Abstract

This paper investigates the overlooked topic of maternal ties of kinship in Umayyad history through the case study of ʿĀʾisha bint Hishām ibn Ismāʿīl al-Makhzūmī, the mother of Hishām ibn ʿ⁠Abd al-Malik (r. 105–125/724–743). Using a range of primary sources, including annalistic, adab, and eschatological sources, as well as early Islamic poetry, it investigates the significance of matrilineal kinship and naming practices in the Marwanid period. ʿĀʾisha’s representations across sources illuminates how sources discuss caliphal mothers and the role of the matrilineal family in marriage and naming practices. A brief prosopographical analysis also demonstrates the widespread use of maternal names in early Islamic society – ʿĀʾisha is said to have named her son after her father. Early Islamic poets praised maternal kinship ties, indicating an appeal to caliphal constituents from the maternal family. Overall, by incorporating maternal ties of kinship into Marwanid history, we may gain a more complete understanding of early Islamic society.

伊本-ʿĀʾisha：母系亲缘关系、命名习俗和马尔瓦尼母系诗学

本文通过对ʿĀʾisha bint Hishām ibn Ismāʿīl al-Makhzūmī（希沙姆-伊本-阿卜杜勒-马利克（Hishām ibn ʿAbd al-Malik，卒于 105-125/724-743 年）的母亲）的案例研究，探讨了倭马亚历史中被忽视的母系亲属关系。该书利用一系列原始资料，包括年鉴、阿达布、末世论资料以及早期伊斯兰诗歌，研究了马尔瓦尼德时期母系亲属关系和命名习俗的意义。ʿʾisha在不同资料中的表现阐明了资料是如何讨论卡利帕尔母亲以及母系家庭在婚姻和命名习俗中的作用的。对母系社会的简要分析还显示了早期伊斯兰社会中母系名字的广泛使用--据说ʿĀʾisha用父亲的名字给儿子取名。早期的伊斯兰诗人赞美母系亲属关系，这表明了对来自母系家族的哈里发成员的呼唤。总之，通过将母系亲属关系纳入马尔瓦尼德历史，我们可以更全面地了解早期伊斯兰社会。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
