1 Ibn Ḥanbal haqida "haqiqiy musulmon shaxslarni shakllantirish uchun ajralmas manba va resurs" sifatida qarash uchun qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 231–71 (iqtibos 237-betda).

1 On Ibn Ḥanbal as “an indispensable authority and resource for the fashioning of authentically Muslim selves,” see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 231–71 (quote at 237).

Bu eng keng tarqalgan harakatlanish usuli (al-Dhahabī, Al-Mushtabih, 491), garchi al-Muʿaddil ham mumkin bo‘lsa-da (Ibn Ḥajar, Tabṣīr, 1299). Ushbu ildiz va uning hosilalarining ma’nolari haqida Tyan, “ʿAdl” va keltirilgan manbalarga qarang.

2 This is the most common voweling (al-Dhahabī, Al-Mushtabih, 491) though al-Muʿaddil is also possible (Ibn Ḥajar, Tabṣīr, 1299). For the meanings of this root and its derivatives, see Tyan, “ʿAdl” and sources cited.

3-misol. Oldingi zanjir bilan kesishadigan yangi rivoyat zanjirining boshlanishi ba'zan "ḥā'" harfi bilan ko'rsatiladi. Qo'llanish izchil bo'lmagani uchun uni takrorlamadim.

3 The beginning of a new chain of transmitters that will intersect with the previous one is sometimes indicated by the letter ḥāʾ. As the usage is inconsistent, I have not duplicated it.

4 Boshqa manbalarda tasdiqlanmagan, ammo Hamadon yaqinidagi Mihrawān hududiga nisbat berilgan Mihrāwī varianti bo‘lishi mumkin (al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb, 5:415). Al-Turkiy uni keng tarqalgan al-Harawī (Hirotlik) shakliga tuzatadi.

4 Not otherwise attested but possibly a variant of Mihrāwī, “of Mihrawān,” a region near Hamadhān (al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb, 5:415). Al-Turkī emends to the more common al-Harawī (of Herat).

5. Xurosон viloyatining o‘sha paytdagi poytaxti. Marv, hozir Mary deb ataladigan shahar, bugun G‘arbiy-markaziy Turkmanistondagi shahar.

5 The capital of what was then the province of Khurasan. Marv, now called Mary, is today a city in west-central Turkmenistan.

6 “To‘liq qonli” degani, u qabilaga tug‘ilish orqali a’zo bo‘lgan, ya’ni qabila a’zosi bilan homiylik munosabatiga kirish orqali emas, bu esa ba’zi arab bo‘lmagan islomni qabul qilganlar tomonidan qilinardi (garchi avvalgi tasavvurlarga ko‘ra bu kamroq uchrasa ham). Qarang: Bernards va Nawas, eds., Patronate, xususan Bulliet, “Conversion-Based Patronage,” 246–62.

6 “Full-blooded” means that he was born into the tribe, as opposed to joining it by entering into a patronage relationship with one of its members, as non-Arab converts to Islam sometimes did (though far less commonly than previously thought). See Bernards and Nawas, eds., Patronate, esp. Bulliet, “Conversion-Based Patronage,” 246–62.

Ibn Ḥanbal’ning ajdodlari Arabistondan kelib, yangi tashkil topgan Basra shahriga joylashgan, so‘ngra arab fath etishlari bilan sharqqa ko‘chib, Marvda o‘rnashgan.

7 Ibn Ḥanbal’s ancestors had come from Arabia and settled in the newly founded city of Basra, then moved east with the Arab conquests and settled in Marv.

8 Abbosiylar imperiyasining yirik viloyati. Unga bugungi shimoli-sharqiy Eron, shimoliy Afg'oniston, janubiy Turkmaniston va janubiy O'zbekiston hududlari kirgan.

8 A major province of the Abbasid Empire. It included the regions today called northeastern Iran, northern Afghanistan, southern Turkmenistan, and southern Uzbekistan.

9. Eron va Turkmaniston chegarasida, hozirgi kunda chegara bo'ylab joylashgan shahar. Zamonaviy shahar Eron tomonida joylashgan.

9 A town that lay on what is today the border between Iran and Turkmenistan. The modern town is on the Iranian side.

750-yillarda Abbosiylar sulolasini hokimiyatga olib kelgan inqilob 740-yillarda Xuroson'da boshlangan. Unga qo'shilganlar va ularning avlodlari yangi tuzum davrida alohida imtiyozlardan foydalanganlar.

10 The revolution that brought the Abbasid dynasty to power began in the 740s in Khurasan. Those who joined it, and their descendants, enjoyed particular privileges under the new regime.

Ibn Ḥanbal ning amakisi Isḥoq keyinroq bu bog‘liqlikka murojaat qilgan bo‘lsa-da, bu, aftidan, “Ibn Ḥanbal uchun o‘zi uchun hech narsani anglatmagan” edi (Cook, Commanding Right, 111).

Though Ibn Ḥanbal’s uncle Isḥāq was later to invoke this connection, it evidently “meant nothing to Ibn Ḥanbal himself” (Cook, Commanding Right, 111).

11 Zulqarnayn — Qur'onda zikr qilingan shaxs bo'lib (Qur'on, Kahf surasi, 18:83 va davomi), uni ba'zan Aleksandr Makedonskiy bilan bir xil deb hisoblashadi. Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ oldindan sodir bo'ladigan voqealar haqida batafsil bilimga asoslangan holda shaxsiy maslahat bergan deb rivoyat qilingan hadislar umuman olganda keyinroq to'qilgan deb tan olingan; qarang: al-Turkiy, Manoqib, 2-nashr, 15-izoh 4.

11 Dhū l-Qarnayn is a figure in the Qurʾan (Q Kahf 18:83ff.) sometimes identified with Alexander the Great. Hadith reports in which the Prophet Muḥammad gives personal advice based on detailed knowledge of future events are generally agreed to be later fabrications; see al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 15n4.

12-izoh. Ibn Ḥanbalning nasabi va uning ijtimoiy ma'nolari haqida batafsil ma'lumot olish uchun qarang: Hurvitz, Formation, 27ff.; Cook, Commanding Right, 110–11. Boshqa manba, Ibn al-Dā'iy, Ibn Ḥanbalning boshqacha nasabini keltiradi: uni Zuhayr ibn Ḥurqūṣ qabilasiga mansub deb ataydi. Bu nasab uni Xörijiy Ḥurqūṣ ibn Zuhayr bilan, shuningdek, Xurqūsiyya deb ataladigan noma'lum mazhab vakillari bilan bog'lashga o'xshaydi. Ular Xudo haqida antropomorfik deb tanqid qilingan qarashni tutgan ko'rinadi (van Ess, Theologie, 3:449–51).

12 For discussion of Ibn Ḥanbal’s lineage and its social meanings, see Hurvitz, Formation, 27ff., and Cook, Commanding Right, 110–11. Another source, Ibn al-Dāʿī, gives a different lineage for Ibn Ḥanbal, calling him a member of the clan of Zuhayr ibn Ḥurqūṣ. This ancestry would appear to link him with the Khārijī Ḥurqūṣ ibn Zuhayr, as well as with an obscure group of sectarians called the Hurqūṣiyyah, who seem to have held a view of God denounced by critics as anthropomorphic (van Ess, Theologie, 3:449–51).

Bu payg'ambar Ibrohim.

13 This is the prophet Abraham.

14 Al-Turkī bu yerda mavzuni ʿAbd al-Malik deb biladi va matnni ʿalayhi va yuḍīfuhum shakliga keltirib tuzatadi:

14 Al-Turkī takes the subject here to be ʿAbd al-Malik and emends the text to ʿalayhi and yuḍīfuhum:

U bularga mehmondo'stlik ko'rsatardi. Garchi bu o'qilishi ancha ishonarli ko'rinsa ham, men SH va D nusxalarida uchraydigan ayol shakllarini saqlab qoldim va tarjimani shunga muvofiq berdim.

“He would show them hospitality.” Although this reading does seem more plausible, I have retained the feminine forms that appear in SH and D and translated accordingly.

15 “Bir ko‘zli Dijla” (dijlah al-ʿawrāʾ) — bu hozir Shatt al-Arab deb ataladigan suv yo‘lining qadimiy nomi bo‘lib, u yerda Dijla va Furot daryolari qo‘shilib, Fors ko‘rfaziga quyiladi. Ammo Shatt al-Arab Bag‘dod emas, Basra yonidan oqadi. Shuning uchun bu ibora oilaning ajdodlar yurti bo‘lgan Basradagi joyga ishora qilishi mumkin. Biroq matn mazmuni shuni ko‘rsatadiki, nazarda tutilgan joy Bag‘dodda bo‘lishi kerak, ehtimol Yuqori Port (Upper Harbor) bo‘lib, u yerda Ṭāhir ariqi Dijlaga qo‘shilgan (Cook, Commanding Right, 108n96 va Le Strange, Baghdad, map 5). Iroqning janubi-sharqidagi Maysān viloyatida Rijlat al-ʿAwrāʾ deb ataladigan joy ham bo‘lgan (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, ʿ-W-R).

15 The “One-Eyed Tigris” (dijlah al-ʿawrāʾ) is an old name for the waterway now called Shatt al- Arab, where the Tigris and Euphrates converge and empty into the Persian Gulf. But the Shatt al-Arab flows past Basra, not Baghdad. The reference may therefore be to the family’s ancestral home in Basra. Yet the context suggests that what is meant is a place in Baghdad, perhaps the Upper Harbor, where the Trench of Ṭāhir joined the Tigris (Cook, Commanding Right, 108n96, and Le Strange, Baghdad, map 5). A place in the southeastern Iraqi province of Maysān was called Rijlat al-ʿAwrāʾ (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, ʿ-W-R ).

16 Yoki: "u chiqqanda qanday yurishi qanchalik go'zal." 17 So'zma-so'z: "Men dīvonga qatnay boshladim", ehtimol kuryerlik va razvedka xizmatiga nazarda tutilgan bo'lib, uni uning amakisi boshqargan. Quyidagi xabarlar uning u yerda ishlashni istamaganligi xotiralarini aks ettirgan bo'lishi mumkin (Hurvitz, Formation, 30 va Melchert, Ahmad, 3). Dīvon, shuningdek, nafaqa oluvchi shaxslar ro'yxatini ham bildirishi mumkin; Ibn Ḥanbal, bobosining davlat xizmatlari sababli, o'sha ro'yxatda bo'lgan bo'lishi mumkin (Hurvitz, Formation, 27 va 170n12).

16 Or possibly “how well he carries himself when he goes out.” 17 Literally, “I began frequenting the dīwān,” perhaps the courier and intelligence service, which was headed by his paternal uncle. The following reports may represent memories of his unwillingness to work there (Hurvitz, Formation, 30, and Melchert, Ahmad, 3). Dīwān can also mean registry of persons entitled to a pension, which Ibn Ḥanbal might have been, given his grandfather’s service to the state (Hurvitz, Formation, 27 and 170n12).

18 Ṭāq: odatda "arka" degani, lekin bu yerda shubhasiz shelf (tokcha) bo‘lgan yoysimon o‘yiq; qarang: Anvarī, Farhang, ṭāqche va ṭāq (2) maqolalari, 3-ta ta’rif.

18 Ṭāq: usually “arch,” but here evidently an arched recess with a shelf in it; see Anvarī, Farhang, under ṭāqche and ṭāq (2), definition 3.

Ko'rinishidan, bu rasmiy kurerlar tomonidan kiyiladigan forma.

19 Evidently the uniform worn by official couriers.

20 Keyinchalik hayotida Ibn Hanbal davlat vakillaridan uzoqlashdi, buning sababi Abbosiylar sulolasini noqonuniy deb hisoblagani yoki ularning jamoat mablag'laridan foydalanishiga shubha bilan qaragani, yoki ikkalasi bo'lishi mumkin. Uning bolaligida ham shunday qarashda bo'lgani g'alati tuyuladi (Hurvitz, Formation, 42).

20 In later life, Ibn Ḥanbal shunned representatives of the state, either because he considered the Abbasid dynasty illegitimate, or because he questioned their use of public funds, or both. It seems odd for him to have held this view as a child (Hurvitz, Formation, 42).

21 Al-Turkiy punktuatsiyasiga qaraganda, u bu gapni “Men buni qilarmidim!” degan ma’noda tushunadi. 22 Qur’on, Baqara 2:156. Unda sabr qiluvchilar “Ularga musibat yetganda: “Biz Allohnikimiz va Unga qaytuvchimiz”, deydilar”, deb ta’riflanadi. 23 Tawarra‘ (bu yerda “shubhali ishlardan saqlanish” deb tarjima qilingan) aniqrog‘i, o‘zi joiz bo‘lgan, ammo bilmagan holda Xudoning amrlarini buzilishiga olib kelishi mumkin bo‘lgan ishlardan o‘zini tiyishni anglatadi. Ehtimol, Ibn Hanbal xabarlarni yetkazishni xohlamagan, chunki ularda nima yozilganini bilmagan, yoki u Abbosiylar hukumati vakillari bilan har qanday sababga ko‘ra aloqa qilish yomon, deb allaqachon ishongan bo‘lishi mumkin. Qarang: ushbu kitobning 49-bobi, shuningdek, Ibn Hanbal, Kitob al-Vara‘; Kinberg, “What is Meant by Zuhd”; Cooperson, Classical, 112–17.

21 To judge by his punctuation, al-Turkī takes this to mean “As if I would do that!” 22 Q Baqarah 2:156, which describes the long-suffering as “those who, when affliction strikes them, say, ‘We are of God and to Him we return.’” 23 Tawarraʿ, translated here as “to have scruples,” more specifically means to refrain from acts permitted in themselves but which might accidentally entail a violation of God’s commandments. Perhaps Ibn Ḥanbal does not want to deliver the dispatches because he does not know what is in them, or perhaps he had already come to believe that contact with representatives of the Abbasid regime for any reason was bad. See chapter 49 of this book, and further Ibn Ḥanbal, Kitāb al-Waraʿ; Kinberg, “What is Meant by Zuhd”; Cooperson, Classical, 112–17.

24 Ibn Ḥanbal, xuddi hozirgi arab tilida so‘zlashuvchilar kabi, o‘z yoshini nol emas, bir hisobidan sanagan, ingliz tilidagidek emas. Demak, bu yerda u ingliz tilida yigirma emas, balki o‘n to‘qqiz yoshda bo‘lar edi. Buni menga ko‘rsatgani uchun Omar Issa Attarga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

24 Ibn Ḥanbal, like present-day speakers of Arabic, counted his age from one instead of zero as one does in English. Here, then, he would be nineteen in English rather than twenty. I thank Omar Issa Attar for pointing this out to me.

Ushbu bobda va undan keyingi bir qancha boblarda juda ko'p shaxsiy ismlar uchraydi. Ko'p hollarda bular Ibn Hanbalning hadis ravoyatchilari hamkasblarining ismlaridir. Kitob oxiridagi asosiy shaxslar bo'limida eng ko'p takrorlanadigan va alohida ahamiyatga ega bo'lgan ismlar keltirilgan. Muayyan hikoyani tushunish uchun zarur bo'lgan asosiy ma'lumotlar esa izohlarda berilgan.

25 This and several subsequent chapters contain a great many personal names. In most cases, they are the names of Ibn Ḥanbal’s fellow Hadith-men. Recurring names of particular importance are listed in the key figures section at the end of the book. Background information essential to understanding a particular story is included in the notes.

26 Faqih Abu Yusuf (vaf. 182/798), Abu Hanifaning shogirdi, hukmlarini hadisga emas, balki ra'y (aql, hukm, fikr) ga asoslagan va Horun ar-Rashid davrida qozi bo'lib xizmat qilgan. Ushbu ikki jihatda — ra'ydan foydalanish va davlatga xizmat qilish — Abu Yusuf keyinchalik Ibn Hanbal ilgari surgan qarashlarga butunlay zid pozitsiyalarni egallagan. Shunday ekan, Ibn Hanbal yoshligida keyinroq bo'lganiga qaraganda ancha ochiqfikrroq bo'lgan ko'rinadi; hayotining keyingi davrida esa u Abu Yusuf bilan aloqasini yashirishga uringanga o'xshaydi (Hurvitz, Formation, 44–49).

26 The jurist Abū Yūsuf (d. 182/798), a disciple of Abū Ḥanīfah, based his verdicts on raʾy (reason, judgment, opinion) rather than Hadith and served as judge under al-Rashīd. In both these respects—use of raʾy and service to the state—Abū Yūsuf took positions entirely opposed to those later advocated by Ibn Ḥanbal. Ibn Ḥanbal thus appears to have been rather more openminded in his youth than he was to become in later life, when he evidently tried to downplay his association with Abū Yūsuf (Hurvitz, Formation, 44–49).

27-bobda, ingliz tilida bo‘lgani kabi, so‘zlovchilar sanalarni ko‘pincha qisqartiradilar. Ushbu bobda yetishmayotgan element doim 100 ga teng.

27 As in English, speakers often abbreviate dates. In this chapter, the missing element is always 100.

28 Bu yerda Ibn Ḥanbal mashhur hadis rivoyatchilarining vafot sanalaridan foydalanib, o‘z hayotidagi voqealarni sanalaydi. Vafot sanalari muhim edi, chunki ular A rivoyatchi B rivoyatchidan xabarlarni eshitishi mumkin bo‘lganmi yoki yo‘qmi, shuni aniqlashga yordam berardi.

28 Here Ibn Ḥanbal is using the death dates of well-known Hadith transmitters to date the events of his life. Death dates were important because they helped establish whether Transmitter A could have heard reports from Transmitter B.

29 Bu sarlavhalar muayyan mavzular bo‘yicha hadis rivoyatlari to‘plamlariga ishora qiladi, bu holda — janoza to‘g‘ri o‘tkazilishi va hajning marosimlarini to‘g‘ri bajarish haqida. Hushaym hadisni mavzulari bo‘yicha o‘qitishda o‘ziga xos bo‘lgan bo‘lishi mumkin (Melchert, Ahmad, 33). Janozalarning iymon jamoalari o‘rtasidagi chegaralarni belgilash uchun muhokama qilinadigan holatlar sifatida qaralishi haqida esa qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 238–62.

