The ʿAhd Of ʿAlī In Al-Qāḍī Al-Nuʿmān’s Daʿāʾim Al-Islām Under Microscopic Scrutiny: New Disclosures

Abstract

In his celebrated book on Ismāʿīlī law entitled Dāʿāʾim al-Islām (The Pillars of Islam), al-Qāḍī al- Nuʿmān has incorporated the full version of a document called the ʿāhd of ʿAlī. It is a long document placed around the middle of the last chapter titled kitāb al-jihād (the book on jihād) in the first volume of the Daʿāʾim which deals with the primary section of Islamic law, viz., ʿibādāt, (Acts of Devotion and Religious Observances). The following study aims at reviewing the progress made in its thorough scrutiny by Gerald Salinger, Wadād al-Qāḍī and Heinz Halm. Their investigations have led them to arrive at new disclosures that the proto-type of the ʿaḥd ascribed to ʿAlī, both in the Daʿāʾim and Nahj al-balāgha, originated in Khurāsān.
