The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 31

This section of the History of al-¿abar¿ covers the caliphate of Müammad al-Am¿n, who succeeded his father, H¿r¿n al-Rash¿d on March 24, 809, and was killed on September 25, 813.The focus of this section is a single event, the civil war between al-Am¿n and his half-brother al-Mäm¿n. Before his death, al-Rash¿d had arranged for the succession in a series of documents signed at Mecca and deposited for safekeeping in the Ka'bah. Al-Am¿n was to become caliph; al-Mäm¿n was to govern Khurasan..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 38

The concluding pages of al-¿abar¿'s History cover the caliphates of al-Mu¿täid and al-Muktaf¿ and the beginning of the reign of al-Muqtadir--altogether a period of 23 turbulent years in world history. Although al-¿abar¿ has woven skillful narratives and quoted important documents verbatim, much of the information consists of brief notes jotted down by an observant and well-placed contemporary who witnessed the events as they occurred. The reporting is thus both vivid and, within limits, historically..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 29

This volume opens when the caliph al-Man¿¿r has just defeated the rebellion of Müammad the Pure Soul in 145/762-3 and is now securely established in power. The main concerns of the remaining thirteen years of his reign are the building of his new capital at Baghdad, on which al-al-¿abar¿'s text contains details not previously published in English, and his efforts to have his nephew ¿Is¿ ibn M¿s¿ replaced as heir apparent by his own son Müammad al-Mahd¿, a maneuver that required all his..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 33

This section of al-¿abar¿'s History covers the eight-year reign of al-Mu¿täim (833-42), immediately following the reign of his elder brother al-Ma'mun, when the Islamic caliphate was once more united after the civil strife and violence of the second decade of the ninth century A.D. Al-Mu'tasim's reign is notable for the transfer of the administrative capital of the caliphate from Baghdad north to the military settlement of Samarra on the Tigris, where it was to remain for some 60 years. This..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 32

The 20 years' caliphate of al-Mäm¿n began as a stormy period in Middle Eastern history; after the comparatively peaceful reign of his father H¿r¿n al-Rash¿d, the caliphate was plunged into violent civil warfare in both Iraq and Arabia, involving the sons of al-Rash¿d, rivals for the supreme authority, and various other sectarian rebels and aspirants for power. Yet once peace was secured and the caliphate lands united once more, al-Mäm¿n's reign settled down into one of the most exciting and..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 19

This volume deals with the caliphate of Yaz¿d. Yaz¿d was not accepted as a legitimate caliph by many of the leading Muslims of the time, and, therefore, al-¿abar¿ has concentrated his account of Yaz¿d's caliphate almost entirely on the opposition to him. This opposition had its leadership in two of the leading Islamic figures of the time, al-¿usayn, the son of the caliph ¿Al¿, and Ibn al-Zubayr, a leading Muslim who felt that he had had some claims to the caliphate himself. The first revolt..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 23

This volume covers the years 700-715 A.D., a period that witnessed the last five years of the caliphate of the Umayyad 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marw¿n and the whole of the caliphate of his son al-Wal¿d. In retrospect, this period can be seen to have marked the apogee of Marw¿nid Umayyad power. It began with the dangerous revolt of the Iraqi tribal leader Ibn al-Ash'ath, which seriously imperilled Marw¿nid control of Iraq and was countered with considerable difficulty; but this proved to be the last..

Although this volume deals with the part of al-¿abar¿'s History covering the years 12 and 13 (633-35), in the caliphates of Ab¿ Bakr al-¿idd¿q and ¿Umar ibn al-Khä¿¿b, the narratives contained in it, which are lengthy and detailed, are concerned with the first Muslim conquests in Iraq and Syria. Although it might be expected, therefore, that this volume would be a basic source for these conquests, the actual value of the bulk of the reported traditions is in considerable doubt because most..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 30

This volume of al-¿abar¿'s History covers nearly a quarter of a century, and after covering the very brief caliphate of al-H¿d¿, concentrates on that of H¿r¿n al-Rash¿d. During these years, the caliphate was in a state of balance with its external foes; the great enemy, Christian Byzantium, was regarded with respect by the Muslims, and the two great powers of the Near East treated each other essentially as equals, while the Caucasian and Central Asian frontiers were held against pressure from..