29 These titles refer to collections of Hadith reports on particular topics, in this case the proper conduct of funerals and the correct performance of the pilgrimage rites. Hushaym may have been unusual in his practice of teaching Hadith by category (Melchert, Ahmad, 33). On funerals as occasions for the negotiation of boundaries between faith communities, see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 238–62.

30-raqam. O‘rta yer dengizi sohilidagi shahar, hozirgi Turkiyaning janubi-sharqida joylashgan. Bu davrda u Vizantiya chegarasida yoki unga yaqin bo‘lgan va shu sababli zohidlarni (masalan, Ibn al-Mubārakni) hamda Vizantiyaga qarshi o‘zlarini sinab ko‘rmoqchi bo‘lgan boshqa musulmonlarni o‘ziga jalb qilgan.

30 A town near the Mediterranean coast in what is today southeastern Turkey. In this period, it lay on or near the Byzantine frontier, and thus attracted ascetics (such as Ibn al-Mubārak) and other Muslims who wished to prove themselves against the Byzantines.

Bu yerda keltirilgan yillar milodiy taqvim bo‘yicha 795–808 yillarga to‘g‘ri keladi.

31 The years referred to here correspond to 795–808 of the Gregorian calendar.

Namoz oxirida ko‘pchilik musulmonlar o‘ngga, so‘ngra chapga qarab, har safar al-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatu l-lāh (“sizlarga salom va Allohning rahmati bo‘lsin”) deb salom beradilar. Biroq ba’zilar buni faqat bir marta, o‘ngga qarab aytadilar; Ibn Hanbal bu odatni g‘ayritabiiy deb biladi.

32 At the end of the prayer, most Muslims turn to the right and then to the left, each time pronouncing the greeting al-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatu l-lāh (“peace be upon you and the mercy of God”). Some, however, say it only once, to the right, a practice that Ibn Ḥanbal finds unusual.

33 Kalām (so‘zlash, ya’ni “gapirish”) — ya’ni spekulativ ilohiyot bilan shug‘ullanish. Ibn Ḥanbal, hech bo‘lmasa o‘zining yetuk yillarida, bu amaliyotni qat’iy rad etgan (bu kitobning 13-bobiga qarang), garchi karerasining boshida unga nisbatan ko‘proq murosali bo‘lgan bo‘lishi mumkin (Hurvitz, Formation, 45ff.).

33 Practicing kalām (literally, “talking”), or speculative theology. Ibn Ḥanbal, at least in his mature years, roundly rejected the practice (see chapter 13 of this book), though he may have been more accepting of it early in his career (Hurvitz, Formation, 45ff.).

34 Hudbah ibn Khālid al-Qaysiy nomi (Ibn Hajar, Tabsir, 1451).

34 A name of Hudbah ibn Khālid al-Qaysī (Ibn Ḥajar, Tabṣīr, 1451).

35 Bu yerda variant matnda “Va men 95-yilda bordim” deb qo‘shilgan; qarang: al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2-nashr, 31n4.

35 Here a variant text adds “And I went in ’95”; see al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 31n4.

36 Bu yillar miloddan avvalgi emas, balki milodiy 802 yildan 815 yoki 816 yilgacha bo‘lgan davrga to‘g‘ri keladi.

36 These years correspond to the period AD 802 to 815 or 816.

37 Taxminan 950 kilometr yoki 590 mil masofa (http://www.mapcrow.info).

37 A distance of approximately 950 kilometers or 590 miles (http://www.mapcrow.info).

Bu rivoyat juda ochiq o‘ylab topilgan ko‘rinadi. Ibn Hanbalning dengizda sayohat qilgani, undan ham ko‘proq kemada halokatga uchragani haqida boshqa hech qanday manba yo‘q. Qadimgi tildan tarjima qilingan, deb ko‘rsatiladigan hikmatli yozuv (graffito) motivi ham o‘rta asr arab hikoyalarida keng tarqalgan (Crone va Moreh, Book of Strangers).

38 This report is an unusually transparent invention. There is no other reference to Ibn Ḥanbal’s traveling by sea, much less being shipwrecked. The topos of the gnomic graffito, often translated from an ancient language, is common in premodern Arabic tales (Crone and Moreh, Book of Strangers).

39 Ikki rakʿat yoki harakatlar va qiroatlar ketma-ketligi. Namozlar belgilangan sonli davrlardan (rakʿatlardan) iborat (Toorawa, “Prayer”).

39 Two rakʿahs or sequences of movements and recitations. Ritual prayers consist of specified numbers of cycles (Toorawa, “Prayer”).

40 "Ibrohim maqomi" – Makka shahridagi Ka'baning sharqiy devori yaqinidagi joy. An'anaga ko'ra, Ibrohim (alayhissalom) ibodatxonani qurib bo'lgach, devorlarning yuqori qismiga yetish uchun ishlatgan toshni o'sha joyda qoldirib, shu yerda namoz o'qigan. Bugun bu joyda turgan tosh gumbaz bilan o'ralgan.

40 The “station of Abraham,” a place near the eastern wall of the Kaaba in Mecca. According to tradition, Abraham prayed there after building the shrine, leaving the rock he had been using as a step-stool to reach the upper part of the walls. Today the rock that stands on the spot is enclosed by a cupola.

41 Niyyat qilish (ya'ni, niyyat) huquqiy jihatdan ahamiyatga ega amal bo'lib, masalan, kishi namoz o'qish niyatini (qalban) e'lon qilganda shunday bo'ladi.

41 Making a resolution (niyyah) is a legally meaningful act, as when, for example, one declares (mentally) one’s intention to pray.

Ya'ni, Ibn Sinān Ibn Hanbal nomidan mo'ynani sotdi va sotishdan tushgan pulni unga sarf-xarajat uchun berdi.

42 That is, Ibn Sinān sold the fur on Ibn Ḥanbal’s behalf and gave him the proceeds to use as spending money.

43 Ar-Raqqa — Furot daryosining yuqori oqimida joylashgan shahar bo‘lib, hozirgi Suriyaning sharqiy qismida joylashgan.

43 Al-Raqqah is a town on the upper Euphrates, located in what is now eastern Syria.

Jubbah ta'rifi: erkaklar va ayollar tomonidan kiyiladigan, kurtkaga o'xshash tashqi kiyim, sifatida belgilanadi va "tunika" deb tarjima qilinadi (Y. K.

44 Jubbah is defined as “a coat-like outer garment worn by both sexes” and translated “tunic” (Y. K.

Stillman, "Libās"). Keçadan tikilgan jubba, ehtimol, qichitqi va noqulay bo‘lgan bo‘lardi.

Stillman, “Libās”). A jubbah of felt would presumably have been scratchy and uncomfortable.

Keyingi qatorda ko'rsatilganidek, ba'zi javoblar, shubhasiz, ortiqcha so'zlar bilan to'ldirilgan edi.

As the next line suggests, some jubab were evidently padded.

45 Bu ism H da to‘liq unlilar bilan berilgan bo‘lsa-da, boshqa manbalarda tasdiqlanmagan. Bu al-ʿIrfīning variant shakli bo‘lishi mumkin, u esa tasdiqlangan; qarang: al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb 4:180; shuningdek qarang: al-Dhahabī, Al-Mushtabih, 357.

45 This name, though given fully voweled in H, is not otherwise attested. It may be a variant of al- ʿIrfī, which is attested; see al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb 4:180; cf. al-Dhahabī, Al-Mushtabih, 357.

46 Mudhākarah: ilmiy suhbat, ya’ni “ishtirokchilar o‘z bilimlarini bir-birlari va tinglovchilarning (agar bo‘lsa) foydasi uchun almashadigan o‘rgatuvchi suhbat”. Mudhākarah shuningdek bahsga aylanishi mumkin edi, bunda ishtirokchilar tinglovchilarning yoki bir-birlarining e’tirozlariga javob berar edilar (Makdisi, “Rise of Humanism,” 208–9; Schoeler, Genesis, 42).

46 Mudhākarah: the practice of “instructive conversation … in which the parties … exchanged their knowledge to their mutual benefit, as well as to that of the audience, if any.” A mudhākarah could also become a contest in which speakers would respond to challenges from the audience or from each other (Makdisi, “Rise of Humanism,” 208–9; Schoeler, Genesis, 42).

47 Sulaymon ibn Dovud ash-Shodhakuniy, shuningdek Ibn ash-Shodhakuniy deb ham ataladi; bu ism, ehtimol, "Yamanda to'qilgan ko'rpalar ustasi" degan ma'noni anglatadi (qarang: 45.4).

47 Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd al-Shādhakūnī, also called Ibn al-Shādhakūnī, a name apparently meaning “maker of Yemenī quilts” (see 45.4).

48 Ko‘rinishidan, Xalaf supa, skamya yoki zinapoyada o‘tirgan bo‘lib, Ibn Hanbal unga o‘sha yerda qo‘shilishi mumkin edi, yoki shunga o‘xshash biron-bir toshkor yoki mebel buyumida, lekin u yerda o‘tirishni xohlamay, yerda o‘tirdi.

48 It seems that Khalaf was sitting on a platform, bench, or stoop, and Ibn Ḥanbal could have joined him there, or on some corresponding item of masonry or furniture, but chose to sit on the ground.

49 Ushbu jumlaning birinchi qismi, shuningdek, "Men unga hadis rivoyatlarini nomladim va u ularga muqobil isnodlar taqdim etdi" degan ma'noni ham anglatishi mumkin. Ushbu parchadagi yordami uchun Christopher Melchert va Geert Jan van Gelderga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

49 The first part of this sentence may also mean “I named Hadith reports to him and he supplied them with alternative isnāds.” I thank Christopher Melchert and Geert Jan van Gelder for their help with this passage.

Ya'ni, Ibn Ḥanbal har bir rivoyatni eshitganda uning isnodini aytib bera olar edi, al-Mu'ayṭiy esa xato qilib qo'yishdan qo'rqib, buni urinib ko'rishga jur'at etmas edi. Ushbu parchani tarjima qilishda yordam bergani uchun Christopher Melchertga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

50 That is, Ibn Ḥanbal could provide the isnād of each report when he heard it, but al-Muʿayṭī was afraid to try for fear of making a mistake. I thank Christopher Melchert for improving my translation of this passage.

51 Daftar tarkibi (quire) — OED ta'rifi bo'yicha, "to'liq qo'lyozma yoki bosma kitobning bir qismini tashkil etuvchi har qanday yig'indi yoki varaqlar to'plami" — juz' so'zining ma'nosiga mos keladi deb hisoblash mumkin; juz' so'zi lug'aviy ma'noda "qism" demakdir, bu yerda esa, aniq ko'rinib turibdiki, keyinchalik boshqa shunga o'xshash ro'yxatlar bilan tikilib, bir jild hosil qilishi mumkin bo'lgan xabarlar ro'yxatini anglatadi.

51 A quire is “any gathering or set of sheets forming part of a complete manuscript or printed book” (OED), which seems a reasonable equivalent of juzʾ, literally “part,” here evidently meaning a list of reports that might later be sewn up with other similar lists to form a volume.

52 Bu, bir ḥimlni 266 kilogramm deb taxmin qilish asosida juda taxminiy hisoblangan; qarang: Ashtor, "Mawāzīn (1)." Ibn Ḥanbal 3225 kilogramm (7330 funt) qog'oz qoldirgan bo'lar edi.

52 Very conjecturally taking one ḥiml to be 266 kilograms; see Ashtor, “Mawāzīn (1).” Ibn Ḥanbal would have left 3225 kilograms (7330 pounds) of paper.

53 Men Christopher Melchert ushbu parchani mening o‘qishimni tekshirgani uchun minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

53 I thank Christopher Melchert for checking my reading of this passage.

54 Ibn Ḥanbal bu yerda kalām (“nutq, gapirish, kishining aytgani”) so‘zini hadisning mazmuni (matni) ma’nosida ishlatadi. Keyinroq paydo bo‘lgan texnik atama esa matn hisoblanadi.

54 Ibn Ḥanbal here uses kalām (“speech, talking, what someone says”) to refer to the content of a report. The (apparently later) technical term is matn.

Ya'ni, sochi hali oqarmagan kishi.

55 That is, one whose hair had not yet turned white.

56-izoh. Ibn Ḥanbal musulmonlar bilan musulmon bo‘lmaganlar o‘rtasidagi chegarani nazorat qilishda qanday xizmat qilgani haqida qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 242–55.

56 On how Ibn Ḥanbal served to police the boundary between Muslims and non-Muslims, see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 242–55.

57 Mening bu parchamni tarjimam Devin Stewart bilan shaxsiy yozishmamga asoslangan.

57 My translation of this passage is based on a personal communication from Devin Stewart.

58 Ibn ʿAqīl (vafoti 513/1119) hanbaliy mazhabining mashhur faqihi va mutakallimi edi. Ushbu bobning qolgan qismi unga nisbat berilgan so‘zlardan iborat bo‘lib, ularni Ibn al-Javziy aniqlanmagan yozma asardan ko‘chirgan ko‘rinadi.

58 Ibn ʿAqīl (d. 513/1119) was a famous jurist and theologian of the Ḥanbalī school. The remainder of this chapter consists of remarks attributed to him, evidently copied by Ibn al-Jawzī from an unidentified written work.

Bu paragrafni menga Joseph Lowry mehribonlik bilan tarjima qilib bergan.

59 This paragraph was kindly translated for me by Joseph Lowry.

60 Ibn Ḥanbal shunday asoslaydi: ikki marta yarim yalang'och holatda (chordana) emas, balki oyoqda tavof qilish, to'rt oyoqda bajarilgan bitta tavofga teng keladi.

60 Ibn Ḥanbal reasons that two circumambulations on foot are equivalent to one performed on all fours.

Ya'ni, uning qo'shiqchilik qobiliyati tufayli qo'shilgan o'sha qiymat miqdori uchun u javobgar bo'lmaydi.

61 That is, he would not be liable for that amount of her value added because of her ability to sing.

Ibn Ḥanbal shu prinsipni g'asb (bosib olish) holatlariga murojaat qilib asoslagandan so'ng, uni meros masalasiga ham qo'llaydi. Ushbu parchaning tarjimasi va izohi Devin Stewart va Joseph Lowry bilan shaxsiy muloqotlarga asoslangan.

Having established this principle by referring to cases of usurpation, Ibn Ḥanbal applies it to a case of inheritance. The translation and explanation of this passage are based on personal communications from Devin Stewart and Joseph Lowry.

62-bo'lim. Maqtovga loyiq xislatlarni baholashda ghaḍḍa min odatda "kamsitmoq", "past nazar bilan qarash" ma'nosini anglatadi, ammo bu ma'no qabul qilinsa, jumla Ibn al-Jawziy aytmoqchi bo'lgan narsaning aksini bildirar edi. Ko'chirувchilar ham ma'noni aniq tushunmaganga o'xshaydi. Al-Turkiy punktuatsiya yordamida ritorik savol ekanligini ko'rsatib, muammoni hal qilishga urinadi. Biroq texnik jihatdan bu biror so'roq yuklamasini talab qilar edi. Men Tahera Qutbuddinga minnatdorman, u fe'lni "nigohni olib qochmoq" degan haqiqiy ma'noda tushunishni taklif qildi. 63-bo'lim. Yazid Hajjojga ergashib, qarz beruvchi o'z mulkidan foyda kutmasdan voz kechganligi sababli (xuddi uni sotgan yoki qarzga bergan holatdagidek) buyum yo'qolsa yoki buzilsa, uning o'rnini qoplash huquqi yo'q deb hisoblaydi, ko'rinib turibdi. Ibn Hanbal bu nazarda tutilgan dalilga javob bermaydi, aksincha, Payg'ambarga ﷺ nisbat berilgan boshqa qarashni keltiradigan hadisni tilga oladi. Ushbu parchaning tarjimasi va izohi Joseph Lowry bilan shaxsiy yozishmalarga asoslangan.

62 In assessments of merit, ghaḍḍa min normally means “to disparage,” but if this meaning is adopted the sentence would mean the opposite of what Ibn al-Jawzī clearly intends to say. The copyists also seem to have been unsure of the sense. Al-Turkī tries to solve the problem by using punctuation to indicate a rhetorical question. Technically, however, this would require an interrogative particle of some kind. I am grateful to Tahera Qutbuddin for suggesting that the verb be understood in the literal sense of “avert one’s eyes.” 63 Yazīd, following Ḥajjāj, evidently thinks that the lender, by giving up his property without expectation of profit (as would be the case if he had sold or lent it) has no right to be compensated if the item is lost or destroyed. Ibn Ḥanbal does not respond to the implied argument but instead cites a Hadith attributing to the Prophet a different view. The translation and explanation of this passage are based on a personal communication from Joseph Lowry.

64 Al-ʿirq al-madīnī: qadimdan ma’lum bo‘lgan va hozirgacha Afrikaning bir necha mamlakatlarida endemik bo‘lib qolayotgan parazitar kasallik. Ginea chuvalchangining lichinkalari ifloslangan suv orqali organizmga kiradi va chuvalchang oyoq yoki to‘piqdan chiqayotganda og‘riqli pufakcha hosil qiladi (Wikipedia, “Dracunculiasis”, kirish sanasi: 2013-yil 5-may, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculiasis).

64 Al-ʿirq al-madīnī: a parasitic infection known since antiquity and still endemic in a few countries in Africa. The guinea worm, whose larvae enter the body through contaminated water, causes a painful blister as it emerges from the leg or foot (Wikipedia, “Dracunculiasis,” accessed May 5, 2013, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculiasis).

65-son. Ushbu qisqa iboralar Yazīd Ibn Ḥanbalni ziyorat qilgan paytda, u Vosit shahridan Bag'dodga qaytib kelganidan keyin kelgan, deb ko'rsatadi. "Tashqarida" degani bilan Ibn Ḥanbal Ḥarbiyya tumanidan tashqarini nazarda tutgan bo'lishi mumkin; Ḥarbiyya Bag'dodning shimoliy-g'arbiy qismidagi tuman bo'lib, uning oilasi shu yerda yashagan.

65 These telegraphic phrases suggest that Yazīd came to visit Ibn Ḥanbal after the latter had moved from Wāsiṭ back to Baghdad. By “outside,” Ibn Ḥanbal may mean outside Ḥarbiyyah, the northwest Baghdad district where his family was based.

