Abstract

ǾUyūn al-masā˒il is a work that address subjects related to non-Islamic sects, the Ahl al-Qiblah, the MuǾtazilah and its eminent scholars, along with topics including tawĥīd (‘oneness’ of God), taǾdīl (imputation of ‘divine justice’), tajwīr (imputation of ‘divine injustice’), nubuwwah (prophethood) and shāriǾ (revelatory evidences). It was written by one of Qāđī ǾAbd al-Jabbār b. Aĥmad al-Hamadhānī’s (c. 325–415/937–1024) strictest of followers, al-Ĥākim alJushamī. Al-Ĥākim al-Jushamī was a Zaydī scholar who studied under Abū Rashīd al-Nīsābūrī, a student of Qāfđī ǾAbd al-Jabbār, on sciences of kalām, uśūl al-fiqh, and ĥadīth. Ramazan Yıldırım introduces Jushamī as a student of Qāđī ǾAbd al-Jabbār, although there seems to be some issues with this in terms of historicity as well as in consideration of what other sources have to say on this matter. One of the important aspects of this book is that Jushamī takes his information from different sources and provides crucial references to the Mu’tazilah. He also uses sophisticated language in his criticisms and avoids an aggressive tone. This book on the whole is regarded as the most important source for the interaction between the Zaydiyyah and the MuǾtazilah.

Ramazan Yıldırım, inturuduces al-Ḥākim al-D̲j̲us̲h̲amī as a student of Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Jabbār but it doesn’t seem to be correct in terms of historical facts and informations in the sources. One of the important aspects of this book is that al-Ḥākim al-D̲j̲us̲h̲amī gathers his knowledge from different sources and gives references to Mu’tazila. al-Ḥākim al-D̲j̲us̲h̲amī gives important references to the Mu'tazila and uses a rather elegant language in his references and criticism instead of an aggressive one. Another aspect of the book is that it’s considered as the most important source for the interaction between Zaydiyya and Mu’tazila.
