Early Islamic Law in Basra in the 2nd/8th Century: Aqwal Qatadah b. Da'amah al-Sadusi

Overview

The manuscript of the Aqwal Qatada has repeatedly attracted particular interest among modern scholars, as it raises questions concerning the early development of the Ibadi Basran community and the emergence of Islamic jurisprudence in Iraq. They are a unique document because they attest to the existence of a scholarly link between Sunnis and Ibadis during the early development of Islamic law. The fact that the legal responses and traditions of Qatada b. Da'ama al-Sadusi (60/680-117/735) are part of an Ibadi collection, in which the traditions of Ibadi Imam Jabir b. Zayd (d.93/ 711) have been transmitted through Amr b. Harim and Amr b. Dinar, proves that the Ibadi lawyers of the first generations considered Qatada to be a faithful upholder of Jabir's doctrine. Given the lack of material available for Jabir, instructions must have been given to collect whatever was transmitted through Qatada. Qatada's legal responses must have corresponded to those of the first Ibadi authorities, thereby explaining why the collator of the Aqwal Qatada (probably Abu Ghanim al-Khurasani, who lived between the end of the 2nd/8th century and the first decades of the 3rd/9th century) included them in an Ibadi manuscript. This affinity is attested by brief annotations at the foot of Qatada's traditions and legal responses where the collator emphasises the fact that Qatada's opinion coincides with those of an Ibadi authority (al-Rabi , Abu Ubayda, Jabir). Abu Ghanim probably related the Aqwal from al-Rabi b. Habib, as proved by the expression wa-haddathani bi-hadha al-Rabi , which we find on occasion in the manuscripts. Thus explains why the Aqwal preserves also responsa from al-Rabi (II, III, IV part) and traditions related by al-Rabi from Abu Ubayda and Jabir (mainly in the I and II part).