66 Arwaʿ: ehtiyotkorlik bilan shubhalardan saqlanish, ya'ni o'z-o'zidan ruxsat etilgan, lekin harom yoki ifloslik manbai bilan bog'liqligi gumon qilinadigan narsalar yoki ishlar, masalan, daromad manbai noma'lum bo'lgan kishidan kelgan oziq-ovqat yoki pul sovg'asi (Cooperson, Classical, 112–17).

66 Arwaʿ: more careful in avoiding shubuhāt, that is, things or actions permissible in themselves, but dubious by association with a suspected source of illegality or pollution, for example, a gift of food or money from someone whose source of income is unknown (Cooperson, Classical, 112– 17).

67 “Din va adolatni tiklovchi, musulmonlarning keng tarqalgan e’tiqodiga ko‘ra, dunyo tugashidan oldin hukmronlik qiladigan shaxs” (Madelung, “Mahdī”).

67 “The restorer of religion and justice who, according to a widely held Muslim belief, will rule before the end of the world” (Madelung, “Mahdī”).

68 Dengiz, ehtimol, bilimning mashhur dengizidir. Demak, Ibn Ḥanbal dengiz jonzodi, garchi u quruqlikda yursa ham. Boshqa rivoyatda esa u quruqlik hayvoni bo‘lib, xuddi baliqdek bo‘lishi ham mumkin.

68 The sea is apparently the proverbial sea of knowledge. Ibn Ḥanbal is therefore a sea creature, albeit one who walks on land. In the other version, he is a land animal that may as well be a fish.

69-misol. Bu kam ma'lum shaxs bo'lib, uning mavjudligi ehtimol ismlardagi chalkashlik tufayli o'ylab topilgan. Bu yerda uni eslatilishi shundan iboratki, unga "Men Payg'ambar ﷺ bilan birga jang qildim va to'qqiz yuz to'qson to'qqiz (99) mushrikni o'ldirdim, lekin men ularni o'ldirganimdan yoki hech bir musulmonni fosh qilganimdan mamnun emasman" degan gap nisbat berilgan. Qarang: Ibn al-Asir, Usd al-g'abah, 1:186.

69 An obscure figure, possibly believed to exist only because of a confusion of names, evidently cited here because he is credited for having said “I fought beside the Prophet and killed ninety-nine pagans, but I am not pleased to have killed them, or to have exposed any Muslim.” See Ibn al- Athīr, Usd al-ghābah, 1:186.

70 Ravi bayon qilayotgan kishi qog'ozni taqdim etishi kerakligini unutib qo'ygan bo'lishi mumkin, yoki uni taqdim etishdan bosh tortgan va buni aytishni e'tiborsiz qoldirgan bo'lishi ehtimoli ham bor. Yoki oldingi "bersin" (aʿṭihi) so'zini birinchi shaxs buyruq shakli bo'lgan "men bera qolay" (uʿṭihi) deb o'qish mumkin, garchi bunday shakl bu yerda kam uchraydigan bo'lsa ham.

70 The narrator seems to have forgotten that he was supposed to be presenting the paper, or perhaps he refused to do so and has omitted to say so. Alternatively, the preceding “give” (aʿṭihi) might be read as a first-person jussive (uʿṭihi) “let me give,” though such a form would be unusual here.

71 Arabcha umumiy so'z bo'lib, (boshqa ma'nolari qatorida) "qopqoq, g'ilof" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Aniqroq aytganda, u siyoh idishining qopqog'ini (qarang: Gacek, Arabic Manuscripts, 135) va musiqa asboblari uchun g'ilofni bildirishi mumkin (Dwight Reynolds, shaxsiy muloqot). Bu yerda u hujjatlarni olib yurish uchun papka yoki konvertni ham anglatishi mumkin (Nuha Khoury, shaxsiy muloqot). Biroq u ma'lum o'lchamdagi qog'oz to'plamini ham bildirishi mumkin (Gacek, Arabic Manuscripts, 35; qarang: Clarity va boshq., Dictionary of Iraqi Arabic dagi zamonaviy atama ṭabqat waraq). Turli ehtimollarni hisobga olib, men "sheaf" so'zini noaniq atama sifatida tanladim, u "bir-biriga bog'langan yoki zich to'plangan narsalar to'plami; ko'p miqdordagi narsalar" ma'nosida (OED). Shuningdek, qarang: Ibn Ḥanbal o'zining kutub (4.20) kitoblarini olib yurgan kharīṭah ga.

71 The Arabic is a general word meaning (among other things) “cover.” More specifically it can be a lid (e.g., of an inkpot; see Gacek, Arabic Manuscripts, 135) and a wrapper for musical instruments (Dwight Reynolds, personal communication). Here it may refer to a folder or envelope for carrying documents (Nuha Khoury, personal communication). It may, however, also refer to a stack of paper of a certain size (Gacek, Arabic Manuscripts, 35; cf. the modern term ṭabqat waraq in Clarity et al., Dictionary of Iraqi Arabic). Given the various possibilities, I have chosen the vague term “sheaf” in the sense of a “cluster or bundle of things tied up together; a quantity of things set thick together” (OED). Cf. also the kharīṭah in which Ibn Ḥanbal carries his kutub (4.20).

72-bob. Dastlabki sunniylar orasida jamoaga (al-jamāʿah) yordam berish birlik va bo‘linishdan ko‘ra birlikni afzal ko‘rish ma’nosini anglatardi; masalan, o‘tgan barcha xalifalarni qonuniy hukmdor sifatida qabul qilish lozim edi. Bu qarash dastlabki sunniylarni shia va xavorijlar kabi guruhlardan ajratib turardi.

72 Among proto-Sunnis, to support the community (al-jamāʿah) meant preferring unity over schism, meaning (for example) that one should accept all past caliphs as legitimate rulers. This position distinguished the proto-Sunnis from groups such as the Shiʿa and the Khawārij.

73-bob. Ushbu bobdagi xabarlarning aksariyati Ibn Hanbalning ayrim hadis rivoyatlarini naql qilganini ko'rsatishga qaratilgan bo'lib, ularning ko'pchiligi erta sunniy harakat uchun alohida ahamiyatga ega xabarlardir. Bahsli masalalar ushbu kitobning boshqa joylarida izohlanganligi sababli, men faqat Ibn Hanbalning o'zini bevosita tasvirlaydigan xabarlarni saqlab qoldim.

73 Most of the reports in this chapter are intended to show that Ibn Ḥanbal transmitted certain Hadithreports, many of them reports of special significance to the early Sunni movement. As the points at issue are explained elsewhere in this book, I have retained only those reports that describe Ibn Ḥanbal directly.

74 Bu rivoyatning bir nechta versiyalari bor, ularni bu rivoyat naql qilgan roviylar aytib berishgan. Ularning barchasi Payg‘ambar ﷺ o‘z Parvardigorini soqolsiz, yosh bola ko‘rinishida ko‘rgan, deydi. Ba’zi sharhlovchilar "ko‘rish"ni haqiqiy ma’noda emas, balki majoziy ma’noda izohlaydilar. Qarang: al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2-nashr, 110-bet, 1-izoh; Williams, "Aspects of the Creed". 75 Bu bob oddiygina ismlar ro‘yxatidan iborat. Men undan oxirgi qismidan tashqari hammasini qoldirdim; oxirgi qismda Ibn Ḥanbal doirasidagi bir necha ayollarning ismlari zikr etilgan.

74 There are several versions of this report as told by these transmitters. All say that the Prophet saw his Lord in the form of a young, beardless boy. Some commentators explain “seeing” figuratively rather than literally. See al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 110n1, and Williams, “Aspects of the Creed.” 75 This chapter is simply a list of names and I have omitted all of it except for the last section, which names several of the women in Ibn Ḥanbal’s circle.

Atqā: taqvodorroq bo‘lgan yoki shu davrda murakkablik sababli paydo bo‘lgan, bo‘shashib qolishning oldini olish uchun mo‘ljallangan, o‘ziga xos kuchli xavotir turi (Melchert, “Exaggerated Fear”).

76 Atqā: having more taqwā, or what in this period seems to have been a kind of intense anxiety intended to prevent complacency (Melchert, “Exaggerated Fear”).

77. Hadis yozish masalasi haqida qarang: Cook, “Opponents”; Melchert, Ahmad, 24–33; Schoeler, Genesis, 47–50.

77 On writing Hadith, see Cook, “Opponents,” Melchert, Ahmad, 24–33, and Schoeler, Genesis, 47– 50.

78 Riddah (ayrilish) irtidodi — Payg‘ambar vafotidan so‘ng ba’zi arab qabilalarining Islomni tark etishi edi; Abu Bakr ularni kuch bilan yana islom jamoasiga qaytardi. Ushbu mavzu haqida batafsil ma’lumot olish uchun qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 23–38.

78 The Apostasy was the abandonment of Islam by certain Arab tribes after the death of the Prophet; Abū Bakr brought them back into the fold by force. For more on this theme, see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 23–38.

79 ʿAlī ʿAlī ibn Abī Tālib rozi bo‘lganlikka, ya’ni tafti­sh (inkvizitsiya) bosimiga bo‘ysunganligi uchun qoralangan.

79 ʿAlī was condemned for giving in to the Inquisition.

Бу ғалати гап. Олтин кўрукка (kīr) — яъни ҳаво етказиб берадиган дамга — эмас, балки печга ёки чўққа тушади, у ерда ажратиб олинади ёки ишлов бериш учун қиздирилади. Қадимги замонларда олтин эритиш жараёнидаги аралашмалар туфайли кўпинча қизғиш тусга кирар эди (Wikipedia, “Colored Gold”, кирилган сана: 5 апрель 2013, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold), аммо Бишр қизиган олтинни назарда тутган бўлиши ҳам мумкин.

80 An odd thing to say. The gold would not go into the bellows (kīr), which supplies air, but into or onto the furnace, where it is extracted, or the forge, where it is heated in order to be worked. In premodern times, gold would often acquire a reddish color because of impurities in the smelting process (Wikipedia, “Colored Gold,” accessed April 5, 2013, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold), though Bishr may be thinking of red-hot gold.

81 Turli payg'ambarlarning hokimiyat oldida haqiqatni aytgani haqidagi ishora (masalan, Muso Fir'avn oldida, Qur'on A'rof 7:103 va undan keyingi oyatlar, Yunus 10:75 va undan keyingi oyatlar, To Ha 20:24 va undan keyingi oyatlar).

81 A reference to the various prophets who speak truth to power (e.g., Mūsā/Moses before Pharaoh, Q Aʿrāf 7:103ff., Yūnus 10:75ff., Ṭā Hā 20:24ff.).

82 Mutaʿabbid (shuningdek ʿābid): hadischilar tomonidan ishlatiladigan atama bo‘lib, ular ilmdosh olimlar bo‘lishi shart bo‘lmagan, lekin zohidlik qilgan va Bishr kabi dunyodan voz kechgan kishilar bilan aloqada bo‘lgan shaxslarni anglatgan. Ibn Ḥanbalning tarjimai holi yozuvchilari ba’zi shaxslarni shu atama bilan ta’riflash orqali, hatto Bag‘dodning zohidlari ham Ibn Ḥanbalning ustunligini tan olganini bilvosita ta’kidlayotgandek ko‘rinadi.

82 Mutaʿabbid (also ʿābid): a term used by the Hadith-men to refer to those who were not necessarily fellow scholars but practiced austerities and associated with renunciants like Bishr. By using this term to identify certain figures, Ibn Ḥanbal’s biographers seem to be arguing indirectly that even the renunciants of Baghdad acknowledged Ibn Ḥanbal’s superiority.

Masala shundaki, "Allohu akbar" deganda qo'llarni ko'tarish kerakmi yo'qmi, bu masala Hanbaliylar bilan Abu Hanifa izdoshi bo'lgan Hanafiylarni ajratgan (Melchert, review of Virtues, 355).

83 The point at issue here is “whether to raise the hands at saying Allāh akbar, an issue that separated the Ḥanabilah from the Ḥanafiyyah,” the followers of Abū Ḥanīfah (Melchert, review of Virtues, 355).

84 Q Nūr 24:63.

84 Q Nūr 24:63.

85 Izār: «tikilmagan, tanaga yaqin o‘ralgan kiyim bo‘lib, bel va oyoqlarga o‘ralib, yuqoriga kindikkacha, pastga esa oyoq o‘rtasigacha yoki undan ham pastgacha cho‘ziladi» (Ahsan, Social Life, 34); «ustki kiyim va uzun bel o‘rami yoki belbog‘ sifatida kiyiladigan, katta choyshabga o‘xshash o‘rama mato» (Stillman, “Libās”).

85 Izār: “unsewn close-fitting garment wrapped round the waist and legs and extending upwards as far as the navel, and downwards as far as the middle of the leg or beyond” (Ahsan, Social Life, 34); “a large sheet-like wrap worn both as a mantle and a long loin cloth or waist cloth” (Stillman, “Libās”).

86-oyat. Bu parcha qiyin va shubhali. Qo‘lyozmalar bir-biriga mos kelmaydi va hech biri to‘liq qoniqarli o‘qilishni bermaydi. Men ḥaṭṭihā ni tanladim — “ularning uni past qilishi”, ya’ni qamchi zarbalari bilan uning xo‘rlanishi, chunki u ṭāra, “u uchib ketdi” so‘ziga qarama-qarshi tarzda o‘qilishi mumkin. ʿināʾihā ni esa — “ular unga yetkazgan azob” — tanladim, chunki u fikrni to‘ldirishga asosli ravishda mos keladi.

86 A difficult and dubious passage. The manuscripts cannot be reconciled and none gives an entirely satisfactory reading. I have chosen ḥaṭṭihā, “their bringing him low,” that is, his being humiliated by the blows of the whip, because it can be read as antithetical to ṭāra, “he flew”; I have chosen ʿināʾihā “the suffering they caused him” because it plausibly completes the idea.

Al-Turkī has bi-ḥaẓẓihā wa-ghināʾihā, by which he seems to understand "by the good fortune they brought him, and their obviating the need for any further accomplishment." I am not entirely satisfied with either of our suggestions.

87 Bukhoriy (ya'ni, bog'lovchi belbog'ning) burama yoki o'ralgan holda kiyilishining ma'nosi aniq emas. Bu hashamatsizlikni yoki soddalikni anglatgan bo'lishi mumkin. Ibn Ḥajar, Fatḥ al-bārī, 5456-raqamli hadisda, chetida shoshilar bo'lgan belbog'ning shoshilarini saqlash uchun o'ralgan bo'lishi mumkinligini zikr qiladi.

87 The significance of having a twisted or rolled-up breechclout is unclear. It may have suggested austerity or lack of pretense. Ibn Ḥajar, Fatḥ al-bārī, no. 5456, mentions that a fringed breechclout might be rolled up to protect the fringe.

88 Qarang: Picken, “Ibn Ḥanbal and al-Muḥāsibī.” 89 Al-ʿaskar, so‘zma-so‘z “qo‘shin lageri” degani bo‘lib, bu yerda 221/836 yildan 279/892 yilgacha Abbosiylar poytaxti bo‘lgan Iroqdagi shaharga ishora qiladi. Ibn Hanbal va uning oilasi Inkvizatsiya tugagach, o‘sha yerga olib kelingan.

88 See Picken, “Ibn Ḥanbal and al-Muḥāsibī.” 89 Al-ʿaskar, literally “the army camp,” here referring to the Iraqi town that served as the Abbasid capital from 221/836 to 279/892. Ibn Ḥanbal and his family were brought there after the end of the Inquisition.

"Bu odamlar": Abbosiy amaldorlar, ular tafsilotlari 66-bobdan boshlab berilgan Inkvizitsiyani amalga oshirganlar.

90 “Those people”: the Abbasid officials carrying out the Inquisition, on which see chapter 66ff.

91 Abū Zurʿah (vafoti 264/877–88) Ibn Hanbaldan taxminan yigirma yil keyin vafot etgan, shu sababli uning xotiralarini o‘tgan zamon shaklida berdim, lekin arab matni ambiguous: u bularning hammasini Ibn Hanbal hali tirik paytida ham aytgan bo‘lishi mumkin.

91 Abū Zurʿah (d. 264/877–88) died some twenty years after Ibn Ḥanbal, so I have put his recollections in the past tense, but the Arabic is ambiguous: he could have said all of this while Ibn Ḥanbal was still alive.

92-izoh. Ehtimolan, lekin bu yerda tasdiqlanmagan sharh: “Islomning eng buyuk himoyachilari Mihna davrida Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Riddat davrida Abu Bakr bo‘lgan”, va hokazo.

92 A likelier comment, though unattested here, is “The greatest champions of Islam have been Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal during the Inquisition, Abū Bakr during the Apostasy,” etc.

93 Saqifa — bu joy edi, u yerda Umar Abu Bakrning xalifalikka nomzodini Madina ahlining e'tirozlariga qaramay oldinga surgan. Uchinchi xalifa Usmon uyini qamal qilgan isyonchilar bilan jang qilib halok bo'ldi. Siffin esaAli bilan Muoviya o'rtasida xalifalik masalasi yuzasidan bo'lib o'tgan jang maydoni edi.

93 The Porch was the place where ʿUmar pushed through the nomination of Abū Bakr as caliph over the objections of the Medinans. ʿUthman, the third caliph, died fighting rebels who had besieged his house. Ṣiffīn was the site of the battle between ʿAlī and Muʿawiyah over the succession.

94 Fosiq: ya’ni, to‘g‘ri ishni bilgan yoki bilishi kerak bo‘lgan va shunga qarama-qarshi ish qilgan kishi; ba’zan “og‘ir gunohkor” deb ham tarjima qilinadi. 95 Yoki boshqa o‘qilishga ko‘ra: “U gunohkorga qarshi chiqardi, odamlarni uning aleyhiga qo‘zg‘agan holda.” 96 Ibn Hajar, Tahzib, 1:343.

94 Fāsiq: that is, one who knows, or should know, the right thing to do, and does something else; sometimes rendered as “grave sinner.” 95 Or, to take the variant reading: “He would confront the offender, having turned people against him.” 96 Ibn Ḥajar, Tahdhīb, 1:343.