The present volume of al-¿abar¿'s monumental history covers the years 255-265/869-878, the first half of the reign of the Abbasid caliph al-Mütamid in S¿marr¿. Although the decade was one of relative calm in the capital, compared with the anarchy of the years immediately preceding, danger signals were flashing in territories adjacent to the imperial heartlands. Chief among them was the revolt of the Zanj, the narrative of which occupies the bulk of the present volume.A people of semi-servile..

This volume deals with the aftermath of the decisive battle at al-Q¿disiyyah described in the previous volume. First, the conquest of southern Iraq is consolidated; in rapid succession there follow the accounts of the battles at Burs and B¿bil. Then in 16/637 the Muslim warriors make for the capital al-Mada'in, ancient Ctesiphon, which they conquer after a brief siege. The Persian king seeks refuge in ¿ulw¿n, leaving behind most of his riches, which are catalogued in great detail. In the same..

The present volume of the History of al-¿abar¿ deals with the years 14 and 15 of the Islamic era, which correspond to A.D. 635-637. The nascent Islamic state had just emerged victorious from the crisis that followed the Prophet's death in 632 and had suppressed what was known as the riddah (\apostasy\) rebellion in the Arabian peninsula. Under the leadership of ¿Umar ibn al-Khä¿¿b, the second caliph, or successor to the Prophet Muhammad, the Muslims embarked on the conquests that would soon..

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 20

This volume covers the vital early years of the second Muslim civil war, when the Umayyad caliphate seemed on the point of extinction. That it survived had much to do with the vigor of the Umayyad Marw¿n ibn al-Hakam whose initial restoration of Umayyad authority is described here in some detail by al-¿abar¿'s sources. In the chaos and confusion of the civil war, however, developments took place that were to prove significant for the future of the Umayyad calphate, indeed for the early history..

This volume chronicles the history of the Islamic state in the years A. H. 74-81 (A. D. 693-701), after the final defeat of Ibn al-Zubayr in Mecca put an end to twelve years of civil war and reunited the empire under the rule of the Marw¿nid caliph 'Abd al-Malik. Syria and the Hijaz enjoyed a period of relative peace during this time, and stability and consolidation were furthered by such basic administrative reforms as the institution of an official Islamic coinage.

Both parties contented for control of Iraq, which was also the setting for al-Mukht¿r's Sh¿¿ite..

The sixth volume of the translation of al-¿abar¿'s History deals with the ancestors of Müammad, with his own early life, and then with his prophetic mission up to the time of his Hijrah or emigration to Medina. The topics covered mean that this volume is of great importance both for the career of Muhammad himself and for the early history of Islam. Al-¿abar¿ was familiar with, and made use of, the main early source of these matters, the Sirah or life of Müammad by Ibn Is¿¿q, a work which..

The period covered in this volume is one of the most tumultuous periods of Islamic history. In it, al-¿abar¿ details with great success the intricate events that shaped real political power in S¿marr¿ and Baghdad during the middle of the ninth century, laying bare the dynamics through which the army generals--who were mainly of Central Asian Turkish extraction--consolidated their grip on the caliphate.

The History of al-¿abar¿ Vol. 26

The years 738-745/121-127, which this volume covers, saw the outbreak in Syria of savage internecine struggles between prominent members of the Umayyad family, which had ruled the Islamic world since 661/41. After the death of the caliph Hish¿m in 743-/125, the process of decay at the center of the Umayyad power--the ruling family itself--was swift and devastating. Three Umayyad caliphs (al-Wal¿d II, Yaz¿d III, and Ibrahim) followed Hish¿m within little more than a year, and the subsequent intervention..
