for his profound knowledge of hadith—the reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds—is a major figure in the history of Islam. Ibn anbal's piety and austerity made him a folk hero, especially after his principled resistance to the attempts of two Abbasid caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging became one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic history. Ibn anbal's resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate.
Virtues of the Imam Amad ibn anbal is a translation of the biography of Ibn anbal penned by the Baghdad preacher, scholar, and storyteller, Ibn al-Jawz (d. 597/1201). It includes insights into Ibn anbal's childhood, travels, and teachings, as well as descriptions of his way of life. This second and final volume gives a vivid account of Ibn anbal's legendary confrontation with the caliphal Inquisition, including his imprisonment, trial, and flogging. Ultimately, it recounts how the people of Baghdad came to admire him as a symbol of Sunni Islam.
A bilingual Arabic-English edition.
