History of Al-Tabari #9

تاریخ طبری، جلد نهم

Rate this book
This volume deals with the last two and a half years of the Prophet's life. In addition to the three major expeditions to Hunanyn, Ta'if, and Tabuk, it describes in detail the circumstances surrounding the illness from which he died and the subsequent crisis of leadership faced by the nascent Muslim community. The author depicts with admirable fairness all the various opinions and divisions that existed within the community. He also presents a vivid picture of the Prophet's physical appearance, his personal life, and his marriages. Among other topics discussed in this volume are all the deputations that came to Medina; a summary of all the expeditions and raiding parties; and his scribes, freedmen, horses, camels, goats, swords, coats of mail, and so on. It also covers the apostasy of Musaylimah, Aswad, and Tulhahah and the Prophet's attempts to deal with them.

The translation not only preserves the original lively flavor of al-Tabari but also, in its annotations, draws extensively on both parallel Arabic sources and the intensive research of recent years. Readers who seek a deeper understanding of the Prophet's personality and of the reasons for antagonisms engendered among various factions will find this volume most informative.

About the author

Muhammad Ibn Jarir Al-Tabari

84 books48 followers
Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (224 – 310 AH; 839 A.D–923 A.D) was a prominent and influential Persian scholar, historian and exegete of the Qur'an from Tabaristan, modern Mazandaran in Iran. Even if today he's better known for his expertise in Islamic sciences (Qur'anic commentary and law) or history, he has been described as "an impressively prolific polymath. He wrote on such subjects as poetry, lexicography, grammar, ethics, mathematics, and medicine."

His most influential and best known works are his Qur'anic commentary known as Tafsir al-Tabari and his historical chronicle Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk (History of the Prophets and Kings), often referred to Tarikh al-Tabari. Al-Tabari founded his own madhhab which is usually designated by the name Jariri.

"Ibn Humayd-Salamah Ibn Ishaq 'Āşim b. 'Umar b. Qatādah-Mahmûd b. Labīd-Abū Sa'id al-Khudri: When the Messenger of God had distributed those gifts among Quraysh and the Bedouin tribes, and the Anşār got nothing from it, this group of Anşar took [the matter] to their hearts and talked volubly about it until one of them said, "By God, the Messenger of God has joined his kinsfolk!" Sa'd b. 'Ubadah went to the Messenger of God and said, "O Messenger of God, this group of Anşar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among your own people, and by giving great gifts to the Bedouin tribes while this group of Anşar got nothing." He said, "Where do you stand in this matter, O Sa'd?" He said, "I stand with my kinsfolk." The Prophet said, "Then gather your people in [this] enclosure." Sa'd went out and did so, and when a number of the Muhajirun came, he allowed some to come in and sent back the others. When all of them had assembled, he went and informed the Prophet, who came to them. After due praise and exaltation of God, he addressed them saying: "O community of Anşar, what is this talk I hear about you? [What is] the grudge you have harbored in your hearts [against me]? Did I not come to you when you were erring and God guided you; [were you not] needy and then made rich by God; [were you not] enemies and [did not] God reconcile your hearts?" They answered, "Yes indeed, God and His Messenger are gracious and kind." He said, "Why do you not answer me (directly), O Anşar?" They said, "What shall we answer you, O Messenger of God? Kindness and graciousness belong to God and His Messenger." He said: "Now then, by God, had you wished you could have said and you would have spoken the truth and have been accepted as truthful-'You came to us (when your message) was rejected [by the Quraysh] and we believed in you; [you were] forsaken and we assisted you; [you were] evicted and we sheltered you; [you were] needy and we comforted you.' O Anşar, you harbor a grudge [against me] because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people so that they may embrace Islam, while I entrust you to your Islam. Are you not pleased, O Anşar, that people should take away sheep and camels while you go back to your homes with the Messenger of God By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, were it not for the migration (hijrah), I would have been one of the Ansar myself. If all the people went one way and the Anşar another, I would take the way of the Anşar. Ο God, have mercy on the Anşar, their sons and their sons' sons!" The people wept until the tears ran down their beards and said that they were pleased with the Messenger of God as their lot and good fortune. Then the Messenger of God departed and they dispersed.