97 Ko‘rinishidan, Ibn Hotim hadislarni birinchi marta yodidan aytib bergan, ikkinchi marta esa yozib qo‘ygan yozuvlaridan o‘qigan.

97 Apparently Ibn Ḥātim recited the reports from memory the first time, and read them from his notes the second time.

Gap shu ma'noda: Ibn Hanbalga duo qilmaslik, chegaralardagi musulmon jangchilarga qo'shilmaslik bilan bir darajada yomondir.

98 The point is that not praying for Ibn Ḥanbal is as bad as not joining Muslim fighters on the frontiers.

Ibrohim ga shubhasiz huquqiy savol berilgan, va Ibn al-Javziy javobni to‘liq keltiradi, chunki unda Ibn Hanbalga havola bor.

99 Ibrāhīm has evidently been asked a legal question, and Ibn al-Jawzī cites the answer in full since it contains a reference to Ibn Ḥanbal.

101 An allusion to two verses that describe those who believe in the Revelation (Q Āl ʿImrān 3:7 and Nisāʾ 4:162).

102 Inkvizitsiyaga ishora (66-bobga qarang).

104 Al-Turkī bu hikoyani va quyidagi boblarda keltirilgan hikoyalarni Ibn Hanbalga munosib bo'lmagan, uydirma ertaklar sifatida rad etadi. U Ibn Hanbal "o'z matnlariga mahkam yopishgan va hayoliy uydirmalar hamda tush-hikoyalarni rad etgan" zot ekanini aytadi va "uning tarjimai holini yozganlar uning yo'lidan borishlari kerak", deb qo'shimcha qiladi (Manoqib, 2-nashr, 190n2).

104 Al-Turkī declares this, along with the stories that appear in the following chapters, as absurd inventions unworthy of Ibn Ḥanbal, “who stuck close to his texts and rejected fictions and dream-stories,” adding that “those who write his biography would do well to follow his lead” (Manāqib, 2nd ed., 190n2).

105 Bir nechta (odatda) to'rtta shaxsdan biri, ularning har biri asosiy yo'nalishlardan biriga bog'liq, sirli sufiy avliyolar ierarxiyasida (ba'zi rivoyatlarda) uchinchi o'rinni egallaydi (Goldziher, “Awtād”). Bunday rivoyatlar, ehtimol, ba'zan bir-biriga zid bo'lib qoladigan da'volarni yarashtirish maqsadida tuzilgan: bir tomondan, matnlarning harfiy ma'nosiga asoslangan shariat zohiriga, ya'ni tashqi amallarga rioya qilishni ma'qul ko'rgan (Ibn Ḥanbal kabi) kishilar, ikkinchi tomondan, tajribani ustun qo'ygan va matnlarni majoziy ma'noda talqin qilishga undagan (sufiylar kabi) kishilar. Bu hikoya, shubhasiz, al-Shāfīʿī, Ibn Ḥanbal yoki Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith davridan keyinroq yaratilgan; ularning zamonida tasavvuf alohida an'ana sifatida endigina shakllana boshlagan edi.

105 One of (usually) four figures, each associated with one of the cardinal points, occupying (in some accounts) the third rank in the hierarchy of secret Sufi saints (Goldziher, “Awtād”). Stories of this type appear to have been constructed in order to reconcile the sometimes conflicting claims of those Muslims who (like Ibn Ḥanbal) favored outward conformance to the law based on the literal reading of texts and those who (like the Sufis) privileged experience and encouraged the allegorical reading of texts. This story doubtless dates to a period later than that of al-Shāfīʿī, Ibn Ḥanbal, or Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith, in whose time Sufism was only beginning to emerge as a distinct tradition.

108 Abdāl yoki budalāʾ: “Sufiy avliyolar ierarxiyasidagi darajalardan biri bo‘lib, ular ommaga noma’lum bo‘lsa-da, o‘zlarining kuchli ta’siri orqali koinot tartibini saqlashda ishtirok etadilar.” Ularning nomi shundan kelib chiqadiki, “har bir sinfda bo‘shagan o‘rinlar, uning bevosita quyi sinfidagi a’zoni o‘sha sinfga ko‘tarish orqali to‘ldiriladi” (Goldziher va Kissling, “Abdāl”); qarang: yahudiylarning, dunyo halok bo‘lmasligi uchun soni doimo o‘zgarmas bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan o‘ttiz olti solih kishi haqidagi rivoyati (Encyclopaedia Judaica, “Lamed Vav Ẓaddikim”). Bu izohni menga bergani uchun Jay Cooperson’ga minnatdorman. Ibn Ḥanbal davrida hali yangi shakllanayotgan sufiylik tafakkurida abdollarning soni va martabalari haqida turlicha qarashlar mavjud.

108 Abdāl or budalāʾ: “one of the degrees in the ṣūfī hierarchical order of saints, who, unknown by the masses … participate by means of their powerful influence in the preservation of the order of the universe.” Their name comes from the fact that “vacancies which occur in each of the classes are filled by the promotion to that class of a member of the class immediately below it” (Goldziher and Kissling, “Abdāl”); cf. the Jewish legend of the thirty-six righteous men whose number must remain constant lest the world be destroyed (Encyclopaedia Judaica, “Lamed Vav Ẓaddikim”). I thank Jay Cooperson for this explanation. In Sufi thought, which was still nascent in Ibn Ḥanbal’s time, there are different accounts of the number and ranking of the abdāl.

Ḥanbalī tarjimai hollarni yozuvchilar bu atamani texnik jihatlariga unchalik e’tibor bermay, o‘z qahramonlarini maqtash vositasi sifatida qabul qilganga o‘xshaydi. Erta ḥanbaliylik va erta tasavvuf o‘rtasidagi munosabat haqida qarang: Melchert, “Ḥanābila.” 109 Ya’ni, bu atamaning o‘z manbasidan noto‘g‘ri olingani va shu sababli ifloslangani haqida tashvishlanishingizga hojat yo‘q — bu waraʿ (ehtiyotkorlik)ga amal qiluvchilar uchun muhim masala.

Ḥanbalī biographers appear to have taken over the term—without troubling themselves about the technicalities—as a way of praising their heroes. On the relationship between early Ḥanbalism and early Sufism, see Melchert, “Ḥanābila.” 109 That is, you need not fear that it has been wrongly taken from its source and thereby tainted—an important concern for practitioners of waraʿ (scrupulosity).

110 Kāmakh: donli don ziravori (achitqi). Charles Perry ikki asosiy turni aniqlagan: "kāmakh rijāl, shuningdek kāmakh Baghdād deb ham ataladi, yarim suyuq bo'lib, ta'mi cheddar pishlog'ining ta'miga o'xshash edi, va kāmakh aḥmar, u ham shunga o'xshash edi, lekin ta'mi ko'k pishloqnikiga o'xshardi" (shaxsiy muloqot).

110 Kāmakh: a fermented grain condiment. Charles Perry has identified two basic varieties: “kāmakh rijāl, also called kāmakh Baghdād, which was semiliquid and tasted rather like Cheddar cheese, and kāmakh aḥmar, which was much the same but with a flavor like blue cheese” (personal communication).

113 So'z ʿilj: g'ayriarab, g'ayrimusulmon, jismoniy jihatdan kuchli va musulmonlarga bo'ysunuvchi yoki ular bilan kurashuvchi ma'nolarni o'zida mujassam etgan so'z.

113 The word ʿilj: a word that carries the connotations of being non-Arab, non-Muslim, physically formidable, and subordinate to, or fighting against, Muslims.

114 Bu fikr shundan iboratki, Ibn Hanbal uchun duo qilinsa, o'q o'z nishoniga tegadi.

118 Ar. murjiʾah: ular Sahobalar haqida hukm chiqarish yoki ularni ayirgan nizolarni hal qilish keyingi davr musulmonlariga xos emas, deb hisoblaydigan kishilar; ya'ni bunday nizolarni hal qilish Qiyomat kuniga qoldirilishi kerak, deb hisoblaydi.

118 Ar. murjiʾah: those who hold that latter-day Muslims cannot judge the Companions or resolve the disputes that divided them, and that any such resolution must be postponed until Judgment Day.

Ular, shuningdek, barcha mo'minlarning iymoni bir xil darajada ekanini ta'kidlaydilar (yoki shunday deb ayblanadilar), natijada oddiy musulmon o'zini Jabroil farishtasi kabi iymonli deb aytishi mumkin bo'lib qoladi. Sunniylarning an'anaviy qarashi shundan iboratki, iymon ortishi yoki kamayishi mumkin, shuning uchun ba'zi odamlarning iymoni boshqalarnikidan ko'p bo'lishi mumkin.

They also argue (or are accused of arguing) that all believers have the same amount of faith, making it possible for an ordinary Muslim to say that he is as faithful as the angel Gabriel. The standard Sunni position is that faith can increase or decrease, making it possible for some people to have more faith than others.

119 Kofir: kufr qilgan kishi; asli “nomisgorlik” ma’nosini bildiradi va kengroq ma’noda Xudoga ishonishdan bosh tortish yoki Xudoga ishonishni e’lon qilmaslik demakdir (batafsil qarang: Björkman, “Kāfir” va Adang, “Belief and Unbelief”).

119 Kāfir: one who commits kufr, originally “ingratitude,” and by extension refusal to believe in, or declare a belief in, God (see further Björkman, “Kāfir” and Adang, “Belief and Unbelief”).

Kāfir ko‘pincha ingliz tilida “unbeliever” deb tarjima qilinadi, ammo bu atama zamonaviy ingliz tilida alohida ma’noga ega emas. Shu sababli ko‘p hollarda men “Ingrate” so‘zini bosh harf bilan yozishni ma’qul topdim, bu so‘z rasmiy ayblovni ifodalash uchun ishlatilgan. Shunga qaramay, kufr uchun “unbelief” atamasini saqlab qoldim, chunki “ingratitude” so‘zi, “ingrate”dan farqli o‘laroq, ingliz tilida odatda e’tiqodiy emas, balki ijtimoiy kamchiliklarni qoralash uchun ishlatiladi. Bu atamaning “murakkab va chalkash dunyoni ancha soddalashtirish” uchun qo‘llanilishi haqida qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 241.

Kāfir is often translated as “unbeliever,” but since that term has no particular resonance in modern English, I have decided in most cases to use “Ingrate,” capitalized to indicate that the word is being used to enact a kind of formal condemnation. I have nevertheless retained “unbelief” for kufr, since “ingratitude,” unlike “ingrate,” is commonly used in English to condemn social rather than creedal faults. On the uses of this term to render “a complicated and confusing world considerably simpler,” see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 241.

120 Ikkala qo‘lyozmada ham "kāfir wa-fataḥ al-kāf" deb yozilgan. Oxirgi ibora odatda undosh harfni qisqa a bilan talaffuz qilishni anglatgani uchun al-Turkiy birinchi so‘zni "kafar", ya’ni "u kufr qildi" deb tuzatadi. Biroq oldingi rivoyatni hisobga olsak, hamda (1) arab tilshunoslik atamalari hali standartlashtirilmagan va (2) hadischilardan hali bunday tilshunoslikni, mavjud bo‘lgan darajada ham, o‘rganish talab qilinmagan edi, al-Baghawiy Ibn Ḥanbal "kāfir" so‘zini uzun ā bilan aytgan, shu tariqa gunohkorlarni "Nankor" deb atagan, deb nazarda tutgan bo‘lishi mumkin deb o‘ylayman. Qaysi holat bo‘lmasin, gap shundaki, Ibn Ḥanbal "kufr" ismini, ya’ni gunohni emas, balki gunohkorni qoralaydigan "kufr" – "inkor" atamasini ishlatmagan.

120 Both manuscripts read kāfir wa-fataḥ al-kāf. Since the latter expression usually means to pronounce a consonant with a short a, al-Turkī emends the first word to read kafar, “he committed unbelief.” Given the preceding report, however, and in light of the facts that (1) Arabic linguistic terminology was not yet standardized and (2) Hadith scholars were not yet expected to study such linguistics as existed, I think it entirely possible that al-Baghawī meant to say that Ibn Ḥanbal said the word kāfir with a long ā, thereby calling the offenders Ingrates. Either way, the point is that Ibn Ḥanbal did not use the noun kufr “unbelief,” a term that would condemn the sin rather than the sinner.

121 Jahm ibn Safvon, vafot etgan 128/745, unga bir qator ta'limotlar nisbat beriladi, ular Ibn Hanbal va uning izdoshlariga yoqmas edi, xususan, Qur'onning prototipi ma'lum bir paytdan boshlab mavjud bo'lgan, degan da'vo (van Ess, Theologie und Gesellschaft, 2:493–508, 4:625–30; Martin, "Createdness of the Qurʾān"). Ibn Hanbal eng kuchli ravishda yaratilganlik (makhluq bo'lish) aqidasi bilan bog'laydigan kishilar Mu'tazilachilar emas, balki Jahm tarafdorlaridir (Melchert, "Adversaries").

121 Jahm ibn Ṣafwān, d. 128/745, to whom are attributed a number of teachings hateful to Ibn Ḥanbal and his associates, particularly the claim that the prototype of the Qurʾan began to exist only at a particular point in time (van Ess, Theologie und Gesellschaft, 2:493–508, 4:625–30; Martin, “Createdness of the Qurʾān”). The people Ibn Ḥanbal associates most strongly with the createdness doctrine are the followers of Jahm, not the Muʿtazilah (Melchert, “Adversaries”).

Bu ifoda Qur'onning Xudoga ma'lum bo'lgani va Undan ajralmas ekanini, shuning uchun Uning tomonidan ma'lum bir vaqtda yaratilgan narsa emasligini ta'kidlaydi (Madelung, "Controversy").

122 This way of putting it emphasizes that the Qurʾan, being known to God, was inseparable from Him, and thus not an object created by Him at a particular moment in time (Madelung, “Controversy”).

123 — Ibn Ḥanbalning shogirdi Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdulloh ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muhojir. Uning ismi Būrān (qarang: al-Turkiy, Manoqib, 2-nashr, 208-izoh 4) va Fawzon shaklida ham berilgan (al-Xatib al-Bag‘dodiy, Ta’rix Bag‘dod, 10:78 [raqam 5190]).

123 Ibn Ḥanbal’s associate Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muhājir. His name is also given as Būrān (see al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 208n4) and Fawzān (al-Khaṭīb al- Baghdādī, Taʾrīkh Baghdād, 10:78 [no. 5190]).

125-bo'lim Bu bo'lim Xudo haqida harakat va ko'rinish kabi sifatlarga ega ekanini aytadigan oyatlar va rivoyatlarni qanday tushunish masalasiga bag'ishlangan. Ba'zi mutafakkirlar, jumladan, Jahm tarafdorlari deb ataladiganlar, Xudo bilan yaratiqlar o'rtasida o'xshashlik tasdiqlamaslik uchun bunday matnlarni majoziy ma'noda izohlaganlar. Bu yerda keltirilgan so'zlarida Ibn Hanbal bunday matnlarni umuman izohlashga urinmaslik kerakligini ta'kidlaydi. Ba'zi keyingi hanbaliylar matnlarga sodiq tushunish uchun Xudoning jismoniy tanasi borligiga ishonish zarurligini aytganlar. Bu qarashni ular Ibn Hanbalning o'zi aytgan deb nақл qilinadigan dalillar bilan asoslaydilar (Ibn Hanbal, attr., Radd).

125 This section addresses the problem of how to understand verses and reports that speak of God as if He possesses attributes such as motion and visibility. Some thinkers, including the so-called followers of Jahm, interpreted such passages metaphorically in order to avoid asserting a likeness between God and His creatures. In the remarks cited here, Ibn Ḥanbal insists that one should not try to explain the passages at all. Some later Ḥanbalīs insisted that a faithful understanding of the texts requires us to believe that God has a physical body. In support of this view they cite arguments reportedly made by Ibn Ḥanbal himself (Ibn Ḥanbal, attr., Radd).

Bu 126-hadis va Qiyomat surasi (75:22–23) kabi xabarlar najot topganlar oxiratda Xudoni ko'rishini aytadi. Ibn Hanbal kabi sunniylar bu da'voni zohiriy ma'noda tushungan, Mu'tazila (va boshqalar) esa unday tushunmagan. Qarang: Omariy, "Beatific Vision", batafsil manbalar bilan.

126 Hadith reports like this one, as well as Q Qiyāmah 75:22–23, say that the saved will see God in the afterlife. Sunnis like Ibn Ḥanbal understood this claim literally, while the Muʿtazilah (among others) did not. See Omari, “Beatific Vision,” with further references.

127 Kalām: ya'ni, spekulyativ ilohiyot yoki din haqidagi bahs-munozara. Bu arabcha atama oddiy so'z sifatida ham "gapirish" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Bu so'zning tarixi haqida qarang: Cook, "Origins." 128 Ibn Ḥanbal bahs-munozaradan ogohlantirgan bo'lsa-da, uning ayrim izdoshlari, ayniqsa o'z nomlarini oshkor qilmasdan turib, kalom bilan shug'ullangan (Omari, "Kitāb al-Ḥayda"). Ibn Ḥanbalning "musulmon jamoasi chegaralarini dār al-Islām hayotining ijtimoiy haqiqatining tarkibiy qismiga aylantirishdagi" roli haqida qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 255ff (iqtibos 256–57-betlarda).

127 Kalām: that is, speculative theology, or dialectic concerning religion. The Arabic term is also the ordinary word for “talking.” On the history of the word, see Cook, “Origins.” 128 Despite Ibn Ḥanbal’s warning to avoid Disputation, some of his followers did engage in kalām, especially when they could do so anonymously (Omari, “Kitāb al-Ḥayda”). On Ibn Ḥanbal’s role in “making the boundaries of the Muslim community a component of the social reality of life within the dār al-Islām,” see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 255ff (quotation at 256–57).

Ushbu guruhlarning e’tiqodlari quyidagi rivoyatlarda bayon etilgan.

