This
paragraph is found in C and D. |
|
110 |
The
statement of az-Zuhri, as well as the remark concerning ashShafi'i, is
derived from Ibn al-Salah, Muqaddimah, p.
238 (Ch.
xxxiv). The remark concerning ash-Shifi'i is slightly differently worded
in Ibn as-Salah, showing that Ibn Khaldun probably quoted from memory.
Muhammad b. Muslim az-Zuhri died between 740 and 743. Cf. 1:17, above. |
|
111 |
The text
of this section was considerably changed by Ibn Khaldun in his later
years. The upper text is that of the latest recension as represented by
C and D, the lower text, in italic type, is that found in Bulaq, A, and
B. |
|
112 |
The text
of C and D (wa-l-qubul manqul'anhum)
should be
corrected to wa-qubal al-manqul
'anhum. |

The terms muftariq and
mukhtalif are not usually employed as specific terms referring to
the text of traditions. Possibly they are intended to stand for
muttafiq-and-muftariq or mu'talif-and-mukhtalif. The former of these
compound terms usually signifies instances of the same proper names
designating different persons; the latter signifies names spelled alike
but pronounced differently. Cf. Ibn as-Salah, Muqaddimah, pp.
333 H: (Chs. LIII & LIV): Mukhtalif
also occurs in the science of traditions
in discussion of "contradictory" traditions, and may be applied to them
whether they are reconcilable or not. Cf. Ibn as-Salah, pp. 244
f. (Ch. xxxvi). This, apparently,
was in de Slane's mind when he listed mukhtalif as meaning
"contradictory but reconcilable." Cf. his translation, II, 484. |

This is presumably Muhammad b. al-Hasan
al-Wasiti al-Muzani, to whom al-Bukhari gives some prominence in his
Ta'rikh, and who is said to have died in 187 [803]. Cf. al-Bukhari,
Ta'rikh, II, 67 f; Ibn Hajar, Tahdhib, IX, 118-20. A less
likely candidate is Ibn Zabilah, who wrote ca. 199 [814]. Cf.
GAL, I,
137. There are many hadith scholars called Muhammad
b. alHasan, none of them particularly prominent. |

found in C and D. For Ibn Khaldun's lecture on the Muwatte', cf.

The rest of the paragraph as in C and D..
The earlier texts have: "A tradition may be transmitted in numerous ways
and on the authority of different transmitters. A tradition may also
occur in several chapters because it deals with different subjects." |
|
128 |
The first half of the sentence in C and
D. Musnad has here the general meaning of "collection of
traditions." |
|
129 |
Ibn as-Salah, Muqaddimah, p. 15
(Ch. t),
has 7,275. |
|
130 |
A and B read: "Still, those two (works)
do not include all sound traditions. Therefore, scholars have corrected
the two (authors) in this respect." The rest of the paragraph is
omitted. |

The earlier text adds here: "They are
unlikely to have done such a thing." |
|
141 |
From here to the end of the sentence, the
translation follows C and D. The earlier text reads: ". . . on the
authority of their authors, and studying the chains of transmitters,
examining all that in the light of the conditions and laws established
in the science of tradition, so that the chains of
transmitters (can be considered as) continuous and well established
throughout." |

Cf.
Concordance, II,
16b; III,
32b, Al-Bukhari quotes the tradition twice in the book on the pilgrimage
in the Sahih, but not as a chapter heading, and he does not quote
it in the book on fitan,
according
to Krehl's edition of the Sahih.
The
tradition occurs in the book on fitan in the Sahib of
Muslim, at II, 688, of the ed. Calcutta, 1265/1849.

Ka'bah was appointed as a place of safety by divine decree, nobody could

The
preference for Muslim's work is not shared by Ibn as-Salah. This is made
clear in his Muqaddimah, p. 14
(Ch.
1). Ibn
Khaldun's statement is a rather
free quotation of that chapter, from memory. |
