{"title":"The Ten Promised Paradise: A Study of The Origin and Formation of a Sunni Doctrine Through <i>Isnād-Cum-Matn</i> Analysis","authors":"I- Wen Su","doi":"10.1093/jis/etad002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jis/etad002","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The concept that a certain nine or ten Companions, assured of Paradise in a Prophet ḥadīth, are superior to the rest of the Companions is among the most noteworthy Sunni beliefs. However, though well represented in the works of the ninth-century ḥadīth scholars, this concept has yet to receive adequate discussion in current scholarship. This article investigates its origin by examining various versions of the ‘Ten Promised Paradise’ ḥadīth through isnād-cum-matn analysis. The analysis suggests that this hadith, first emerging before 700, was widely circulated in Iraqi cities (above all, Kufa), and Madina before the mid-eighth century. Through examination of the socio-political milieu in which the earliest known disseminators of the ḥadīth lived, this article argues that the concept came into circulation after the second fitna. This ḥadīth’s ascendancy emerged (in Kufa) from protest against both the Umayyad hostility towards the ʿAlids and their partisans and proto-Shiʿi movements of all kinds (the Ghulāt and Hāshimīs); its propogation in Madina was most likely prompted by rivalry between the caliphate and the Hijazi elite. The article goes on to explore how the ethos of this ḥadīth became an early Sunni doctrine. A close examination of the transmitters following the earliest identifiable disseminators of various versions of the ḥadīth reveals that many transmitters played a prominent role in shaping the communal identity of the ahl al-ḥadīth. They took part in formulating their historical memory, developing ḥadīth criticism and establishing sunna either by articulating the ‘orthodoxy’ or by combating the so-called ‘innovators’.","PeriodicalId":44374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134921183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the Umayyad phase of the building which, given its repercussions on the mosque foundation, is the reason Alain George devotes a good share of the volume to the pre-Islamic history of the site. The book consists of an introduction, six chapters, and an appendix section with some primary sources that contribute to a fuller appreciation of the mosque. The introduction and first chapter discuss the interest sparked by this religious building as reflected in works devoted to it. The fascination with it started very early as a now lost work about the mosque is attested as early as 900. For modern times the overview includes pivotal publications by Creswell1 and Sauvaget,2 The Great Mosque of Damascus by Barry Flood,3 and a few works produced by Syrian scholars such as Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Munajjid4 and Adnan Bounni.5 The first pages also state the main aims of the book, namely to disclose the process that led to the mosque’s foundation and to undress the structure of later accretions in order to reveal the Umayyad phase of the building. The chapter recounts the main events occurring in and around the mosque over the centuries—especially interesting are the contestation of Damascus between the Fatimids and the Seljuks, and George’s careful reconstruction of the fires and earthquakes that affected the mosque structure. The chapter also introduces some methodological notions that reappear throughout. The first is the notion of palimpsest, meaning a surface layer which retains some traces from previous (older) layers. The second is the extensive use of the rich photographic—and, to a lesser degree, pictorial—evidence of the mosque produced in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","PeriodicalId":44374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136197239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
