Abstract

What is a creature within a creature, with no consanguinity or kinship between them? Upon what place did the sunshine once, but then never again? These and host of other Judeo-ʿ⁠Alīd brain-teasers are adduced by the seventeenth-century Shiʿite encyclopedist Muḥammad Bāqir al-Majlisī in order to shore up the most pristine and essential of Shiʿite claims: that ʿ⁠Alī should have been the successor to the Prophet Muḥammad. The material examined in this essay sheds light both upon aspects of the Sunni-Shiʿī polemic and on Shiʿism’s outlook on the previous monotheistic dispensations. This article analyzes the series of interlocutions adduced by Majlisī (and his sources) as part of the campaign to retroactively unseat the caliphs enshrined by Sunnism. As with Islamic tradition in general, Shiʿism displays in this material a penchant for drafting the exponents of surrounding creeds to shore up its political and religious claims.

什么是兽中之兽，它们之间没有血缘关系?什么地方曾有过一次阳光，却一去不复返?这些和许多其他Judeoʿ⁠Alīd脑筋急转弯引证的17世纪史ʿ尽管百科全书编纂人μḥammad Bāqir al-Majlisī为了支撑最原始最基本的施ʿ尽管声称:这ʿ⁠Alī应该是先知的继承人μḥammad。本文考察的材料阐明了逊尼派-什叶派争论的各个方面，以及什叶派对先前一神论时代的看法。本文分析了majlisi(和他的资料来源)引用的一系列对话，作为推翻逊尼派奉为神圣的哈里发的运动的一部分。与一般的伊斯兰传统一样，什叶派在这些材料中表现出一种倾向，即起草周围信条的代表，以支持其政治和宗教主张。

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.
