Morning and evening prayers in Early Islam
Western scholars have already noticed that according to Muslim sources, before the five daily prayers became part of the “pillars” of Islam, the Muslims used to pray only twice a day. Goldziher states that “before the duty of prayer was extended to five times a day, the Muslims are said to have observed only two canonical times of prayer: morning and afternoon...”. 1 Other scholars, like Mittwoch, for instance, who studied the evidence of Muslim …

The Massacre of the Banū Qurayẓa
The story of the massacre of the Banū Qurayẓa (April 627 A.D./Dhū l-Qaʿda 5 A.H.), 1 as recorded in various compilations of the Sīra-literature, is concerned with the final blow which the prophet Muḥammad struck at the last Jewish tribal aroup in Medina
Israeli Judaism
This is an unusual and extremely timely collective effort. It appears at a moment inwhich Israelis not only must confront their Arab neighbors, but must deal with one another as Jews possessing radically different views on the present and future of the tradition. With this seventh volume of the series, the Israeli Sociological has turned its attention to religion, an area that for many years has been of high importance, but low profile in Israeli…
Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān
In recent years, the Qur'ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating th…
“… And He Was Born Circumcised …”
The ritual of circumcision, in practice throughout the Muslim world, is traced back to Ibrahim, the ancestor of the Jews and the Arabs. Arab tradition, like that of the Jews, holds that he was the first who circumcised himself on the order of God. His is said to have performed this ritual at the age of eighty and to have lived until the age of two hundred. Another tradition claims that he carried out circumcision at the age of one hundred and twe…

Land Property and Jihad
LAND PROPERTY AND JIHAD A discussion of some early traditions BY M. J. KISTER In memory of Prof M. M. Plessner Traditions which deal with agriculture and the possession of landed property, or with the question whether the acquisition of farms and estates in the territiories conquered by the Muslim forces in the early period is permitted or not, are often divergent and even contradic- tory. The diverse utterances seem to reflect ideological differ…

On the papyrus of Wahb b. Munabbih
The recently edited fragments of the Sīra of Wahb b. Munabbih are probably the earliest extant document of sīra-literature. R. G. Khoury painstakingly performed the laborious task of deciphering the extremely difficult text of the papyrus, and has prepared a careful edition of it. There remain, however, some misreadings which may lead to an erroneous understanding of the text. These are corrected in the present paper

A Bag of Meat
The manuscript Qarawīyūn 727 in Fez contains on folios 37b-38a a tradition reported by Yūnus b. Bukayr on the authority of Ibn Isḥāq. The tradition tells of a meeting between the Prophet and Zayd b. 'Amr b. Nufayl, one of the ḥunafā' in Mecca. During the meeting Zayd b. 'Amr was offered meat which he, however, refused to eat, arguing that he never ate meat sacrificed before idols
Al-Hira
The Market of the Prophet
The reasons given by the Arabic sources for the assassination of Ka'b b. al-Ashraf are that he stirred up the Meccans to fight the Prophet and to avenge their defeat at Badr, that he composed anti-Muslim verses defaming Muslim women or that he plotted with a group of Jews to kill the Prophet '). These reasons are also accepted or quoted in the works of scholars, analysing the attitude of the Prophet towards Ka'b b. al-Ashraf2)

Al-taḥannuth
The expressiontaḥannuthmentioned in some traditions in connexion with the first revelation of the Prophet was variously interpreted by Muslim philologists and commentators of ḥadīth. Several meanings have been attached to it by modern scholars. A re-examination of the material seems to give us a clue for elucidation of the meaning oftaḥannuthand the ideas connected with it. This may also be helpful towards understanding the circumstances of the '…

Notes on Three Arabic Manuscripts in the British Museum
1. MS Or. 7698, entitled Ādāb al-murīdīn , was attributed by A. G. Ellis and E. Edwards to ‘Ubaidullāh b. Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-'Azīz al-Samarqandā. The text begins on fol. 13a and is preceded in the MS by the ‘Ajā'ib al-qulūb of al-Samarqandī. A rather late note on the front page, by a hand different from that of the scribe of the two treatises, gives the contents of the MS as ‘ Risāla fī ‘ajā'ib al-qulūb li-'Ubaidillāh b. Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-'Azī…
‘A Booth Like the Booth of Moses …’ A Study of an Early Ḥadīth
The chapter about innovations in mosques in al-TurtŪshī's Kitāb al-hawādith wa-'l-bida‘ contains a remarkable tradition about the building of the mosque of the Prophet in Medina which deserves special attention. This tradition, not included in the orthodox collections of hadith , is of considerable importance: it seems to belong to a large body of early traditions omitted by later collectors of hadīth , and it may throw some light on an attitude …

The well known tradition in al-Bukhārī, told on the authority of al-Zuhrī—'Urwa— 'Ā'isha, about the conversation between the Prophet and Khadīja after he received his first revelation contains at the end a phrase variously interpreted by Muslim scholars and translated in modern times in various manners
