Abstract

This paper examines al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Diḥyah al-Kalbī, a prominent hadith scholar from the 7th Hijri century Andalus (former Spain). He is well-known for his work al-Tanwīr fī Mawlid al-Sirāj al-Munīr, considered to be the first book by a hadith scholar on the birth of Prophet Muhammad, although it has not been fully published in modern prints. Ibn Diḥyah is recognised for a number of other works that can be regarded as the first of their kind. Ibn Diḥyah’s renown is based on his works and his position as the first hadith professor at Dār al-Ḥadīṯ al-Kāmiliyyah, the second royal hadith institution established in the Muslim world after Dār al-Ḥadīṯ al-Nūriyyah. The institution was founded in Egypt by the nephew of Ṣalāh al-Dīn al-Ayyūbī, al-Malik al-Kāmil Abū al-Maʿālī Muḥammad ibn Sayf al-Dīn Abū Bakr I. This study raises concerns regarding the lack of attention paid by historians of hadith to scholars from Andalusia as a result of their concentration on scholars from the eastern Islamic world. One of Ibn Diḥyah’s famous works is Nihāyat al-Sūl fī Ḫaṣāʾiṣ al-Rasūl, the oldest complete account of the unique attributes, laws, and situations pertaining to Prophet Muhammad. This research emphasises that the study of problematic hadiths comprises not only concerns of theology or jurisprudence, but also narratives and accounts in the field of sirah (Prophetic biography). Given Ibn Diḥyah’s assertion that ḫaṣāʾiṣ cannot be abrogated (nasḫ), research on problematic hadiths, particularly in this area, is deemed essential. Furthermore, the study advocates for a larger focus on problematic hadiths in the broader realm of sirah.
