Maʿmar ibn Rāshid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abū ʿUrwa Maʿmar ibn Rāschid ( Arabic ابو عروة معمر بن راشد, DMG Abū ʿUrwa Maʿmar ibn Rāšid ; born 714 ; died 770 in Sanaa ) was a hadith scholar from Basra who later emigrated to Yemen and compiled a chapter-based collection of hadiths that became known under the title Kitāb al-Ǧāmiʿ .

Maʿmar was a client of the Arab tribe of the Azd and heard from Qatāda ibn Diʿāma and al-Aʿmash . Al-Jahiz assigned him to the Qadarīya . Seven or eight years before his death, Maʿmar emigrated to Yemen and settled there in Sanaa . There he became the most important teacher of the well-known Yemeni hadith scholar ʿAbd ar-Razzāq as-Sanʿānī (d. 827), who is known for his hadith collection with the title al-Muṣannaf . Harald Motzki found that 32 percent of the material in this collection of hadiths goes back to Maʿmar. Maʿmar's Kitāb al- Ǧāmiʿ did not survive independently, but only in this processing by ʿAbd ar-Razzāq.

Even Abdullah ibn Mubarak and Sufyan al-Thawri heard at Ma'mar. The latter is said to have traveled specifically to Yemen for this purpose. In order to prevent Maʿmar from leaving Yemen again, they should have married him.

Maʿmar was the earliest Muslim authority to teach Chidr to identify with the eschatological witness who is killed and then resuscitated by Jajal .
