Reviewing a Hadith Manuscript Equated to ʿAli b. Maʿbad al-Misrī (d. 218/833)
Abstract
Hanafi bookman ʿAli b. Maʿbad b. Shaddād al-Rakkī al-Misrī (d. 218/833) from Raqqa who actualized the major scientific activities in Egypt was a little-known narrator and canonist in our day. ʿAli b. Maʿbad took lessons from teachers such as al-Layth b. Saʿd (d. 175/791), Ismāīl ibn Jaʿfar (d. 180/796), Muḥammad al-Shaybānī (d. 189/805) ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb (d. 197/813). Moreover, he was the narrator of Imam Muḥammad’s books called al-Jāmi al-Kabīr and al-Jāmi al-Saghīr. The book called Kitāb al-tāʿat wa al-maʿsiya that is the only text equated to him is still on the loose. We aimed to analyze the hadiths that are written on a papyrus recorded as “Mich.Pap.D.953” in Cambridge University. We have concluded by this papyrus that 13 numbered papyrus that N. Abbott analyzed in his book called Studies in Arabic literary papyri II is the two parts of the same book. In this regard, we also researched whether this papyrus belongs to the book we’ve mentioned about. However, this papyrus might be a part of his other book that we do not know. Our investigation of this book as a hadith fascicle that was directly written by the author will offer an insight to the reliability of narration of hadith books. Our goal is to contribute to arguments in this aspect.
