Between History and Exegesis: The Origins and Transformation of the Story of Muḥammad and Zaynab bt Ǧaḥš
This article examines the origins of the story of the Prophet Muḥammad’s controversial marriage with Zaynab bt Ǧaḥš as well as its transformation and reinterpretation through the centuries. The fact that the story features in different genres of Islamic literature as well as in non-Muslim sources allows for a reconstruction of how and where the story emerged, how it spread and to what extent it was transformed over time. In the course of this rec…
Concepts of Authorship in Pre-Modern Arabic Texts
1 This goes along with a reduction in complexity we should be aware of.Jannidis et al., "Rede ber den Autor an die Gebildeten unter seinen Verchtern," 32 (for bibliographical details, see "introduction"). 2 It is rather difficult to produce a comprehensive list of all possible authorial functions.It is also true that there are many different terms and definitions, such as "precursory authorship", "executive authorship", "collaborative authorship"…

Tilman Nagels Kritik an der Isnad-cum-matn-Analyse. Eine Replik
In a recent issue of Arabica , Tilman Nagel published a fundamental critique of the isnād-cum-matn analysis. He claims that the method is a formalistic procedure that is incapable of producing any relevant results with regard to the life of Muḥammad and that is to be regarded as a step backwards in the study of the historical Muḥammad. He also criticises the proponents of this method – most notably Gregor Schoeler and Harald Motzki – and accuses …
First Century Sources for the Life of Muḥammad? A Debate
In a recent issue of Der Islam, Stephen R. Shoemaker has contributed an extensive article in which he challenged the processes and findings of a number of studies conducted by Gregor Schoeler, Harald Motzki, and Andreas Görke. The following article offers a response to his findings. Whereas the three authors argued the case for the possibility that authentic traditions of the first century of the Hijra can be reconstructed, Shoemaker holds the co…
The Transmission and Dynamics of the Textual Sources of Islam: Essays in Honour of Harald Motzki
For many Muslims, the textual sources of Islam provide the guiding principles on which they base their beliefs. These texts have also been studied by Western scholars of Islam for centuries. Most of their work has focussed on the historicity of the texts, often at the expense of the study of Muslims' highly diverse interpretation and application of these sources in everyday life. This volume provides new insights into the transmission of these so…

The relationship between maghāzī and ḥadīth in early Islamic scholarship
The relationship between the traditional biographical material on Muḥammad (maghāzī- or sīra-material) and the narrations of his words and deeds (ḥadīth-material) has long been debated in Islamic studies. While some scholars have argued that the biographical material is fundamentally ḥadīth material arranged chronologically, others have argued the opposite: that ḥadīth material originally consists of narrative reports about the life of Muḥammad w…
Die Spaltung des Mondes in der modernen Koranexegese und im Internet
This article explores the scope of interpretation in the contemporary exegesis of the Qurʾān and the underlying trends in modern Islam that influence this exegesis. It focuses on one Qurʾānic verse - Q 54:1 - and investigates the differences and similarities between the contemporary exegesis of this verse and the classical exegetical tradition as well as the possible influence of an author’s regional, professional and confessional background on h…