129 The doctrines of these groups are explained in the reports that follow.

130 Yaʼni, va u "yaratilmagan" degan so'zni qo'shmaydi. Bular "to'xtatuvchilar" (Stoppers) deb ataladi. Melchert ularni, shuningdek "yaratilgan talaffuz tarafdorlari" (lafẓiyyah so'zining mening tarjimam), "yarim ratsionalistlar" deb ta'riflaydi; ular "an'anaviylar" (Ibn Ḥanbal kabi, matnlarga tayanishni, aql bilan ish ko'rmaslikni talab qilganlar) hamda ratsionalist ajralib chiquvchilar va Jahm izdoshlari o'rtasida o'z o'rnini topishga harakat qilgan (Melchert, "Adversaries").

130 I.e., and does not go on to say “uncreated.” These are the Stoppers. Melchert describes them, along with the Proponents of the Created Utterance (my translation of lafẓiyyah) as “semi-rationalists” who tried to stake out a position between the “traditionalists” (people who, like Ibn Ḥanbal, insisted on citing texts rather than using reason) and the rationalist Secessionists and followers of Jahm (Melchert, “Adversaries”).

131 Ya'ni, agar u insonlar tomonidan og'zaki aytilsa, holbuki Qur'on Xudoga ma'lum bo'lgan holda yaratilmagan. Bu qarashni tutganlar "Yaratilgan talaffuz tarafdorlari" deb ataladi.

131 I.e., if spoken aloud by humans, while the Qurʾan as known to God is uncreated. Those who held this view are the Proponents of Created Utterance.

132 Ilohiyotchi Jahm tarafidan izdosh bo‘lgan deb hukm qilingan, 218/833 yilda vafot etgan. U haqida qarang: van Ess, Theologie, 3:175–88.

132 A theologian condemned as a follower of Jahm, d. 218/833; on him, see van Ess, Theologie, 3:175–88.

133 Mu'tazila, so'zma-so'z "o'zlarini ajratib olganlar": umuman olganda ratsionalist yondashuvga ega bo'lgan olimlarga berilgan nom. Masalan, ular Xudoning ko'rinishda jismoniy bo'lib tuyuladigan sifatlarini majoziy izohlashni ma'qul ko'rishgan. Qo'shimcha manbalar bilan birga qarang: Omari, "Mu'tazila".

133 The Muʿtazilah, literally “those who sent themselves apart”: the name applied to scholars who were, broadly speaking, rationalist in their approach. For example, they favored metaphorical explanations for the apparently physical attributes of God. See Omari, “Muʿtazilah,” with further references.

134 Ar. zanādiqah: dastlab manixeylik dualistlariga nisbat berilgan atama, keyinchalik islomga zid e'tiqodga yashirincha amal qiladi, deb gumon qilingan har qanday kishiga ham qo'llanilgan.

134 Ar. zanādiqah: a term originally applied to Manichean dualists, and later to anyone suspected of secretly adhering to a creed incompatible with Islam.

135 Ar. rāfiḍī: Shia'larga nisbatan qo'llaniladigan tahqirlovchi atama; ularning Abu Bakr, Umar, Usmon va Muoviya ni qonuniy xalifalar sifatida rad etishlariga ishora qiladi.

135 Ar. rāfiḍī: a disparaging term of reference to Shiʿa, referring to their rejection of Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, ʿUthmān, and Muʿāwiyah as legitimate caliphs.

136-masala. Bu yerda gap siyosiy qonuniylik masalasida edi. Shia musulmonlarining fikricha, Payg‘ambarning amakivachchasi ʿAli Abu Bakr, ʿUmar yoki ʿUsmon o‘rniga xalifa etib saylanishi kerak edi. Bunga javoban, bu fikrga qo‘shilmagan musulmonlar tanlangan uch kishining ʿAlidan afzalroq ekanligini isbotlashga majbur bo‘ldilar. (Uchinchi pozitsiya esa bu masalada hukm chiqarishni to‘xtatib turish edi.)

136 The issue here was one of political legitimacy. According to Shiʿi Muslims, the Prophet’s cousin ʿAlī should have been chosen as caliph over Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, or ʿUthmān. In response, Muslims who disagreed were forced to argue that the three actually chosen were more meritorious than ʿAlī. (A third position was that judgment on the matter should be suspended.)

Diniy oqibatlar ham bor edi, chunki shia faqat Alī va uning avlodlarini namuna sifatida qabul qilar va boshqa sahobalar tomonidan rivoyat qilingan xabarlarni rad etardi. Bu qarashlarning rivojlanishi haqida qarang: Crone, God’s Rule, 3–141.

There were religious implications too, since the Shiʿa accepted only ʿAlī and his descendants as exemplars and rejected reports transmitted by other Companions. On the development of these positions, see Crone, God’s Rule, 3–141.

137. Ushbu xabar uchun 20.28 ga qarang, manbalar uchun esa al-Turkiy, Manāqib, 2-nashr, 214–15n2 ga qarang.

138 Mubtadiʿ, ko‘pincha “innovator” deb tarjima qilinadi — bu so‘z ingliz tilida, arab tilidagidan farqli o‘laroq, ijobiy ma’noga ega. Bidʿah (birinchi musulmonlarniki bilan mos kelmaydigan va yangi deb hisoblangan e’tiqod yoki amal) hamda uning hosilalarini men kontekstga qarab turlicha tarjima qildim. Ushbu variantlardan biri sifatida “novelty” (yangilik) so‘zini taklif qilgani uchun James Montgomeryga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

138 Mubtadiʿ, often translated as “innovator,” a word which—in contrast to the Arabic—is a positive one in English. I have used different translations of bidʿah (belief or practice condemned as new and contrary to that of the first Muslims) and its derivatives depending on context. I thank James Mongtomery for suggesting “novelty” as one possibility.

Ya'ni, birinchi to'rt xalifani tanlagan sahobalar.

139 That is, the Companions who chose the first four caliphs.

Ko'pgina musulmonlar Alī va uning oilasiga alohida muqaddaslik ato etdilar; ba'zilari — imomiya shialar — esa, ma'lum bir oila a'zolarini yo'lboshchi va namuna deb qabul qilmagan har bir kishi najot topmaydi, deb da'vo qildilar. Ibn Ḥanbal va uning izdoshlari bu qarashni rad etdilar va najotga Qur'on va sunnatga ergashish orqali erishish mumkin, deb hisobladilar. Shu bilan birga, ular Alī va uning oilasini kamsitishni istamadilar, chunki ularning barchasi Payg'ambar ﷺ ahli-baytiga mansub edi.

140 Many Muslims ascribed special sanctity to ʿAlī and his family, with some—the Imami Shiʿa— claiming that anyone who did not take certain members of the family as guides and exemplars would not be saved. Ibn Ḥanbal and his associates rejected this view, holding instead that salvation might be attained by following the Qurʾan and the sunnah. At the same time, they did not want to disparage ʿAlī and his family, all of whom belonged to the Prophet’s household.

Ushbu bobning qolgan qismi Sunniy aqidasining bir nechta juda uzun, bandma-band bayon etilgan tavsiflaridan iborat.

145 The remainder of this chapter consists of several very long, itemized accounts of the Sunni creed.

Ushbu boblarning boshida keltirilgan qisqa bayonotlardan farqli o'laroq, bular juda ochiqdan-ochiq polemik xarakterga ega va shunchalik sun'iy tarzda yig'ilganki, ularni asl matn sifatida qabul qilish qiyin. Maykl Kuk bitta aqidaga nisbatan shubha bildirgan (Commanding Right, 110–11n232), Sa'ud AlSarhan esa ularning yana beshtasini, jami oltitasini keyingi manbalarga ishonchli tarzda bog'lagan (Early Muslim Traditionalism, 29–48).

Unlike the short statements that take up the beginning of the chapter, these are too explicitly polemical, and too obviously cobbled together, to seem authentic. Michael Cook has expressed doubts about one creed (Commanding Right, 110–11n232), and Saud AlSarhan has convincingly attributed it and five others to later sources (Early Muslim Traditionalism, 29–48).

AlSarhan xulosa qiladi: “bu aqidalar Ibn Ḥanbalning o‘z e’tiqodlaridan ko‘ra, uchinchi va to‘rtinchi asrlarda (to‘qqizinchi va o‘ninchi asrlar) traditsionalist ilohiyotni aks ettirishga ko‘proq moyildir”, va qo‘shimcha qiladi, ular, shunga qaramay, Ibn Ḥanbalni to‘g‘ri aqida uchun vakolatli manba sifatida dindor dastlabki musulmonlar qatoriga qo‘yishga xizmat qilgan (o‘sha manba, 53-bet). Ushbu qisqartirilgan nashr tarixiy Ibn Ḥanbalga qaratilganligi sababli, men uzun aqidalarni chiqarib tashladim.

AlSarhan concludes that “these creeds are more likely to present traditionalist theology in the third and the fourth/ninth and tenth centuries than Ibn Ḥanbal’s own beliefs,” adding that they nevertheless served to place Ibn Ḥanbal on a par with the pious early Muslims as an authoritative source for right doctrine (ibid., 53). As this abridged edition focuses on the historical Ibn Ḥanbal, I have omitted the long creeds.

146 Muḥdath yoki ehtimol muḥaddith, “hadis olimi.” 147 Hijomat — shisha idishning ichida olov yordamida bo‘shliq hosil qilib, so‘ngra uni tanaga qo‘yish orqali bajariladigan amaliyot bo‘lib, ba’zan teri ustida kesma qilingandan keyin (yoki oldin) amalga oshiriladi.

146 Muḥdath, or possibly muḥaddith, “Hadith scholar.” 147 Cupping is an operation performed by using a flame to create a vacuum inside a glass vessel and then applying the vessel to the body, sometimes after (or before) making an incision in the skin.

Yunon-Islom tibbiyoti tamoyillariga ko‘ra, bu muolaja tanadagi zararli bug‘larni chiqarib yuborishi kerak edi. Hijomatchilik obro‘li kasb hisoblanmas edi (shoir Abū l- ʿAtāhiyah o‘zini mazaxlash uchun hijomatchi bo‘lib ishlashga urinib ko‘rgan; qarang: Iṣfahānī, Aghānī, 4:107–9), va bitta dinor — butun oltin tanga — muolaja uchun juda qimmat edi. 63-bobda Ibn Ḥanbalning qul Ḥusn hijomatchiga bir dirham to‘laydi.

According to the principles of Greco-Islamicate medicine, this operation was supposed to draw noxious vapors out of the body. Cupping was not a respected profession (the poet Abū l- ʿAtāhiyah tried to work as a cupper to mortify himself; see Iṣfahānī, Aghānī, 4:107–9), and a dinar—a whole gold coin—was too much to pay for the operation. In chapter 63, Ibn Ḥanbal’s slave Ḥusn pays a cupper one dirham.

148 Al-Ḥiẓāmī noma'lum boshqa manbalarda aniqlanmagan. Ibn Abī Du'ād xalifa al-Ma'mūnning maslahatchisi, xalifa al-Mu'taṣim davrida esa bosh qozi bo'lgan. Al-Mutawakkil davrida obro'sizlantirilgan va 240/854 yilda vafot etgan. Sunniy manbalarda u Inkvizitsiya ortidagi kuch sifatida qoralanadi. Qarang: van Ess, Theologie, 3:481–502; Tillier, Cadis, index; Turner, "Aḥmad b. Abī Du'ād." 149 Uning vird-i: ya'ni muntazam ravishda ado etiladigan, muntazam ravishda o'qiladigan ixtiyoriy namoz, odatdagi farz namozlardan tashqari.

148 Al-Ḥiẓāmī is not otherwise identified. Ibn Abī Duʾād was adviser to the caliph al-Maʾmūn and chief judge under the caliph al-Muʿtaṣim. He was disgraced under al-Mutawakkil and died in 240/854. He is decried in Sunni sources as the force behind the Inquisition. See van Ess, Theologie, 3:481–502; Tillier, Cadis, index; Turner, “Aḥmad b. Abī Duʾād.” 149 His wird: that is, a voluntary prayer regularly performed in addition to the regular ritual prayers.

150 Ya'ni, bu ruhiy tajriba bo'lib, Ibn Hanbal qilayotgan shariat ilmini o'rganishga qarama-qarshidir.

150 That is, spiritual experience, as opposed to studying the Law, which is what Ibn Ḥanbal does.

Ushbu xabar al-Muhosibiy ta'limotini qonuniylashtirish maqsadida Ibn Hanbalni qarama-qarshi qo'yib o'ylab topilgan ko'rinadi, oxirgi izoh esa shubhali ḥanbaliy rivoyatchisining qarshi to'qimasi bo'lishi mumkin. Az-Zahabiy va Melchert ham bu hikoya "to'g'ri eshitilmaydi" degan fikrga qo'shilishadi ("Adversaries," 244, az-Zahabiy, Mizon al-i'tidol, 1:430 manbasiga havola bilan).

151 This report seems an invention intended to legitimate al-Muḥāsibī’s teachings using Ibn Ḥanbal as a foil, with the last remark being a counter-invention by a skeptical Ḥanbalī transmitter. Al- Dhahabī and Melchert agree that the story “simply does not sound right” (“Adversaries,” 244, with a reference to al-Dhahabī, Mīzān al-iʿtidāl, 1:430).

152 Zamzam — quduq, Makka shahridagi masjid majmuasining bir qismi. Qarang: J. Chabbi, "Zamzam." 153 Mino — Makkadagi joy. Ibn Hanbal, ko'rinishidan, haj ziyoratida bo'lgan, shuning uchun yil 813 emas, 814 bo'lib chiqadi (hijriy sana bo'yicha boshqa variant ham shu).

152 A well that forms part of the mosque complex in Mecca. See J. Chabbi, “Zamzam.” 153 In al-Minā, in Mecca. Ibn Ḥanbal was evidently on pilgrimage, making the year 814 rather than 813 (the other possibility given the hijrī date).

I can't see the source text or the expression you mean, since your message only contains "154 This last expression is unfamiliar and the translation is conjectural." Please paste the English passage you want translated into Uzbek, and I'll translate it faithfully.

154 This last expression is unfamiliar and the translation is conjectural.

155-kitob "al-Favoid" (al-Fawāʾid), bu nom ko‘plab sohalarda qo‘llaniladigan noaniq sarlavha. Shaxt bu atamani keyingi fiqh asarlaridan birining nomida uchraganidek "qiyin tafsilotlar" ("Ibn Nujaym") deb tarjima qiladi.

155 Kitāb al-Fawāʾid, a vague title used in many fields. Schacht translates the term as it appears in the title of a later fiqh work as “difficult details” (“Ibn Nujaym”).

Manoqib kitobidagi bir nechta rivoyatlarda ko‘rsatilganidek, Ibn Hanbalning uyi ibodat joyiga ochilgan bo‘lib, uni odatda uning masjidi deb atashgan.

156 As several reports in the Manāqib indicate, Ibn Ḥanbal’s house opened onto a place of prayer commonly referred to as his mosque.

157 Ehtimol, Kitāb al-Waraʿ wa l-īmān [Taqvo va iymon kitobi] (Sezgin, GAS, 1:506), biroq nashr etilgan Kitāb al-Waraʿ da Ibn Ḥanbalning halol ovqat va shunga o‘xshash masalalar haqidagi savollarga bergan javoblari bor, iymon haqida esa hech narsa yo‘q.

157 Perhaps Kitāb al-Waraʿ wa l-īmān [Book of scrupulousness and faith] (Sezgin, GAS, 1:506), though the published Kitāb al-Waraʿ contains Ibn Ḥanbal’s answers to questions about permissible food and the like, and nothing about faith.

Sezgin Ibn Ḥanbalga Kitāb al-Ashribah al-ṣaghīr [Ichimliklar haqida kichik kitob] asarini nisbat beradi (o‘sha yerda). Bu asar, ehtimol, turli ichimliklarning ruxsat etilganligi haqidagi hadis rivoyatlari yoki Ibn Ḥanbalning fatvolari to‘plami bo‘lgan.

158 Sezgin credits Ibn Ḥanbal with a Kitāb al-Ashribah al-ṣaghīr [Smaller book on drinks] (ibid.). This was probably a collection of Hadith reports or of Ibn Ḥanbal’s responsa regarding the permissibility of various drinks.

Melchert bu rivoyatni Ibn Ḥanbalning hadislarni mavzular bo‘yicha tartiblash bilan tajriba qilganining dalili sifatida ko‘radi; qarang: Ahmad, 39–40.

159 Melchert takes this report as evidence of Ibn Ḥanbal’s experimentation with arranging Hadith by topic; see Ahmad, 39–40.

160 U kimning xizmatkori bo‘lgani aniq emas, ammo ehtimol u biror ulug‘ shaxsning xodimi bo‘lgan bo‘lishi mumkin, chunki hikoyaning mohiyati shundaki, Ibn Hanbal uni yirtiq kiyimli notanish odamga bir qancha hadis rivoyatlarini o‘rgatish uchun jo‘natib yuborgan.

160 It is not clear whose servant he was, but he may have been the attendant of some exalted personage, as the point of the story seems to be that Ibn Ḥanbal dismissed him in order to teach the ragged stranger some Hadith reports.

161 Mushammir ma'nosi "serharakat" yoki "dunyo ishlarida tajribali" degan ma'nolarni ham anglatishi mumkin. 162 Uning asarlarining zamonaviy (1967 yil holatiga ko'ra) ro'yxati — bosma va qo'lyozma shaklidagi — hamda ularga oid ilmiy tadqiqotlar Sezgin, GAS, 1:502–9 da keltirilgan.

161 Mushammir can also mean “bustling” or “worldly-wise.” 162 A modern (as of 1967) list of his works, whether printed or in manuscript, as well as secondary studies of them, appears in Sezgin, GAS, 1:502–9.

