كتاب الذخائر والأعلام في آداب النفوس للباهلي الإشبيلي (ت 544 هـ-1149 م)‎: دراسة في المنهج والمصادر

Abstract EN

This work is based on studying one of al-Andalus scientists who lived in the middle of the 5th century to the middle of the 6th century Hijri (11th-12th BC).

he is Abdulla ibn Salam al-Bahili al-Ishbeeli, taken as an example of the writers of the Prophet’s Seera (life, behaviour and work) in Andalusia.

in his work, al-Thakha-er wa al-Alaq fi Aadaab al-Nufoos was Makarem al-Akhlaaq, he dedicated a chapter for the Prophet’s Seera.

this work concentrates on al-Bahili’s approach in writing the Prophet’s Seera and his being interested in its various aspects and how to tackle it, as well as on the author’s position among the Andalusian writers of the Prophet’s Seera.

this work has concluded that al-Bahili was interested in dedicating a chapter for the Prophet’s Seera to complete his book that he wanted to contain all the important akhbar (news and historical tales) and good behavour.

it has also concluded that al-Bahili was selective in mentioning the Seera events, not binding him self with the chronological order of events, the way others had done.

the work also concluded that the author was quite flexible in the series of sanad (the list of people who have passed the pieces of news from one to another used in the way of documentation), neglecting some of the sanads, thus approving some prophet’s hadeeths with different degrees of documentation, ranging from strongly right to weak.

it has been clear to us that he had given more weight to some information, which he had accepted as true.

It has also been clear to us that his sources were limited
