ابن عقدة الكوفي (ت:332هـ /943م) و مروياته التاريخية عن الولاية كتاب حديث الولاية انموذجاً

Ibn Ukda Al-Kuffi (332H/943D ) and his historical narratives about Al-Welaya in book of Hadeeth AL-Welaya as a model

The present study is hoped to be of importance in that it depends on its author’s fame, Al Haffiz and his proceeding contributions in the science which was called (Al-Hadeeth ) as one of the most prominent figures of Arab during the second Abbassia Area.
Al kuffi is regarded as an encyclopedia who had many interests. He is distinguished because many of the previous books that he left behind are in various fields, e.g. (interpretations , history and jurisprudence, etc… ) . His own memory and ample mentality, broad mentality intelligence are quite evident in (Al hadeeth ) .

Al Kuffi’s characteristics helped him to have a prominent position among other scholars in that century . His studies gained highly importance in that period because they are characterized by scientific predictions and a subject of great admiration and respect.

The prediction represebts the major source for many scholars. Till the present day for these reasons we have chosen one of his important books which is the cornerstone of the present study ( kitab Al Willaya ) to be the central point of the PhD dissertation and to know more in beside going deeply .

One of the reasons that leads me to choose this topic is that Al Haffiz ( the author) has occupied a special era in the Islamic History because he tried to keep it safe and objective. Thus, we have chosen it to know more about his biography and his scientific contributions . Moreover,he is regarded as one of the Shiaa’s scientific contributions which has its powerful effect in the period.

Although the Abbasian tyrants were more dominant in that period not only in kufa, but in all regions in which they exist.

In order to reach the desired goal of the present study depending on the title, I set out to draw a plan to follow, the introduction that deals with the area where he was starting with politics , social and intellectual.

The first chapter deals with the study of his biography, brought up, occupation and science , while the second chapter which was entitled ( A descriptive reading of the nature and approach of Ibin Uqda in his book ‘Al Wilaya’ ). The third chapter deals with the study of his resources. Finally, the study reaches a set of conclusions and the previous studies.

He is regarded as one of the famous historians who wrote history objectively without being influenced by religious intellectual current that was widely spread in historical area. The present study revealed the fact that he was historian who wrote history objectively away from inclination and without being influenced by the religious and intellectual currents that prevailed in his era, the study reveals the fact that he was honest and not biased to any class.

Ibn Uqda was known for his wide knowledge about what has been written in his period on the diversity of their subjects, so he owned a library containing thousands of books, and he was also known for being a memorizer of what he read.

Abu al-Abbas bin Uqda was a narrator of the narration as it was he adopted the method of the people of hadith, so he was satisfied with mentioning the source of the narration, or criticizing or expressing his own opinion, so it is possible to say that he was a transmitter of narrations and not a critic.

Abu Al-Abbas Ibn Adi adhered to the unity of the subject, so his book was limited to the historical information in (Al-Hadeeth), and there is no diversity in mentioning news and information about other events, as he was accurate in presenting his narratives. His scientific material was presented in his news reporting, coupled with chains of narrators in most of the narrations he transmitted.

Al-Kuffi was keen to mention the sources of his information, mostly the names of personalities – who are provided with the information he wrote down in his book.
