Life

Ibn Abī al-Dam was born in Ḥamāt under Ayyūbid rule on 29 July 1187.Шаблон:Sfn He studied in Baghdad, the capital of the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate; taught in the Ayyūbid cities of Ḥamāt, Aleppo and Cairo; and was in 1225 appointed qāḍī (chief judge) of Ḥamāt. In his own writings, he insists that he played no role in the coming to power of his patron, Emir al-Nāṣir Qilij Arslān, in 1221.Шаблон:Sfn

Ibn Abī al-Dam belonged to the Shāfiʿī school of jurisprudence (fiqh). Al-Muẓaffar II, who replaced al-Nāṣir as emir of Ḥamāt in 1229, sent him on a diplomatic mission to Baghdad in AH 641 (1243/1244). The following year, he was sent back to inform the Abbasid court of al-Muẓaffar's death. He fell ill with dysentery on the journey at al-Maʿarra and returned to Ḥamāt, where he died on the same day he entered the town, 18 November 1244.

Works

Ibn Abī al-Dam wrote several works in Arabic. His only preserved historical work, al-Shamārīkh min al-Taʾrīkh,Шаблон:Efn is a short annalistic history from the time of Muḥammad down to AH 628 (1230/31).Шаблон:Sfn It is found in at least two manuscripts: Oxford, Bodleian Library, ms. Marsh 60 (Uri 728) and Alexandria, Municipal Library, ms. 1292b. It is dedicated to al-Muẓaffar II.Шаблон:Sfn Ibn Abī al-Dam includes in it a copy of the diploma by which the Sultan al-Kāmil invested al-Muẓaffar with Ḥamāt. He defended the sultan's policy towards the Sixth Crusade, which resulted in the return of Jerusalem to crusader rule in 1229.Шаблон:Sfn

Ibn Abī al-Dam's other known work of history, a massive biographical dictionary in six volumes entitled al-Taʾrīkh al-Muẓaffarī, is lost. It is probably the "large history" (al-taʾrīkh al-kabīr) that he refers to in the Shamārīkh. It was written first and was dedicated to al-Muẓaffar at his accession in 1229.Шаблон:Sfn According to al-Sakhāwī's Iʿlān, it was arranged alphabetically beginning with "a biography of the Prophet, followed, successively, by the caliphs, philosophers-theologians, ḥadîṯ scholars, ascetics, grammarians, lexicographers, Qurʾân commentators, wazîrs, (army) leaders, and poets." Persons with the name Muḥammad were listed first and women last.Шаблон:Sfn

Besides his historical works, Ibn Abī al-Dam wrote commentaries on al-Ghazālī's Wasīṭ and Abū Isḥāq al-Shīrāzī's Tanbīh. His Tadqīq al-ʿināya fī taḥqīq al-riwāya is on the transmission of ḥadīth.Шаблон:Sfn He also wrote works on Islamic sects and the conduct of judges (adab al-qaḍāʾ). His legal opinions were discussed by Taqī al-Dīn and Tāj al-Dīn al-Subkī.Шаблон:Sfn

Excerpts

The following is the account in al-Shamārīkh of the siege of Damascus in 1229:

This year al-Malik al-Ašraf returned from Tall al-ʿAğūl and camped about Damascus at the beginning of Rabīʾ I, putting it under siege for [the months of] Rabīʾ and the two Ğumādā-s. The Sultan al-Malik al-Kāmil arrived and camped there, and there were many engagements, which are well-known, until the situation of the city's garrison became serious. There was nothing left for [[an-Nasir Dawud|al-Malik al-Nāsir Шаблон:Bracket]] but to throw himself on the mercy of the Sultan al-Malik al-Kãmil and to sue for his clemency. So he went out to meet him fearfully and fell to the ground before him and kissed his feet.Шаблон:Sfn
