The Complete Revival of Abaqat al-Anwar after One Hundred and Fifty Years of Waiting

Article Type: Research

Authors: Mahdi Esfandiyari; Ruhollah Kazemi

Abstract:

The Theological-Jurisprudential School of Lucknow in the era of conflict and confrontation of sects, with a multitude of thinkers and countless scientific heritage, has had a significant role in promoting Imamiyyah culture throughout the subcontinent, rather beyond that in other Islamic lands. Meanwhile, “Abaqat al-Anwar fi Imamat al-A’immat al-Athar” by Allamah Mir Hamid Husayn (may mercy be upon him) as the “Greatest Proof of the Sect,” has created a turning point among Imamate-researching thinkers, and with a straight and correct, renowned and enduring method, and the expansion and progress of the knowledge of Imamate because of it, appears peerless. Regrettably, despite the efforts formed in these long years and considering the unique literature, significant volume, content diversity, and difficulty in finding its manuscripts and sources, its revival did not take place and “we still do not have the printed [edition] of the book of Abaqat with this greatness.” Until, by Divine favors, the Secretariat of the International Congress Commemorating Allamah Mir Hamid Husayn (may mercy be upon him) girded the loin of effort to produce a comprehensive and technical research, and brought this important [task] to fruition after many ups and downs along with a bank of images of manuscripts, based on a single manual and by the effort of a generation of young researchers under the supervision of masters of the craft, and realized the long-standing wish of scholars and concerned individuals. Today, all that from this great work which had the capability of correction and research, has been adorned with the ornament of print in 37 volumes and has attracted the praise of the people of craft and specialists to itself.

Researcher’s Introduction to the Revival of Hadith al-Wilayah in ʿAbaqāt al-Anwār

 Hadith al-Wilayah is the third hadith that ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dihlawī addressed in Chapter Seven of the book Tuḥfah-yi Ithnā ʿAshariyyah. Since this hadith is one of the explicit texts proving the immediate succession and Imamate of Amīr al-Muʾminīn (peace be upon him), he found no alternative but to deny and invalidate it.

A Brief Survey of the Ḥadīth of Ghadīr in ʿAbaqāt al‑Anwār

Despite the many discussions surrounding the Ḥadīth of Ghadīr throughout history, before the writing of ʿAbaqāt al‑Anwār one cannot find a work that has addressed all aspects of this ḥadīth in detail and responded to the various objections of the Sunnīs regarding its chain (isnād) and implication (dalāla). Indeed, the efforts of ʿAllāma Mīr Ḥāmid Ḥusayn al‑Hindī were not limited to responding to the objections of ʿAbd al‑ʿAzīz al‑Dehlawī; rather, by tracing the roots of the doubts, he used Dehlawī’s statements as a basis for presenting and critiquing the statements of earlier Sunnī scholars, leaving behind a comprehensive and solid work. May Allah have mercy upon him and grant him a good abode.
Notes

Re-examining the “Manhaj of the Verses” in ʿAbaqāt al-Anwār

Among the different sections of ʿAbaqāt al-Anwār, its “First Manhaj” holds a fundamental position in explaining the question of Imamate. This section, commonly known by the title “Verses,” may at first appear to be devoted solely to examining the verses that indicate Imamate; however, a more careful study of the structure of ʿAbaqāt shows that this understanding is incomplete and, to some extent, incorrect.
