    Isma'il b. 'Abd al-Qadir (d. I897), a member of a'holy family' of Kordofan, had studied at al-Azhar and later served as mufti in El Obeid, In late 1882 he joined the Mahdi. His subsequent career cannot be fully reconstructed. On 2 Rabi I 1306/6 November 1888, he completed his Sira of the Mahdi, On 6 Shawwal 1306/5 June 1889, he completed another work, dealing with the wars between the Khalifa and the Abyssinians. In 1893, at the Khalifa's order, Isma'il's writings were destroyed and he was banished to al-Rajjaf, where he died in the beginning of 1897. The unique extant manuscript copy of Isma'il's Sira, which forms the basis of the thesis, is a biography of the Mahdi by one of his adherents, which also contains elements of a chronicle. Its history, sources and contents are discussed in the introduction to the thesis. The main historical value of the Sira lies in its presentation of the Turco-Egyptian, the Mahdi and the Khalifa, In addition, it contains many details on ideological, military and other affairs of the Mahdia, and provides an insight into the outlook and frame of mind of an educated Mahdist. The second, and longer part of the thesis is a very full summary, at times approaching a translation, of the text of the Sira. All historically relevant details, including all names of persons, tribes and places, have been retained and, in many cases, annotated. Also, the pagination of the original Arabic manuscript has been indicated. The appendixes include source materials for Isma'il's life (one of them still in manuscript) and a list of proclamations and letters transcribed in the Sira

    Potret stratifikasi periwayat hadis: Studi kasus relasi Abu Al-Siddiq (w. 108 H) dengan Qatadah (w. 118 H) dalam periwayatan hadis Al-Mahdi

    Hadis-hadis al-Mahdi melalui jalur Abu al-Siddiq tidak diriwayatkan oleh muridnya yang bernama Qatadah b. Di’amah. Sementara itu Qatadah adalah rawi yang paling banyak menerima riwayat dari Abu al-Siddiq. Di sisi lain, Qatadah juga memiliki riwayat tentang al-Mahdi, hanya saja ia menerimanya dari gurunya yang lain bernama Abu Nadrah (w. 109 H). Dan bila dibandingkan, jumlah riwayat yang miliki Abu al-Siddiq adalah 183 sementara Abu Nadrah 1.181 riwayat. Dalam sudut pandang para muhaddis, jumlah riwayat yang dimiliki oleh seorang rawi menjadi indikasi adanya perbedaan hirarki di antara para periwayat hadis. Munculnya sebutan seperti al-Musnid, al-Hakim, al-Hafiz dan Amir al-Mu’minin fi al-Hadis adalah bukti bahwa setiap rawi menempati kedudukan yang berbeda yang salah satunya dilihat dari jumlah riwayat yang mereka miliki. Hal ini menjadi bukti bahwa stratifikasi di kalangan para periwayat hadis memang benar adanya. Berdasarkan persoalan di atas, maka penelitian ini difokuskan untuk menjawab dua persoalan; pertama, untuk menjelaskan faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya perbedaan stratifikasi di kalangan periwayat hadis. Kedua, untuk menguraikan ada atau tidaknya keterkaitan antara perbedaan stratifikasi dengan ketidakterlibatan Qatadah dalam periwayatan hadis al-Mahdi dari Abu al-Siddiq. Karena frame dari kajian ini adalah tentang rijal hadis, maka penelitian dipusatkan pada pembahasan tentang tarikh ruwah dan jarh ta’dil rawi. Dalam hal ini kajian rijal hadis terpusat pada Qatadah dan dua orang gurunya, yaitu Abu al-Siddiq dan Abu Nadrah. Setelah didapatkan informasi seputar profil dan catatan tentang para rawi di atas, selanjutnya data-data tersebut dikomparasikan dengan teori stratifikasi yang dirumuskan oleh Ibn Khaldun dalam Muqaddimahnya. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif, ide yang didapatkan dalam teori tersebut kemudian digunakan untuk menggali dan mencari fakta-fakta yang terrefleksikan selama proses periwayatan hadis al-Mahdi. Setelah dilakukan penelitian maka didapat kesimpulan; pertama, perbedaan hirarki di kalangan para periwayat hadis jauh-jauh hari sudah dirumuskan oleh para muhaddis, buktinya adalah penggunaan istilah khusus untuk setiap rawi berdasarkan jumlah riwayat yang mereka hafal. Hal ini selanjutnya dikuatkan dengan temuan bahwa para rawi yang terlibat dalam periwayatan hadis masing-masing memiliki jumlah riwayat yang tidak sama dengan rawi lainnya. Kedua, hadis al-Mahdi yang diriwayatkan melalui Abu al-Siddiq tidak lantas menjadi turun derajatnya karena hirarki Abu al-Siddiq tidak lebih unggul dibanding Abu Nadrah. Demikian pula hadis al-Mahdi yang diriwayatkan melalui Abu Nadrah dan Qatadah tidak naik derajatnya meskipun keduanya secara jumlah memiliki riwayat hadis lebih unggul dibanding Abu al-Siddiq

    Abu 'l-Hajjaj Yusuf b. Sulaiman b. 'Isa b. Sulaiman al-Nahmi al-A'lam al-Shantamari (died in A.H. 476/A.D. 1038) was generally known by the name of al-A'lam al-Shantamari. He was a native of Seville and one of the most famous scholars of that city. He was taught by the greatest scholars of his day such as Ibrahim b. al-Iflili and Abu Sahl al-Harrani from whom he learned a great deal about philology, grammar, and pre-Islamic poetry. Al-A'lam al-Shantamari was highly regarded by the 'Abbadids of Seville. They relied upon him to teach their children, to answer their questions on Arabic grammar and letters, and to write books for them when requested. He is considered one of the most reliable narrators. A great deal of pre-Islamic poetry, such as the Diwans of the six pre-islamic poets and the unique collection of poetry (Diwan al-Hamasa) have been handed down to us by him together with his excellent commentaries on them. Most of al-Shantamari's works are still in manuscript and this thesis attempts to produce a critical edition of al-Shantamari's Commentary on al-Hamasa. The thesis deals with the first chapter, Bab al-Hamasa, which presents 247 pieces of poetry and covers more than one third of the whole book. The thesis comprises a historical introduction and five chapters. The Introduction throws light on the conquest of Spain by the Arabs, on the Banu 'Abbad of Seville, the survival of Arabic in Spain, trends of literary composition, and finally Andalusian literature. Chapter One deals with the narrators of old poetry, early poetic composition, and the first recorded commentaries on old poetry. Chapter Two traces the history of al-Hamasa poetry in the Arab cultural heritage, anthologies of al-Hamasa, Abu Tammam al-Ta'i, the interpreters of Diwan al-Hamasa, and the interpreters whose works have, as far as we know, not survived. Chapter Three is concerned with al-A'lam al-Shantamari's activities. Chapter Four describes the construction of the text and describes fully the manuscripts utilized in constructing the text of al-Hamasa, the attribution of al-Hamasa to al-Shantamari, and study of Sharh al-A'lam. Chapter Five reproduces the Arabic text together with the necessary footnotes, takhrijat, the variants for each piece of poetry, and the indexes
