Cf. R. Dozy
in Journal asiatique, XIV 6 (1869), 160 f. Dozy prefers "information" to "traditions."
For the modern literature dealing with the Mahdi
traditions, cf., for instance, D. B. Macdonald in EI, s.v. "al-Mahdi,"
and, for some of the additional Shi'ah material, W. Ivanow,

appears in at-Tirmidhi's Sahih
(Bulaq, 1292/1875), 11, 23-44, and esp. p. 36.
It should
be noted that the chief authorities, al-Bukhari and Muslim, do not have
the traditions concerning the Mahdi as Ibn Khaldun quotes them.

is expressly called Jabir b. 'Abdallah by Muslim. Otherwise,

In connection with this
tradition, Abu Dawud mentions different chains of transmitters from 'Asim
down. In one of them, the transmitter on the authority of 'Asim is this Za'idah b. Qudamah, who
died between 160 and 163 [776 and 780]. Cf. Ibn Hajar,
Tahdhib, III,
306 f.
Here, and in some of the subsequent citations of
traditions, it has proved impossible always to follow the involved
course of quotations within quotations by using sequences of double and
single quotation marks, in the conventional way; so that quotations are
sometimes presented without the use of quotation marks at all. But no
loss of clarity can possibly result from this.

Here and repeatedly in the pages following we have
typical examples of the important traditional discipline of "personality
criticism," concerned with evaluating the reliability of
hadith transmitters. (Cf. 1:72
[n. 2], above.) Ibn Khaldun did not, of course, collect all his
statements from primary sources, but relied upon one of the large
dictionaries compiled by hadith
scholars. Practically all the material he mentions can be
found under the relevant entries of Ibn Hajar's
Tahdhib. Since that work is
based upon the Tahdh'ib
of al-Mizzi, which, in turn, is based upon the
Kamal fi
ma'rifat arrijal by
al-Jammi'ili (cf. GAL, I, 357;
suppl., I, 606), the inference
is that Ibn Khaldun used al-Jamma'ili or one of the works depending on
him. Most of these works are available only in MS, and were not at hand
for the close checking that would be necessary to ascertain the exact
provenience of Ibn Khaldun's remarks. |

f. Comparison with Ibn Abi Hatim's Kitab al-Jarh
wa-t-ta'dil (Hyderabad, 1360-73/1941-53), III
1, 341, shows that the following quotations, down to the one marked by

cautious way of judging fellow scholars.

the story of Saul is mixed up with that of Gideon (Judg. 7:6). In Judg.
7:6, the number of men is given as 300. For the comparison between the
number of Muslim fighters at Badr in 624 and that of Saul's men, cf. at-Tabari,
Annales, I, 1296 R. The canonical number for both groups is there
set at "310 and some," or 313. Cf. also, for instance, ath-Tha'labi,
Qisas al-anbiyd', the account of Saul; and Ibn Kathir, Biddyah,

The title of Ibn 'Arabi's work is Anqa' maghrib fi khatm al-awliya'
wa-shams al-maghrib, "The Phoenix on the Sealing of the Saints and
the Sun (Rising from) the West." The expression khatm al-awliya'
occurs again in the introduction to the work. Otherwise, the work has
little to do with this subject, and there seems little occasion to speak
of the Fatimid in connection with it. The subsequent quotation from Ibn
'Arabi is not found in it, either; apparently Ibn Khaldun quoted the
work through Ibn Abi Watil.
I consulted the following MSS of the 'Anqa' in
Istanbul: Reis el-Kuttap 483 (dated 844 [1441]); Koprulu
749 (probably seventeenth century); Ragib Papa 1453, fols.
133a-180b
(eighteenth century copy of a MS written by Ibn 'Arabi's student, Sadr-ad-din
al-Qonawi, approved by Ibn 'Arabi himself); and Carullah 1062.
An incomplete work on the Mahdi is ascribed to the same Qonawi in the
MS. Aya Sofya 4849, fols. 168a-180a. Cf. GAL, I, 449
f.; Suppl., I, 807 f. [Further MSS of the 'Anqa' are
enumerated by K. 'Awwad in Majallat al-Majma' al-'Ilmi al-'Arabi
(Damascus), XXIX (1954), 532. 'Awwad appears, however, to be
wrong when he says that the work has been published.]
