In one of the comparatively rare references to the
Muqaddimah in the 'Ibar, Ibn Khaldun
refers to this chapter as proof of the spuriousness of the alleged
Sassanian genealogy of the Bayids; cf. 'Ibar, III, 395.
And again, in 'Ibar, V, 436 f.,
and in VI, 7 f., he refers to it as an argument against the alleged
descent of the Syrian tribe Al Fail and their chief, Muhanna', from
'Abbisah, the sister of ar-Rashid. Cf. pp. 28 ff, above, and p. 272,
below. |

According to
the vocalization in D, the name reads Yagh (a) mrasin. The
Autobiography suggests the
vocalizations Yagha/imrisa/in; cf.
Autobiography, p. 453. Modern
scholarship commonly uses the wrong form Yaghmu/orasa/in. It seems to
have been influenced by the occurrence of the name of Yaghmir for the
same man. But his name is also pronounced Ghamrasen, in modern Tlemcen,
according to A. Bel in his edition of Yabyi Ibn Khaldun,
Histoire des Beni 'Abd el-Wad
(Algiers, 1903/4), p. 157 (n.3). |

Cf. Surdon
and Bercher, p. 26. Referring the Arabic pronoun to "the usefulness of
(such a noble descent)" would imply that Yaghamrasin was skeptical as to
the religious merit of 'Alid descent. |
