Taslīb/Tasallub as the Manifestation of Victory and Defeat in Pre-Islamic and Early Islamic Warfare
Öz
This article argues that the ritual of taslīb/tasallub, the mourner’s abandonment of adornment and adoption of coarse black garments, was a highly regulated mourning practice. In the warrior’s mentality, it was more than a mere expression of grief. It was the visible manifestation of victory and defeat. Through the analysis of information gathered from classical Arabic lexicons, pre-Islamic poetry, historical and early Islamic legal sources, the study reconstructs the material and performative dimensions of the ritual and demonstrates its dual function in tribal warfare. For the victorious warrior, making the enemy women perform this mourning ritual was considered proof of his victory. For the defeated, this condition meant both public humiliation and an inescapable summons to vengeance. The article also examines the new regulations regarding this mourning tradition within the new ethical and social structure that emerged with the advent of Islam. It discusses how Islam dismantled extreme expressions of mourning rituals, such as wailing, self-mutilation, and garment rending, and thereby broke the link between the mourning woman and the cycle of tribal warfare.
