مبالغة الروايات في دور عبد الرحمن الداخل في تأسيس الإمارة الأموية بالأندلس

Abstract EN

Irrespective of the fact that exaggeration is something normal in history especially when it comes to the evaluation of the roles of some prominent figures, it is remarkably that there is a relative variation in this respect.

It happens sometimes that there is a semi consensus in evaluating the roles of some characters; however this might not happen when it comes to evaluate the roles of other characters.

It seems that 'Abd al-Rahman I is among first team characters.

His crossing to Andalusia and establishment of the Umayyad Emirate there in 138 A.H.

/755 A.D.

had been over estimated.

This is very obvious in some historic references that tackled this topic which had given him the attributes of the only hero of the absolute and sole role.

Meanwhile, contradiction can be detected in these references for they also provided some information that belittle of these attributes by saying that there are some factors and other characters and groups have a share in the role that had been attributed to him.