163 Ushbu davrda "ilm" (ya'ni hadis va unga oid masalalar ilmi)ni yozib qoldirish lozimligi yoki lozim emasligi borasida keltirilgan dalillar haqida qarang: Cook, "Opponents." 164 Bu asar hozirgacha saqlanib kelgan va ko'p nashr etilgan bo'lib, zamonaviy nashrlarida kamida 26 000 ta xabarni o'z ichiga oladi. Qarang: Sezgin, GAS, 1:504–6; Melchert, Aḥmad, 39–48; Melchert, "Musnad." 165 Bunday asarda Qur'on oyatlarining muayyan ma'nolarini izohlovchi hadis xabarlari keltirilgan bo'lar edi. Biroq Sezgin Ahmadga nisbat berilgan bunday asarni topmagan. Melchert biograf az-Zahabiy (vafoti 748/1348) bunday asar umuman mavjud bo'lganmi, deb shubha qilganini keltiradi, chunki agar u bo'lganida, adabiyotda biron izi qolgan bo'lardi (Siyar, 13:522). Melchert o'ninchi asr hanbaliylarining, ehtimol, "al-Tabariydan orqada qolishni istamaslik" xavotiridan o'z pirlariga tafsir nisbat berishgan bo'lishi mumkinligini taxmin qiladi. al-Tabariy esa ulkan "Jomi' al-bayon" asarining muallifidir (Melchert, "Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and the Qurʾān", 24).

163 On the arguments made in this period for and against writing down “knowledge” (i.e., knowledge of Hadith and related matters), see Cook, “Opponents.” 164 Extant and much published, and containing, in modern printings, at least 26,000 reports. See Sezgin, GAS, 1:504–6; Melchert, Aḥmad, 39–48; Melchert, “Musnad.” 165 Such a work would have listed Hadith reports that clarify particular verses. However, Sezgin finds no such work attributed to Aḥmad. Melchert cites the biographer al-Dhahabī (d. 748/1348) as doubting that it ever existed, arguing that if it did, it would have left some traces in the literature (Siyar, 13:522). Melchert suggests that tenth-century Ḥanbalīs might have attributed a commentary to their exemplar out of “anxiety not to be outdone by al-Ṭabarī,” compiler of the enormous Jāmiʿ al-bayān (Melchert, “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and the Qurʾān,” 24).

Bu oyatlar — ularning huquqiy oqibatlari boshqa oyatlarni bekor qiladigan yoki boshqa oyatlar tomonidan bekor qilinadigan oyatlardir. Bu asar, agar mavjud bo‘lgan bo‘lsa ham, omon qolmagan ko‘rinadi; Sezgin uni eslatib o‘tmaydi.

166 These are the verses whose legal implications override, or are overridden by, other verses. This work, if it existed, has apparently not survived; Sezgin does not mention it.

167-raqam Sezgin ro‘yxatida yo‘q va, ehtimol, yo‘qolgan; tarjima taxminiydir. Shu nomli boshqa asar — Ibn Hanbalning zamondoshi al-Buxoriyning asari — hadis rivoyat qiluvchilarining alifbo tartibidagi ro‘yxati bo‘lib, ularning vafot etgan sanalarini o‘z ichiga oladi.

167 Not in Sezgin and apparently lost; the translation is conjectural. A work by the same title by Ibn Ḥanbal’s contemporary al-Bukhārī is an alphabetical list of Hadith transmitters and their dates of death.

Ehtimol, Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjoj (vafoti 160/776?), rivoyat qiluvchilarni ularning ishonchliligi bo'yicha baholashni boshlab bergan deb hisoblangan Basra rivoyatchisi; qarang: Juynboll, "Shu'bah ibn al-Hadjdjadj." Bu asar Sezginda yo'q va, ehtimol, yo'qolgan.

168 Presumably Shuʿbah ibn al-Ḥajjāj (d. 160/776?) a Basran transmitter credited with pioneering the evaluation of other transmitters for their reliability; see Juynboll, “Shuʿbah ibn al-Ḥadjdjādj.” The work is not in Sezgin and is apparently lost.

169 So'nggi to'rtta asar saqlanib qolmagan ko'rinadi. Sezgin (GAS, 1:506–9) unga yana bir qancha asarlarni nisbat beradi, ulardan eng muhimlari: Kitob al-Sunnah [Payg'ambarning ibratli hayot tarzi haqida], Kitob al-Zuhd [Dunyodan voz kechish haqida], Kitob (yoki Risolat) al-Salah [Namoz haqida], Kitob al-Vara' va l-iymon [Parhezkorlik va iymon], Kitob al-Radd 'ala l-zanadiqah va l-jahmiyyah [Zindiqlar va Jahm tarafdorlariga raddiya] (kalomga to'la bo'lgani uchun bu kitobni shubhasiz boshqa kishi yozgan; qarang: al-Dhahabiy, Siyar, 11:286–87 va Omari, "Kitob al-Hayda," 442–46), Kitob 'Ilal al-hadith [Hadislardagi nuqsonlar] (98-bobda zikr qilingan), Al-Masa'il [Savol-javoblar] va Al-'Aqidah [Aqida].

169 The last four items listed seem not to have survived. Sezgin (GAS, 1:506–9) attributes several more works to him, of which the most important are Kitāb al-Sunnah [On the Prophet’s exemplary way of life], Kitāb al-Zuhd [On renunciation], Kitāb (or Risālat) al-Ṣalāh [On prayer], Kitāb al- Waraʿ wa l-īmān [Scrupulousness and faith], Kitāb al-Radd ʿalā l-zanādiqah wa l-jahmiyyah [Rebuttal of the heretics and the followers of Jahm] (a book that, being full of kalām, was doubtless written by someone else; see al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:286–87, and Omari, “Kitāb al- Ḥayda,” 442–46), Kitāb ʿIlal al-ḥadīth [Defects in hadith] (mentioned in chapter 98), Al- Masāʾil [Responsa], and Al-ʿAqīdah [The creed].

170 Men bu parchada Jozef Louriga yordami uchun minnatdorchilik bildiraman. Taxmin qilinishicha, Ibn Hanbal Molik to‘plagan hadis rivoyatlarini ma’qul ko‘rgan bo‘lar edi, ammo Sufyon ath-Thavriyning ratsionalistik moyilliklariga e’tiroz bildirgan bo‘lar edi (qarang: Raddatz, “Sufyon ath-Thavriy”).

170 I thank Joseph Lowry for help with this passage. Presumably Ibn Ḥanbal would have found Mālik’s compilation of Hadith reports acceptable but would have objected to Sufyān’s rationalist inclinations (see Raddatz, “Sufyān al-Thawrī”).

171-bob. Asl matnda "va uning unga bo'lgan nafrati" degan qo'shimcha bor, lekin u mundarija sarlavhasida berilgan nomning bir qismi emas.

171 The original adds “and his aversion thereto,” which is not part of the title as given in the table of contents.

172 Bu parcha muallifning, Ibn Ḥanbal odamlarga qilishni man etgan aynan shu ishni qilishi uchun berayotgan bilvosita uzridir. Ibn al-Jawzī qayerdan gapira boshlashi aniq emas; abzats uzilishi mening eng yaxshi taxminim.

172 This passage appears to be the author’s indirect excuse for doing exactly what Ibn Ḥanbal forbade people to do. It is not entirely clear where Ibn al-Jawzī begins speaking; the paragraph break is my best guess.

Ushbu davrda siyoh idishlari, ko‘rinib turibdiki, yumaloq va shishadan yasalgan. Keyingi davrlarga oid namunalar mis, kumush va oltin bilan bezatilgan bo‘lib, olimlarning ularni ko‘rsatib yurgani tasvirlanadi.

173 Inkpots during this period were evidently round and made of glass. Examples from later periods were decorated with copper, silver, and gold, and scholars are described as showing them off.

Ibn Ḥanbal ham siyoh idishlari va qalamlarni tashish uchun ishlatilgan quti(lar)ga ishora qilayotgan bo‘lishi mumkin (Baer, “Dawāt”).

Ibn Ḥanbal may also be referring to boxes used to carry inkpots and pens (Baer, “Dawāt”).

174 “Uning qavmi” (al-qawm) boshqa tarzda “har qanday guruh” deb ham tarjima qilinishi mumkin, ammo savol proto-sunniy hadis olimlari va zohidlar haqida bo‘lganga o‘xshaydi.

174 “His people” (al-qawm) could also be translated “any given group,” but the question seems to be about the proto-Sunni Hadith scholars and renunciants.

175 Ko‘plab ilmiy va diniy asarlarda raqāʾiq so‘zining turli xil, ko‘pincha obrazli tarjimalari uchraydi. Bu so‘zning eng aniq ma’nosi “nozik joylar” yoki “zaif nuqtalar”dir. Ushbu bobda muhokama qilinayotgan mavzularni hisobga olsak, men bu so‘z ruhiy izlanuvchi kishi amal qilishda xato qilib qo‘yishi ehtimol bo‘lgan, ya’ni ba’zi narsalarni bajarmaslik xatosiga yo‘l qo‘yishi mumkin bo‘lgan nuqtalarni anglatadi, deb o‘ylashga moyilman. Shuningdek, raqīq al-dīn (“dinda zaif bo‘lish”) iborasiga e’tibor bering (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. R-Q-Q).

175 Scholarly and pious works alike contain many imaginative translations of raqāʾiq. The most concrete meaning of the word is “thin places” or “tender spots.” Given the subjects discussed in this chapter, I am inclined to think it refers to points where the spiritual seeker is likely to commit an error of omission. Note also the expression raqīq al-dīn (“weak in respect of religion”) (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. R-Q-Q).

Ra'd 13:28

176 Q Raʿd 13:28.

Odamlar narsalarini yengida olib yurishardi, bu yengi bugungi kunda cho‘ntak vazifasini bajargan; qarang: Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:161.

177 People would carry objects in their sleeves, which served as pockets do today; see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:161.

178 Bu yerda gap Q 69, Ḥāqqah surasining tafsiri haqida bormoqda. Ibrohim o‘limga duchor qilinganda, Jabroil farishtasidan yordam so‘rashdan bosh tortgan, o‘rniga faqat Allohga tayanganligi rivoyat qilinadi; qarang: al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2-nashr, 271–72-b., 4-izoh.

178 The reference here is to the exegesis of Q 69, Sūrat al-Ḥāqqah. Threatened with death, Abraham reportedly refused to ask for help from the angel Gabriel, trusting instead in God alone; see al- Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 271–72n4.

Ya'ni, namoz holatida.

179 That is, in an attitude of ritual prayer.

180 “Yattaqī” (“to be fearful”) ma’nosini ham “Xudodan qo‘rqish” ham “taqiqlangan narsa va ishlardan saqlanish” deb tushunish mumkin. 181 “Al-qalb” (“qalb”) ko‘pincha biz “ong” yoki “shaxs” deb ataydigan narsaga to‘g‘ri keladi. U “nafs” bilan farqlanishi kerak; nafs ko‘pincha “ruh” deb tarjima qilinadi, lekin zohidlar uchun odatda past istaklar va noloyiq xohishlar paydo bo‘ladigan joyni anglatadi.

180 “To be fearful” (yattaqī) can mean both “to be fearful of God” and “to guard against forbidden objects and actions.” 181 “The heart” (al-qalb) often corresponds to what we might call “consciousness” or “the self.” It should be distinguished from nafs, which is often translated “soul,” but for renunciants usually means the place where base urges and unworthy desires come from.

182 Zaif va ojiz Abbosiy xalifa, 334–63/946–74 yillarda hukmronlik qilgan.

182 Sickly and powerless Abbasid caliph, reigned 334–63/946–74.

183 Lavzinaj: juda yupqa non ustiga yoyilgan yer yong'oqlar, so'ngra o'raladi va sharbatga botiriladi (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 99–100).

183 Lawzīnaj: ground nuts spread on extremely thin bread then rolled and drenched in syrup (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 99–100).

184-band. Dunyo hozirgi holi xuddi bir tishlam shirinlik kabi arzimas bir lazzatdek ekanligi nazarda tutilayotgandek.

184 The point seems to be that the present world is as trivial a pleasure as a bite of dessert.

Ya'ni, xabarning manbasiga eng yaqin tirik rivoyatchini topib, uni o'zidan so'rab aytib berishini iltimos qilish kerak, uning tinglovchilaridan biridan olish emas.

185 That is, to find the living transmitter closest to the source of the report and ask him to recite it, rather than getting it from one of his auditors.

Meter: ṭawīl.

186 Meter: ṭawīl.

187 Aniq ma'noda: "go'yo uning ko'zlari orasida olov [yoki Do'zax] yonayotgandek edi", bu esa uning yonib turgan nigohga ega bo'lganini ham anglatishi mumkin.

187 Literally, “it was as if fire [or Hell] was burning between his eyes,” which might also mean that he had a burning gaze.

188 Meter: ṭawīl.

188 Meter: ṭawīl.

190 “Boylik”: so‘zma-so‘z, “bir urg‘ochi tuya va uning bolasi”. 191 Vazn: komil. Ushbu she’r boshqa manbalarda Ibn Hanbalga nisbat berilmagan. Qarang: al-Turkiy, Manoqib, 2-nashr, 282n2.

190 “Riches”: literally, “a female camel and her offspring.” 191 Meter: kāmil. Other citations of this poem do not credit it to Ibn Ḥanbal. See al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 282n2.

192 Ilā ma'nosi "tomon" yoki "sari" degan ma'noni anglatadi, li- esa "...ning", "...uchun" yoki "...ga tegishli" degan ma'nolarni bildiradi, ammo olmosh qo'shimchasi bilan kelganda ("qultu lahu" — "men unga dedim" kabi) "ga" ma'nosida ham ishlatiladi. Li- ko'pgina arab lahjalarida hamon ilā o'rnida qo'llanadi.

192 Ilā means “to” in the sense of “toward,” while li- means “of,” “for,” or “belonging to,” though it can also mean “to” when a pronoun suffix is attached (as in qultu lahu, “I said to him”). Li- is still used for ilā in many varieties of Arabic.

193 Bu yerda turli fe'llar va olmoshlar kimga tegishli ekani aniq emas, ba'zi so'zlar tushib qolgan yoki nazarda tutilgan bo'lishi mumkin. Bir ehtimol shuki, Abū Bakr bolaga roviyni qayerdan topish mumkinligini aytgan, so'ngra u kishi Ibn Ḥanbaldan uni ichkariga olib kirish uchun ruxsat so'ragan.

193 It is not clear here who the various verbs and pronouns refer to, and some words may be missing or assumed. One possibility is that Abū Bakr told the boy where to find the narrator, who then asked Ibn Ḥanbal’s permission to bring him inside.

Bu so‘zlovchi Ibn al-Javziy yoki isnod (rivoyat zanjiri)dagi roviylardan biri bo‘lishi mumkin.

194 The speaker here may be Ibn al-Jawzī or one of the transmitters in the chain.

195 Sochni olib tashlash sunnatga oid ish edi; qarang: Reinhart, “Shaʿr (2).” Qo‘lqop kāsah deb ataladigan an’anaviy hammomlarda ishlatiladigan vositaga o‘xshash bo‘lgan bo‘lishi mumkin: “Ishqalovchi qo‘lqop jun va echki sochidan eshilgan iplardan tikilgan bo‘lib, ular qo‘pol yuzaga ega bo‘lishi uchun tartib bilan joylashtirilgan. Bu kuchli ishqalash teridagi yuqori qatlamni, shuningdek g‘ovaklarda to‘plangan kir … bilan birga kulrang bo‘laklar holida ishqalab tozalash imkonini beradi” (Sourdel-Thomine, “Ḥammām”).

195 Hair removal was a matter of sunnah; see Reinhart, “Shaʿr (2).” The glove may have been similar to the kāsah used in traditional bathhouses: “The friction-glove is made of a mixture of woollen and goat’s hair threads sewn together and arranged so as to form a rough surface. This vigorous friction enables the top layer of skin, together with the dirt … accumulated in the pores, to be rubbed off in greyish rolls” (Sourdel-Thomine, “Ḥammām”).

196-bob. Ibn Ḥanbal haqidagi rivoyat qilingan mehribonlik bilan unga nisbat berilgan qat'iy ta'limotlar o'rtasidagi tafovut haqida qarang: Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 271.

196 On the contrast between Ibn Ḥanbal’s reported kindness and the rigidity of the doctrines attributed to him, see Sizgorich, Violence and Belief, 271.

197 Yoki, noldan emas, birdan sanasak, "Birinchi marta men taxminan yetti yoshda edim. U vafot etganda men to'qqiz yoshda edim." 198 Meva va yong'oq iste'moli haqida qarang: Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:246.

197 Or, counting from one instead of zero, “I was about seven years old the first time. I was nine when he died.” 198 On consumption of fruits and nuts, see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:246.

199 Al-Turkī "Sakānah" deb berilgan joy nomini keltiradi, lekin SH "sukkānihi" — "uning ijarachilari" degan so'zni beradi, bu esa ehtimolroq ko'rinadi, chunki Ibn Ḥanbal yer egasi bo'lgan (qarang: 40-bob).

199 Al-Turkī gives Sakānah, a place name, but SH has sukkānihi, “his tenants,” which seems more likely, as Ibn Ḥanbal was a landlord (see chapter 40).

200 Maṣliyyah, for which al-Baghdādī gives the following recipe: “Yog‘li go‘shtni odatdagidek bo‘laklab kesib qaynatiladi va ko‘pigini olib tashlanadi. Pishgach, ustiga bir hovuch maydalangan piyoz, bir oz tuz, quritilgan kashnich, zira, qora murch, qalampir va dorchin tayoqchalari hamda saqich sepiladi. Suyuqligi qurib, yog‘ yuzaga chiqqach, quritilgan zardobni mayda qilib maydalab, ustiga issiq suv quyiladi va qo‘l bilan yaxshilab ezib, nordon qatiq kabi, xuddi shunday quyuqlikka kelguncha aralashtiriladi, so‘ngra qozonga solinadi. Ozgina sarimsoqni maydalab, bog‘lam-bog‘lam yangi yalpiz bilan birga qozonga solinadi. Yuzasiga mayda maydalangan dorchin sepiladi. So‘ng qozonning devorlarini toza mato bilan artib, bir oz vaqt past olovda tindirilib, dasturxonga tortiladi” (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 44).

200 Maṣliyyah, for which al-Baghdādī gives the following recipe: “The way to make it is to cut up fat meat and boil it as usual, and remove the scum. When it is done, throw on a handful of chopped onion, a little salt, ground dry coriander, cumin, pepper, sticks of cinnamon and mastic. When its liquid has dried up and the fat appears, take dried whey, pound it fine, throw hot water on it and macerate it well by hand until it becomes like sour yogurt [in appearance] and of the same consistency, then throw it in the pot. Grind a little garlic and throw it in the pot with bunches of fresh mint. Sprinkle some finely ground cinnamon on the surface. Then wipe the sides of the pot with a clean cloth, leave it on the fire awhile to grow quiet and take it up” (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 44).

