دراسة حديثية في جامع معمر بن راشد

Abstract EN

It becomes clear, having made the above presentation on the life of Imam Mu'ammar ibn Rashed, and his comprehensive book, that the Imam was a man of benevolence and abstinence, most keen among his generation in the search for knowledge, leading to journeying for Tradition of the Prophet and he had numerous teachers and students.

The Jami' book, falling at the end of Abdul Razzaq's work, as it also becomes clear, has been authored by Mu'ammar, with accreditation to him being authentic, but was made appendix to Abdul Razzaq's work since long time ago.

It was not complete, and was so from ancient time.

The Jami' book was not within the biography, contrary to the beliefs of some biographers, but it has been among the compendia known to Tradition specialists, namely, those which include Traditions relating to all chapters of the religion.

Mu'ammar, most probably, has no book on combat expeditions and biography.

The book attributed to him in that relation was by his student Abdul Razzaq, being part of the latter's printed work.

Abdul Razzaq has not so many additions to Mu'ammar's Jami'.

Those additions serve the work in so many ways, and do not negatively affect attribution to Mu'ammar.

Mu'ammar stated in his Jami' a hundred and four teachers, more than half of which are among the tabi'een (or followers of the Prophet's companions), most of whom Iraqis, most of whom are trustworthy sources (thiqat) or close thereto, with few reports attributed to weak (du'afaa) or neglected (matroukeen) sources, and even fewer attributed to innovators (ahl al bida').

He has teachers to whom he attributed reports other than in his Jami'.

It is most probable that Imam Mu'ammar has authored his Jami' in Yemen.

His reports from journals or via written messages are very rare.

The greater majority of his Traditions have been taken directly from his teachers.

His book included marfoo'aat, mawqoufaat, maqtou'aat and a few Israelites.

He has in his Jami' reports of some copies of traditions.

The Jami' is divided into chapters, with its organisation not completely accurate, as some biographies are repeated, or two matters are included in a single biography.

His biographies are summarized, with attention being paid to evidence, follow-up, reporters' additions and multifaceted service of deduced reports, with little use of Tradition terminology, as it is the case in other earlier books of Tradition reporting.