تاریخ الرسل و الملوک یا تاریخ الامم والملوک، معروف به تاریخ طبری در اصل توسط محمدبن جریر طبری، تاریخ نگار و محقق ایرانی در اواخر سده سوم هجری به زبان عربی نوشته شده. این کتاب که مهم ترین مجموعه ی تاریخ عمومی جهان اسلام است، از داستان خلقت آغاز کرده و به نقل زندگی پیامبران (به روایت اسلامی) و پادشاهان قدیم ایران پرداخته، و پس از وقایع دوران ساسانی، به نقل زندگی پیامبر اسلام، اهل بیت، نقل تاریخ اسلامی تا سال تنظیم کتاب (۲۹۳ هجری ) گریز زده است. کتاب که در اصل ۱۶ جلد بوده، از آن پس منبع بسیاری از وقایع نگاران پس از طبری بوده. تاریخ طبری را ابوعلی بلعمی به فارسی ترجمه و خلاصه کرده و از خود مطالبی به آن افزوده و تغییراتی در آن داده، به گونه ای که ترجمه ی فارسی طبری، تألیفی تازه محسوب می شود و گاه با نام "تاریخ بلعمی" از آن نام می برند. تاریخ طبری را "ابوالقاسم پاینده" در 1352 ترجمه و بی هیچ تغییر، در همان 16 جلد، منتشر کرده است. ترجمه ی دیگری هم توسط صادق نشات صورت گرفته که بنگاه ترجمه و نشر کتاب در 1351منتشر کرده است.

در کتاب نهم به وقایع سالهای هشتاد و پنج تا صد و هجده پرداخته شده. از آنجا که ایران تقریبا کانون همه حوادث این دوره است، اهمیت این کتاب بیشتر جلوه می کند.

Quite a good read and surprising even in it's frankness with regards to some of the actions of Muhammad and early Islam!

تاریخ الرسل و الملوک یا تاریخ الامم و الملوک معروف به تاریخ طبری کتابی است به زبان عربی که توسط محمد بن جریر طبری تاریخ‌نگار و پژوهش‌گرِ ایرانی مسلمان در اواخر سده سوم پس از هجرت به رشته تحریر درآمده‌است و یکی از بزرگترین و معتبرترین منابع دوره اسلامی است. طبری نویسندهٔ مشهورترین، مهم‌ترین و ارزشمندترین مجموعه‌های مفصل تاریخ عمومی اسلام و جهان به‌شمار می‌آید. این کتاب، تاریخ را از زمان خلقت شروع کرده و سپس به نقل داستان پیامبران و پادشاهان قدیمی می‌پردازد. در بخش بعدی کتاب طبری به نقل تاریخ پادشاهان ساسانی می‌پردازد، و از آنجا به نقل زندگی پیامبر اسلام، محمد می‌پردازد. در این کتاب وقایع پس از شروع تاریخ اسلامی (مقارن با هجرت به مدینه) به ترتیب سال تنظیم شده و تا سال ۲۹۳ هجری شمسی را در بر می‌گیرد.

تاریخ طبری شامل دو بخش کلی است:

تاریخ پیش از اسلام: بخش پیش از اسلام مشهورترین، مهم‌ترین قسمت آن است و نویسنده این بخش از کتاب را پس از پایان تفسیر طبری تألیف نمود.
پس از اسلام: در تاریخ پس از اسلام این کتاب، نویسنده وقایع را به صورت وقایع نگاری نقل می‌کند. این بخش (پس از اسلام) خود مشتمل بر سه بخش جداگانه دیگر است.
نکته در خور توجه این است که طبری از چه سالی شروع به نوشتن کتاب‌های خود کرده‌است ؟ برخی می‌گویند که او در سال ۲۱۰ ه‍.ق شروع به تحریر کتاب خود کرده‌است و برخی روایت‌ها حاکی از آن است که طبری بخش تاریخ عباسیان را در کتاب جداگانه‌ای به نام القطعین تألیف کرده‌است و این خود نشان دهنده این است که طبری تاریخ خود را فقط تا پایان دوره عباسیان نوشته‌است.
