Ibn Bashkuwāl , he was Khalaf ibn'Abd al-Malik ibn Mas'ud ibn Musa ibn Bashkuwāl, Abū'l-Qāsim (خلف بن عبد الملك بن مسعود بن موسى بن بشكوال, أبو القاسم Ḫalaf b.'Abd al- Malik b. Mas'ūd b. Mūsā b., Baškuwāl, Abū'l-Qāsim}}, born September 1101 in Córdoba; died 5 January 1183 in Sarrión) was an influential Andalusian traditionist and biographer working in Córdoba and Sevilla.

Life

His ancestors were of Spanish origin - he became known as Ibn Bashkuwāl, son of Pasqual - in the region of Valencia. His first teacher was his father (d. 1139), to whom he dedicates a section in his biographical work. He studied with the most famous scholars of his time: Ibn al-'Arabī al-Ma'āfirī and the lawyer Abūl-Walīd ibn Ruschd (died 1126), the grandfather of the philosopher Averroës. In his hometown he worked as a consulting lawyer (faqīh mušāwar) [1] and for a short time as deputy Qādī in Seville under Ibn al-'Arabī. It appears he never travelled to the East and his scholarship derived from the Andalusian-Islamic tradition. His biographer Ibn Abbār (d. Jan 1260) Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag His library held works by authors from the Islamic East; of which is the K. as-Siyar from Abū Ishāq al-Fazārī, on whose title page he is documented as the owner of the work. [2]

He died in January 1183 and was buried in the cemetery known then as Ibn 'Abbās Scholars’ Cemetery in Córdoba[3]

Works

Ibn Bashkuwāl’s biographers attributed him authorship of twenty-six known books, treatises and monographs of biographical content,[4] and cited a list of his teachers, and the writings he studied with them. [5] Only a few of his works have survived:

  • Aṣ-ṣila fī ta'rīḫ a'immat al-Andalus (الصلة في تاريخ أئمة الأندلس), ‘Continuation of the scholarly history of al-Andalus’; continuation of one of the most famous scholar biographies of Islamic Spain of Ibn al-Faraḍī (d. 1013) [6] in which he arranged, alphabetically, the biographies of a total of 1541 [7]Andalusian scholars from the 11th and 12th centuries. In a dedicated chapter (faṣl) he presents the life of the so-called "strangers" (al-ghurabā), who came to al-Andalus from the Orient and Ifrīqiya. [8]
    • Ibn al-Abbār (1199-1260) from Valencia[9] wrote the supplement (Takmilat K. as-ṣila) and filled some gaps found in the original work. In the first volume he wrote a detailed biography of Ibn Baškuwāl. [10]
    • Another supplement and continuation of Ibn Baškuwāl's work was written by Ibn az-Zubair al-Gharnāṭī (1230, Jaén (Jayyān) – 1309, Granada (Gharnāṭa)) [11] entitled ilat aṣ-ṣila (the continuation of the ṣila) or: the story of the scholars of al-Andalus, in which he (the author) of the Kitāb aṣ-ṣila continued by Ibn Baškuwāl.[12] This book deals with the Andalusian scholars of the 12th and 13th centuries. A fragment of the work was published by the French Orientalist Évariste Lévi-Provençal in 1937 (Rabat). Three further volumes with corrections and additions to the first edition were published in 1993 (Rabat).[13]
  • ‘’ Kitāb ġawāmiḍ al-asmā' al-mubhama al-wāqi'a fī-'l-aḥādīṯ al-musnada’’ (كتاب غوامض الأسماء المبهمة الواقعة في الأحاديث المسندة ) , ‘Secrets of indistinct names found in Hadiths with complete Isnads’; two-volume biographical compilation and explanation of personal names, names of ancestry contradictorily, or incorrectly, reported in the literature. [14]
  • ‘’ Shuyūḥ'Abd Allāh ibn Wahb al-Qurashī’’ (شيوخ عبد الله بن وهب القرشي ), ‘Teachers of 'Abd Allāh ibn Wahb al-Qurashī’; compilation of teachers' biographies of the Egyptian scholar 'Abdallāh ibn Wahb in alphabetical order, [15] with rich information about its importance as primary sources of Ibn Wahb. The book ends with a detailed account of Ibn Wahb's Life. [16]
  • ‘’ Kitāb al-mustaġīṯīn bi-lāhāb’’ (كتاب المستغيثين بالله ), ‘The book of (over) the seekers for help with God’; assembled hadith with complete isnād traditions containing the Holy Du'ā ' (intercessions)[17] Ibn Baschkuwāl draws on this work to thirteen works whose title and author he specifies. [18] At the beginning of this collection, as an example, the intercession of the Prophet Muḥammad in the Battle of Badr and is linked to the Qur’ān verse:

{= Quote} When you called your Lord for help! Then he heard you (and frowned): I will assist you with a thousand angels ... | author =Sura 8, verse 9 | source = translation: Rudi Paret}}
