Английская Википедия:Akhu Muhsin
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Abu'l-Husayn Muhammad ibn Ali (Шаблон:Lang-ar), better known by his nickname Akhu Muhsin (Шаблон:Lang),Шаблон:Sfn was a 10th-century anti-Isma'ili writer.
Himself of Alid descent, Akhu Muhsin lived in Damascus,Шаблон:Sfn and was one of the first writers interested in Alid genealogy.Шаблон:Sfn Based to a large degree on the previous anti-Isma'ili tract of Ibn Rizam, which now survives only in fragmentary form, he composed his own treatise against the Fatimid Caliphate and their Isma'ili adherents Шаблон:Circa.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It too does not survive but in fragments, incorporated in the works of the later historians al-Nuwayri, Ibn al-Dawadari, and al-Maqrizi.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
From the fragments, it appears that Akhu Muhsin's work contained separate parts dealing with history and doctrine.Шаблон:Sfn However, already al-Maqrizi condemned both Akhu Muhsin and Ibn Rizam as unreliable.Шаблон:Sfn Indeed, the work introduced extensive quotations from an anonymous tract, the Kitāb al-siyāsa ("Book of Methodology" or "Book of the Highest Initiation"), which purported to be an Isma'ili work describing methods of winning new converts and initiating them into the secrets of the Isma'ili doctrine. Its fabricated content was tailored to justify the rejection of the Isma'ilis as antinomian atheists and libertines, and ensured it a long existence as the main source for "several generations of polemicists and heresiographers" targeting the Isma'ilis.Шаблон:Sfn Ibn Rizam and Akhu Mahsin's account thus "provided the basis for most subsequent Sunni writing", notably the public denunciation of the Fatimids in the Baghdad Manifesto of 1011, sponsored by the Abbasid caliph al-Qadir.Шаблон:Sfn Their work thus became the accepted version outside the Isma'ili community, not only on Isma'ili doctrine, but also on the origins of the Isma'ili movement, including in Western scholarly circles, until the start of a more critical evaluation of the historical sources in the 20th century.Шаблон:Sfn