201 Khabīṣ: semolina nonidan tayyorlangan puding bo‘lib, uning mag‘zi uvalanadi, so‘ngra non bo‘laklari unga botiriladi, sesam moyida qovuriladi va tozalangan shakar bilan aralashtiriladi. Turli xillari safron, atirgul suvi, asal, ko‘knori urug‘i, pista, kofur, patoka, qovoq va sabzi bilan tayyorlanishi mumkin (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 95–97).

201 Khabīṣ: a pudding made of the pith of a semolina loaf torn up and then breaded, fried in sesame oil, and stirred with refined sugar. Different varieties might include saffron, rosewater, honey, poppy seeds, pistachios, camphor, molasses, gourd, and carrots (Perry, Baghdad Cookery, 95– 97).

202 Bu "Yetar endi!" degan ma'noni bildiruvchi aylanma ibora. 203 So'zma-so'z: "Bu qorong'ilikka olib keluvchi ortiqcha ehtiyotkorlik", ko'rinishidan "aẓlama ʿalaynā l-bayt" ("u bizning uyimizni zulmatga botirdi") iborasidan olingan bo'lib, "u biz eshitishni istamagan gaplarni aytdi" degan ma'noni anglatadi (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. Ẓ-L-M). Vara' (taqvodorlik) tamoyillaridan biri – egasining ruxsatisiz hech narsadan foydalanmaslik edi.

202 A roundabout way of saying “That’s enough!” 203 Literally, “That is a scrupulosity that makes things dark,” apparently from aẓlama ʿalaynā l-bayt, “he darkened our house,” meaning “he said things we didn’t want to hear” (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. Ẓ-L-M). One of the principles of waraʿ was refusal to use anything without the owner’s permission.

Ya'ni, u shunda "U bu yerda emas", ya'ni "U mening qo'limda emas", deb ayta olar edi va shu tariqa ochiq yolg'on gapirishdan qochardi. Bu izohni menga bergani uchun Tahera Qutbuddinga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

204 That is, he could then say “He isn’t here,” meaning “He isn’t in my hand,” and thus avoid lying outright. I thank Tahera Qutbuddin for this explanation.

205-hikoya 73-bobda keltirilgan voqeaga ishora qilmoqda, unda Ibn Ḥanbal Abbosiylar hukumatiga qarshi faoliyat yuritgan ʿAlī avlodidan bo‘lgan bir kishini yashirgani uchun hukumat idoralariga xabar qilingan.

205 This story refers to an incident (covered in chapter 73) in which Ibn Ḥanbal was denounced to the authorities for allegedly harboring a member of the family of ʿAlī who had been active against the Abbasid regime.

206 Assalomu alaykum, balki Furqon surasi 25:63-oyatiga ishora: «Rahmon bandalari yer yuzida mutavozelik bilan yuradigan va johil kimsalar ularga (nohaq) so'z aytsa, «Salom», deb javob beradigan kishilardir».

206 Salām ʿalaykum, perhaps a reference to Q Furqān 25:63: «The true servants of the Gracious One are those who walk upon the earth with humility and when they are addressed by the ignorant ones, their response is, “Peace”» (salām).

207 Savol rasmiy shaxsdan kelganga o‘xshaydi, u yashirin manixeylarni yo‘q qilish bilan shug‘ullangan, xuddi xalifa al-Mahdiy davrida qilinganidek. Har holda, savol beruvchi kim bilan gaplashayotganini umuman bilmaydi.

207 The question seems to be coming from an official charged with rooting out crypto-Manicheans, as was done under the caliph al-Mahdī. In any case, the questioner seems to have no idea who he’s talking to.

208. IX asrda Iroqda uy egasi bo‘lishning qiyinchiliklari haqida batafsil ma’lumot olish uchun qarang: al-Johiz, Al-Buxalo, 81–90-betlar; Serjeant tarjimasi, Misers, 67–75-betlar. Qohira genizasiga asoslangan ijara masalasini muhokama qilish uchun qarang: Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4-jild, 91–97-betlar.

208 For a detailed account of the difficulties of being a landlord in ninth-century Iraq, see al-Jāḥiẓ, Al- Bukhalāʾ, 81–90; trans. Serjeant, Misers, 67–75. For a discussion of renting based on the Cairo Geniza, see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:91–97.

209 Qora yer — Tigris va Furot daryolari bo'yidagi allyuvial tekislikdir. U fath etilganda, ʿUmar, rivoyatlarga ko'ra, uni uni obod qilganlar qo'lida qoldirishni buyurgan, soliq daromadlari esa musulmonlar xazinasiga yo'naltirilgan (al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2-nashr, 306n3). Ibn Ḥanbal, shubhasiz, bu buyruqni uy uchun zakot to'lash orqali qo'llashga harakat qilmoqda.

209 The Black Land is the alluvial plain on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When it was conquered, ʿUmar reportedly ordered that it remain in the hands of those who cultivated it, with the tax revenues going to the Muslim treasury (al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 306n3). Ibn Ḥanbal is evidently trying to apply this command by paying zakāt on the house.

I can only translate the text you provide, and I don't see a passage in your message yet. Please paste the English text (the section numbered 210 or whatever passage you need), and I'll translate it into Uzbek, keeping the honorifics, names, and Qur'an verses as the rules require.

210 This passage is obscure. Among other things, the pronouns do not agree properly for gender. The reading is my best guess.

Ya'ni, o'rim vaqtida o'roq tegmay qolgan bug'doy boshoqlarini yig'ib olish. U buni, ko'rinishidan, Tarsusga al-Ma'mun tomonidan so'roq qilinish uchun ketayotganda qilgan (qarang: 67-bob).

211 That is, collect the ears of grain missed by the sickle at harvest time. He seems to have done this while traveling to Tarsus to be interrogated by al-Maʾmūn (see chapter 67).

212 Yoki "bir qancha dirham". 213 Qohira Genizasida arzon poyabzallar ko'pincha chorak dinor turadi deb tasvirlanadi (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:164).

212 Or “a good number of dirhams.” 213 In the Cairo Geniza, cheap shoes are often described as costing a quarter of a dinar (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:164).

Ibn Ḥanbal’ning cho‘risi; 63-bobga qarang.

214 Ibn Ḥanbal’s concubine; see chapter 63.

215 Hech bir qo‘lyozma bu so‘zning qoniqarli o‘qilishini bermaydi. Al-Turkiy uni yarubbuhā deb beradi, garchi lug‘atlardagi hech bir ta’rif bu so‘zga mos kelmaydi.

215 None of the manuscripts gives a satisfactory reading of this word. Al-Turkī gives it as yarubbuhā, although no dictionary definition of this word seems to fit.

216-raqam. Suv ko'tarish, uni bir joydan boshqa joyga olib o'tish va uni taqsimlash uchun ishlatiladigan turli qurilmalarga ko'plab havolalar mavjud; masalan, qarang: Hill, "Māʾ" va "Nāʿūra"; Guthrie, Arab Social Life, 136–39; Cooperson, Classical, 170n97. Bu qisqa ishoradan aniq nima nazarda tutilganini aytish mumkin emasligi sababli, men eng noaniq ingliz so'zi bo'lgan "conduit" (suv taqsimlanadigan yoki chiqariladigan inshoot) so'zidan foydalandim (OED).

216 References exist to numerous devices for raising water, conveying it from one place to another, and dispensing it; see, e.g., Hill, “Māʾ” and “Nāʿūra”; Guthrie, Arab Social Life, 136–39; Cooperson, Classical, 170n97. It being impossible to tell from this brief allusion exactly what is meant, I have used the vaguest possible English word, “conduit,” meaning “a structure from which water is distributed or made to issue” (OED).

Dusūt: mazkur asarlarda izohlanmagan; men matnning mazmuniga qarab tarjima qildim.

217 Dusūt: not explained in the works I have consulted; I have translated based on context.

218 Bu parcha menga tushunarsiz. Bu zohidlik yozuvlarida keng uchraydigan bir mavzuning ifodasi bo'lishi mumkin, ya'ni mezonlarning, hatto yaxshi sabab tuyulgan holda bo'lsa ham, yumshatilishi odamni isrofgarchilik va buzuqlik tomon sirg'aluvchan yo'lga yetaklashi haqidagi fikr.

218 This passage is unclear to me. It may be an expression of a theme common in renunciant writings, namely that a relaxation of standards, even for what seems to be good cause, sends one down a slippery slope toward wastefulness and corruption.

219 Bu yerda miqrāḍ so'zi qaychi, qaychi-pichoq yoki (zamonaviy arab tilidagi kabi) tirnoq qirqish qaychisi ma'nosida ekani noaniq.

219 It is unclear whether miqrāḍ here means scissors, shears, or (as in modern Arabic) nail clippers.

Ya'ni, bu 1/12 dirhamdir.

220 That is, 1/12 of a dirham.

221 1040 va 1250 yillar oralig'ida Misrda turar joylar va tijorat binolari uchun to'langan ijara summalari haqida Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:93–97, 291–96 ga qarang.

221 For rental amounts paid for dwellings and commercial premises in Egypt between 1040 and 1250, see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:93–97, 291–96.

222 Bu daraxt tanasi nazarda tutilgani keyingi bo‘limda aniq bo‘ladi.

222 That a tree trunk is meant becomes clear in the next section.

223 yaʼni, 9 va 1/3 dirham.

223 That is, 9 and 1/3 dirhams.

224 Ya'ni, Ahmadga tegishli bo'lgan narsadan baraka olish maqsadida.

224 Namely to acquire blessings from an object that had belonged to Aḥmad.

Ibn Ḥanbal o‘zining bu mehribonligini izohlash uchun it “ko‘z tegishi bilan qasos olishi mumkin” degan uzrni keltiradi (Melchert, Ibn Ḥanbal, 5).

225 To explain his kindness Ibn Ḥanbal makes the excuse that the dog “might retaliate by the evil eye” (Melchert, Ibn Ḥanbal, 5).

226 Uning cho‘risi Ḥusnning o‘g‘li; 64-bobga qarang.

226 The son of his slave Ḥusn; see chapter 64.

227 Ehtimol, forscha ismi Chobin.

227 Apparently the Persian name Chobin.

228 Kinberg zuhdning kelib chiqishini shubhali narsalardan, ya'ni Shariat (qonun)ga zid bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan har qanday narsadan ehtiyotkorlik bilan saqlanish (waraʿ) natijasi sifatida izohlaydi (Kinberg, “What is Meant by Zuhd”). Melchert esa aksincha, “zuhd an'anasidagi to'g'ri din asosan ko'p sonli qoidalarga aniq amal qilish bilan bog'liq emas edi; garchi zohidlar odatda ko'p qoidalarga aniq amal qilgan bo'lsalar ham, bu, avvalambor, hayotga nisbatan uzluksiz jiddiylik kabi munosabat masalasi edi. O'lim va hisob-kitob tahdidi jiddiy qabul qilinishi kerak edi. Vaqt befoyda ko'ngilochar narsalarga sarflanmasligi, balki burchlarni ado etishga yo'naltirilishi lozim edi” (Melchert, “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and the Qurʾān,” 72).

228 Kinberg explains renunciation as the result of scrupulous avoidance (waraʿ) of anything possibly against the Law (Kinberg, “What is Meant by Zuhd”). Melchert, by contrast, argues that “right religion in the zuhd tradition was not mainly about precisely following a lot of rules, although renunciants usually did precisely follow a lot of rules; rather, it was about an attitude, above all this unremitting seriousness about life. The threat of death and judgment was to be taken seriously. Time was not to be wasted on frivolous entertainments but directed to the performance of duties” (Melchert, “Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and the Qurʾān,” 72).

229 Goitein tomonidan Qohira Genizasidan qayta tiklangan qindīl va sirāj ma'nolari bu yerda mantiqiy ko'rinadi (Mediterranean Society, 4:135–36).

229 The meanings of qindīl and sirāj as reconstructed by Goitein from the Cairo Geniza seem to make sense here (Mediterranean Society, 4:135–36).

230 Xalūq qalin sariq atir sifatida tasvirlanadi. U za'faron asosida tayyorlangan bo'lishi mumkin, za'faron esa tutatqi tayyorlash uchun ham ishlatilishi mumkin.

230 Khalūq is described as a thick yellow perfume. It may be based on saffron, which can also be used to make incense.

231 Q Ta Ha 20:131. Butun oyat shunday: «Biz ulardan ayrimlariga sinash uchun bergan dunyo ne'matlariga ko'z tikmang. Robbingning rizqi yaxshiroq va abadiyroqdir.» 232 Turli ta'riflarga ega bo'lgan vazn o'lchovi. Dastlabki ta'riflardan biri uni oltmish dona arpaga teng deb belgilaydi; qarang: Ashtor, «Mawazin (1)»; Ibn Manzur, Lisan, s.v. M-K-K.

231 Q Ṭā Hā 20:131. The whole verse reads «Do not regard the worldly benefits We have given some of them, for with these We seek only to test them. The provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.» 232 A unit of weight with various definitions. One early definition sets it equal to sixty grains of barley; see Ashtor, “Mawāzīn (1),” and Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. M-K-K.

233-chi raqam hech bir qo'lyozmada bir xil emas — ularning hech biri ma'noli so'z bermaydi, va nima chizilganligi haqida ham kelishuv yo'q.

233 None of the manuscripts agree on what was painted, and none gives a word that makes sense.

Ibn Ḥanbal, Zuhd, 191 dagi parallel matnga tayanib, men buni saqāʾif — saqīfah ning ko‘plik shakli, deb tuzatdim: “yog‘ochdan kengroq har qanday parcha, u bilan tom yopish mumkin” (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. SQ- F).

Following the parallel text in Ibn Ḥanbal, Zuhd, 191, I have emended to saqāʾif, plural of saqīfah, “any broad piece of wood … with which one may form a roof” (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. SQ- F).

234 Bu parcha juda qisqa, va olmoshlarga tegishli murojaatlar noaniq. Shuning uchun bu tarjima taxminiy hisoblanadi.

234 This passage is very terse and the pronoun references are ambiguous. The translation is therefore conjectural.

235-hikoya Inkvizitsiya tugaganidan keyingi davrga taalluqli, o‘sha paytda xalifa al-Mutavakkil hadis olimlarini saroyga taklif qilgan edi. Al-Misriy va uning hamrohlari xalifa taklif qilgan imtiyozlardan foydalanish joiz deb hisoblashdi, lekin e’tirozlari faqat aqidaviy masalalar bilan cheklanmagan Ahmad bunday qilmadi. U o‘sha vaqtda keksa va kasal ham edi, shuning uchun yotib olgani ko‘rinadi.

235 This story refers to the period after the end of the Inquisition, when the caliph al-Mutawakkil welcomed Hadith scholars to the palace. Al-Miṣrī and his companions thought it acceptable to enjoy whatever privileges the caliph offered, but Aḥmad, whose objections to Abbasid rule went beyond matters of dogma, did not. He was also old and ill at the time, which seems to be why he was lying down.

Umm walad: master'iga farzand tug'ib bergan cho'ri.

236 Umm walad: a concubine who has borne her master a child.

Bu voqea Ibn Ḥanbal falaj bilan og‘rib qolganidan keyin sodir bo‘lganligi shubhasiz.

237 This incident evidently took place after Ibn Ḥanbal was stricken with paralysis.

Ibn Ḥanbal o'zining zohidona hayoti uning salomatligini yemirayotganini anglamagan, degan fikr bu yerda asosiy nuqta bo'lib ko'rinadi.

238 The point seems to be that Ibn Ḥanbal did not realize that his life of austerity was undermining his health.

Ya'ni, o'g'lidan birini tug'gan cho'ri (kaniz).

239 That is, the slave who had borne one of his sons.

240 So'zma-so'z "bir don" degani bo'lib, dirhamning 1/48 qismiga teng tanga yoki vazn o'lchovi (Ibn Manzur, Lison, s.v. M-K-K). Bu va qit'ah ("bo'lak") "Fazilatlar"da zikr etilgan eng kichik birliklar bo'lib ko'rinadi.

240 Literally “a grain,” a coin or measure of weight equivalent to 1/48 of a dirham (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. M-K-K). It and the qiṭʿah (“scrap”) seem to be the smallest units mentioned in the Virtues.

Odat bo'yicha, hammomga haftada bir marta borishgan. Ibn Hanbal hammomda cho'milishdan voz kechgan bo'lishi mumkin, chunki bu yoqimli mashg'ulot bo'lib, odatda do'stlar bilan birga amalga oshirilgan; "bu qulaylikdan voz kechish nafsni qattiq jazolash vositasi edi" (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 5:96–97).

241 The custom seems to have been to visit the bathhouse once a week. Ibn Ḥanbal may have shunned bathing because it was a pleasurable activity, usually undertaken with friends; “a vow to forego this amenity was a severe means of self-castigation” (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 5:96–97).

242 “Ibn Ḥanbal is perhaps the only ordinary citizen of third/ninth century Baghdad whose life we can place in its concrete surroundings” (Cook, Commanding Right, 108); Cook provides an evocative summary of what the Virtues and other sources tell us about Ibn Ḥanbal’s home and neighborhood (108–10). Beyond Baghdad, a great deal of detailed information on houses and furnishings appears in Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:105–50; although Goitein’s documents are Egyptian and date almost entirely from a later period, the Geniza Jews’ attitudes toward comfort, luxury, and abstinence provide an instructive background to this chapter.

243 Iroqda yozda tomda uxlash keng tarqalgan odat edi.

243 It was a common Iraqi custom to sleep on the roof in the summer.

244-raqam. Shādhikūnah (SH da shunday yozilgan) yoki shādhakūnah (Maṭlūb, Muʿjam, 76) degan ma'lumotnomalar bu narsa Yamanda ishlab chiqarilganini, odamlar uning ustida o'tirganini, u katta bo'lganini va tikilgan (muḍarrabah) bo'lganini ko'rsatadi; qarang: al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb, 3:371. "Ko'rpa" – mening eng to'g'ri taxminim.

244 References to the shādhikūnah (so voweled in SH) or shādhakūnah (Maṭlūb, Muʿjam, 76) indicate that it was made in Yemen, that people sat on it, that it was large, and that it was stitched (muḍarrabah; see al-Samʿānī, Al-Ansāb, 3:371). “Quilt” is my best guess.

245 Bardaʿah yoki bardhaʿah turli ta’riflanadi: egar yostig‘i, somon to‘ldirilgan yostiq, matras yoki matras ustiga qo‘yilgan yostiq (Lane, Lexicon, s. v. B-R-Dh; Sadan, “Mafrūshāt”; Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:115).

245 The bardaʿah or bardhaʿah is variously described as a a saddle-cloth, a pad stuffed with straw, a mattress, or a pad placed atop a mattress (Lane, Lexicon, s. v. B-R-Dh; Sadan, “Mafrūshāt”; Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:115).

246. Osilgan matolar, pardalar va parda-chodirlar haqida qarang: Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:119–22.

246 On hangings, curtains, and drapes, see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:119–22.

247 Ikki qo'lyozmada, ulardan keyin al-Turkiy ham, "yuʿazzīnī" deb o'qilgan; bu, Ibn Hanbal al-Zuhriyga eshik (yoki darvoza) qurish uchun qarz olganini aytib, uni tasalli berishga uringanini anglatadi. Lekin "ʿazzā" odatda yaqinini yo'qotganlarga ta'ziya bildirishni anglatadi, shuning uchun men SH ning "yuʿaddīnī" o'qishini tanladim. Shuningdek, SH ning "bil-labin" ("g'isht bilan") degan, ehtimol to'g'ri, o'qilishi o'rniga men "bi l-dayn" ("qarz bilan") deb o'qiyman, chunki Ibn Hanbal keyinroq, ko'rinishidan o'sha inshoot haqida gapirib, uni qurish uchun o'g'lidan pul olishni rad etgani sababli qarzga botganini aytadi (49.12).

247 Two of the MSS, and following them al-Turkī, read yuʿazzīnī, evidently meaning that Ibn Ḥanbal tried to console al-Zuhrī by saying that he had borrowed money to build the door (or gate). But ʿazzā usually means to offer condolences to the bereaved; I therefore follow SH in reading yuʿaddīnī. I also read bi l-dayn over SH’s plausible bil-labin “in brick,” because Ibn Ḥanbal later says, apparently speaking of the same structure, that he had to go into debt to build it because he refused to take money from his son (49.12).

248-son. Kānūn haqida qarang: Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:136.

248 On the kānūn, see Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:136.

249-hadis. Bu voqea Ibn Hanbalning Bag'dod amiri yoki hokimi Ishoq ibn Ibrohim uyida qamoqda bo'lgan paytda sodir bo'lgan. Ibn Hanbalning oilasi, ehtimol u boshqalar tomonidan berilgan ovqatni yemaganligi sababli, uning ta'minotini o'z zimmasiga olgan edi. Bu yerda tasvirlangan taom Ibn Hanbalning Ramazon oyidagi iftori, ya'ni ro'zani og'izga oladigan kechki ovqati edi.

249 This incident took place during Ibn Ḥanbal’s confinement at the house of Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm, the emir or governor of Baghdad. Ibn Ḥanbal’s family was evidently responsible for his upkeep, perhaps because he refused to eat food provided by anyone else. The meal described here was Ibn Ḥanbal’s ifṭār, or fast-breaking meal during Ramadan.

250 Odatda bayram kunlarida go‘sht yeyiladi. Al-Turkiy buni savol sifatida o‘qiydi, ma’nosi taxminan “Lekin ular qanday foyda keltirdi?” degani bo‘ladi. Biroq boshqa parchalardan (49.17 va 49.22) ko‘rinadiki, Ibn Hanbal loviyani yaxshi ko‘rgan.

250 Normally one would eat meat during the festival. Al-Turkī reads this as a question meaning something like “But what good were they?” From other passages (49.17 and 49.22), however, it seems that Ibn Ḥanbal was fond of beans.

251 Bu tarqalish (kāmakh) haqida 18.3 ga qarang.

251 On this spread (kāmakh), see 18.3.

Bodom qaynatib, ezish orqali tayyorlangan.

252 Made by boiling almonds and crushing them.

253 Bu bobdagi kiyim-kechak atamalarining tarjimasini taxminiy deb qabul qilish kerak. Kech davrlardagi Iroq libosi qanday ko'rinishda bo'lgani haqida bizda ba'zi tasavvur bor, xususan al-Ḥarīrīning Maqāmāt asari uchun chizilgan rasmlardan (qarang: Grabar, Illustrations va Guthrie, Arab Social Life). Bu davrga oid ba'zi haqiqiy kiyim-kechaklar (yoki kiyimlarning qismlari) ham bizda bor, garchi ular Iroqdan emas, balki boshqa joylardan topilgan (qarang, masalan: Fluck, "Dress Styles"; Colburn, "Materials"; Evans, Byzantium and Islam, 164–71). Shuningdek, kiyim turlarini bildiruvchi ko'plab so'zlar ham ma'lum, ham lug'atlardan (masalan, Maṭlūb, Muʿjam), ham hujjatli manbalardan (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:150–200). Afsuski, so'zni muayyan kiyim yoki uning tasviri bilan moslashtirish faqat ba'zan mumkin bo'ladi. Nihoyat, ko'plab buyumlar uchun ingliz tilida aniq ekvivalent buyumlar yo'q, ko'rinadi.

253 The translation of clothing terms in this chapter must be taken as conjectural. We have some idea what Iraqi dress may have looked like, at least in later periods, from the illustrations for al- Ḥarīrī’s Maqāmāt (see Grabar, Illustrations and Guthrie, Arab Social Life). We have some actual garments (or parts of garments) from this period, though not from Iraq (see e.g., Fluck, “Dress Styles”; Colburn, “Materials”; Evans, Byzantium and Islam, 164–71), and we have many attested words for items of clothing, both from dictionaries (see, e.g., Maṭlūb, Muʿjam) and from documentary sources (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:150–200). Unfortunately it is only occasionally possible to match a word with a particular garment, or depiction of one. For many items, finally, there do not seem to be precisely equivalent items in English.

Bayn al-thawbayn, ko'rinishidan, odatdagi ichki kiyim va odatdagi tashqi kiyim uzunligi o'rtasidagi uzunlikni anglatadi.

254 Bayn al-thawbayn, apparently meaning of a length between that of the usual inner and the usual outer garment.

Goitein milḥafah yoki malḥafahni "o‘rama" deb tarjima qiladi (Mediterranean Society, 4:157).

255 Goitein translates milḥafah or malḥafah as “wrap” (Mediterranean Society, 4:157).

Goitein ta'kidlaydi, qamīṣ — bu "to'n" (robe) (ayni manba, 4:156). Biroq OED "robe"ni "tashqi kiyim" deb ataydi, bu esa ushbu buyum aniq ko'rinib turganidek, tashqi kiyim emas. Men "tunic" atamasini tanladim. U "gavdani o'rab turadigan, ko'ylakka yoki to'nga o'xshash kiyim, ustidan esa keng chopon yoki plash kiyiladi" degan ma'noni anglatadi (OED), va material madaniyati tarixchilari islom davrining dastlabki yillaridan saqlanib qolgan ko'ylakka o'xshash kiyimlarni tavsiflash uchun aynan shu atamadan foydalanadilar (qarang, masalan, Evans, Byzantium and Islam, 168–69).

256 Goitein insists that a qamīṣ is a robe (ibid, 4:156). The OED, however, calls a robe “an outer garment,” which this object is clearly not. I have chosen “tunic,” which means “a garment resembling a shirt or gown … over which a loose mantle or cloak was worn” (OED), and is the term used by historians of material culture to describe the shirt-like garments that have survived from early Islamic times (see, e.g., Evans, Byzantium and Islam, 168–69).

Qalansuwwah: "turban ostida kiyiladigan qalpoq, zamonaviy tarbush (tarbush) ga teng" (Dozy, Noms, 366).

257 Qalansuwwah: “the cap worn under the turban, equivalent to the modern ṭarbūsh” (Dozy, Noms, 366).

258 Muʿaqqad so'zi lug'aviy ma'noda "ko'p tugunli" degan ma'noni anglatadi va u "Hajar (Bahrayn)dan keladigan yo'l-yo'l libos turi" deb izohlanadi; qarang: Ibn Manzur, Lisan, s.v. ʿ-Q-D.

258 The word muʿaqqad, literally “many-knotted,” is explained as “a kind of striped garment from Hajar”; see Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. ʿ-Q-D.

Goitein ridāʾ so'zini "coat" deb tarjima qiladi (Mediterranean Society, 4:116). Ammo "coat" so'zi kishini iliq saqlash uchun kiyiladigan narsani anglatadi, holbuki Ibn Ḥanbal uni yozda ham kiyib yurgan (48.5). Guthrie ridāʾ ni yelka ustiga tashlab kiyilgan deb tasvirlaydi (Arab Social Life, 49). "Mantle" so'zi esa "yengsiz, erkin kesimli plash" degan ma'noni bildiradi (OED), shuning uchun bu so'z mos tarjima bo'lishi mumkin deb o'ylayman.

259 Goitein translates ridāʾ as “coat” (Mediterranean Society, 4:116). “Coat,” however, suggests something worn to keep warm, and Ibn Ḥanbal wore his in the summer (48.5). Guthrie describes the ridāʾ as worn over the shoulder (Arab Social Life, 49). “Mantle,” meaning “a loose sleeveless cloak” (OED), seems a reasonable guess.

260 Ṭaylasān haqida qarang: Dozy, Noms, 278–80 va Guthrie, Social Life, 77–78 hamda 8-rasm.

260 On the ṭaylasān, see Dozy, Noms, 278–80, and Guthrie, Social Life, 77–78 and plate 8.

261 Taxminan uch metr, ya'ni deyarli o'n fut; qarang: V. Hinz, "Dhirā'". 262 Marv shahridan; qarang: Ibn Manzur, Lisan, s.v. M-R-W.

261 Approximately three meters, or almost ten feet; see W. Hinz, “Dhirāʿ.” 262 From the city of Marv; see Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. M-R-W .

263 Murabbaʿ “kvadrat” yoki “katakli” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Kisāʾ “aslida oddiy to‘rtburchak mato parchasi bo‘lgan” (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. K-S-W) va bu holatda kvadrat shaklida bo‘lgan bo‘lishi mumkin. Lug‘atlarda shuningdek washy murabbaʿ ham eslatiladi, ya’ni kiyimga bosilgan yoki kashtalangan katakli naqsh (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. K-ʿ-B).

263 Murabbaʿ means either “square” or “checked.” A kisāʾ “was evidently a simple oblong piece of cloth” (Lane, Lexicon, s.v. K-S-W) and in this case may have been square. The dictionaries also mention washy murabbaʿ, a pattern of checks printed or embroidered on a garment (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. K-ʿ-B).

Maqsad shuki, u boshqalardan pul olishni istamagan, chunki uning halolligiga ishonch hosil qila olmasdi.

264 The point seems to be that he did not want to take money from anyone else because he could not be sure of its acceptability.

265 Kaylajah nimaning to'rtdan bir qismi ekani aniq emas, ammo Ibn Manzur, "Lisan", s.v. M-K-K maqolasidagi chalkash tenglashtirishlar ro'yxatidan javob chiqarish mumkin bo'lishi mumkin.

265 It is unclear what a kaylajah is a fourth of, but it may be possible to derive an answer from the bewildering list of equivalences in Ibn Manẓūr, “Lisān”, s.v. M-K-K.

266 Ushbu hisobotning birinchi marta uchrashi haqidagi izohga qarang, 40-bobda.

266 See note at the first appearance of this report in chapter 40.

267 Lug'atan, quritilgan misk va cho'tka teridan poyabzal tayyorlashda ishlatiladigan qizil bo'yoqdan tayyorlangan xushbo'y pasta.

267 Literally, an aromatic paste made of dried musk, and a red dye used in preparing kidskin shoes.

Suhbat ko'rinishidan, bu Ibn Ḥanbal ijaraga bergan xonalar joylashgan mulkdagi darvoza yoki eshikni ta'mirlash yoki o'rnatish haqida. Daromad oila a'zolari o'rtasida taqsimlangan, ular orasida ʿAbd Allāh ham bor edi. Biroq, Ibn Ḥanbal uning boshqa daromad manbalarini ma'qullamagani uchun, unga mulkni saqlashga hissa qo'shishga ruxsat bera olmaydi.

268 The conversation is apparently about repairing or installing a gate or door on the property where Ibn Ḥanbal rented out rooms. The revenue was apparently divided among the members of the family, among them ʿAbd Allāh. Since he does not approve of the latter’s other sources of income, however, Ibn Ḥanbal cannot allow him to contribute to the upkeep of the property.

Ṣāliḥ halifadan sovg'alar qabul qilganligi sababli, uning uyidan kelgan har qanday narsa shubhali bo'lib qoldi.

269 Since Ṣāliḥ had accepted gifts from the caliph, anything that came from his house was tainted.

Ibrohim 14:45. Bu, oxiratda do‘zaxiylarning eshitadigan malomatlaridan biridir.

270 Q Ibrāhīm 14:45. This is one of the reproaches the damned will hear in the afterlife.

271 Ushbu tavsiflangan moliyaviy kelishuvning aniq mohiyati men uchun aniq emas.

271 The precise nature of the financial arrangement described here is not clear to me.

272. Misrda xaridlarni o'rash uchun banan barglaridan foydalanilgan (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:246).

272 In Egypt banana leaves were used for wrapping purchases (Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:246).

273 Al-Turkiy ḍubnah (yoki ḍabnah yoki ḍibnah) so‘zini “qaramog‘idagilar” degan ma’noda tushunadi (Manāqib, 2-nashr, 352n1). Ammo Yahyo al-Ma’mun davrida bosh qozi bo‘lgani uchun, bu so‘z “xizmatkorlar to‘dasi” ma’nosini anglatadi (Ibn Manzur, Lison, s.v. Ḍ-BN).

273 Al-Turkī takes ḍubnah (or ḍabnah or ḍibnah) to mean “dependents” (Manāqib, 2nd ed., 352n1), but since Yaḥyā was chief judge under al-Maʾmūn, “entourage” (Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. Ḍ-BN)

The user's message "seems more likely." is a fragment to translate into Uzbek. Translation: "bu ko'proq ehtimolga o'xshaydi."

seems more likely.

274 Ibn Ḥanbal ta'lim berish uchun haq olishni joiz deb bilmas edi, shu sababli sovg'ani qabul qilishdan bosh tortdi. Ushbu parchani avvalgi tarjimasida tuzatgani uchun Tahera Qutbuddinga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

274 Ibn Ḥanbal did not believe in accepting payment for teaching and so refused to accept the gift. I thank Tahera Qutbuddin for correcting an earlier translation of this passage.

275 Ibn Ḥanbal ko‘rinadiki, musulmonlar umumiy yo‘lda to‘siq yoki bezovtalik tug‘dirmasligi kerak degan qoidani qo‘llamoqda.

275 Ibn Ḥanbal seems to be applying the principle that Muslims should not create a nuisance or impediment in a public thoroughfare.

"S" (sīn harfi) ayni shu qisqartma shaklida, ya'ni oddiy chiziq ko'rinishida yozilgani uchun, u har doim alohida harf sifatida osongina o'qilavermasligi sababli tuzatishga muhtoj bo'lgan bo'lishi mumkin. Bu parchaning matni va tarjimasi to'g'ri ekanligini faraz qilsak, shunday bo'ladi. Ushbu parcha haqida men bilan muhokama qilgani uchun Devin Styuartga minnatdorman.

276 Assuming that the text and translation are accurate here, “S” (the letter sīn) may have needed correction because its abbreviated form is a simple line that is not always readily legible as a distinct letter. I thank Devin Stewart for discussing this passage with me.

277 Bu masala ko‘p muhokama qilingan masalalardan biri edi, va Ibn Hanbal xato qilib qo‘yishdan qo‘rqib, javob bermaslikni afzal ko‘rgan ko‘rinadi. Qarang: al-Turkiy, Manoqib, 2-nashr, 358-bet, 2-izoh.

277 This was a much-discussed problem, and Ibn Ḥanbal apparently thought it better not to answer for fear of being wrong. See al-Turkī, Manāqib, 2nd ed., 358n2.

Ushbu gapning mazmuni shundaki, faqat bitta bo'lgan.

278 The point seems to be that there was only one.

279 Ibn Ḥanbalning naqshli matolarga nisbatan norozilik bildirgani (Ibn Ḥanbal, Waraʿ, 141–43) uning davrga oid saqlanib qolgan gips bezaklarda juda keng tarqalgan gul va o‘simlik naqshlariga ham e’tiroz bildirgan bo‘lishi mumkinligini ko‘rsatadi (qarang: masalan, Mietke, “Vine Rinceaux”). Saroy, shuningdek, ov sahnalari, ichkilik ziyofatlari, musiqachilar, raqqosalar va shunga o‘xshash tasvirlar bilan bezatilgan bo‘lishi mumkin (qarang: masalan, Ballian, “Country Estates”).

279 Ibn Ḥanbal’s disapproval of figured fabrics (Ibn Ḥanbal, Waraʿ, 141–43) suggests that he would have objected to the floral and vegetal patterns extremely common in surviving examples of plaster decoration from this period (see, e.g., Mietke, “Vine Rinceaux”). The palace may also have been decorated with paintings of hunting scenes, drinking parties, musicians, dancers, and the like (see, e.g., Ballian, “Country Estates”).

Taqvodor olimlarning qozilik lavozimini qabul qilishdan bosh tortishi tarjimai hollarda keng uchraydigan mavzu hisoblanadi. Tillier, Cadis d’Iraq, 652ff., eski adabiyotga havolalardan tashqari, bu rad etishlarni olimlar bilan hokimiyat vakillari o‘rtasidagi marosimiy almashinuv sifatida talqin qilishning diqqatga sazovor yangi izohini taklif etadi.

280 The reluctance of pious scholars to assume judgeships is a common topos of biography. Tillier, Cadis d’Iraq, 652ff., offers, in addition to references to the older literature, a striking new interpretation of these refusals as ritual exchanges between learned men and the authorities.

281 Bu hikoya Ibn Ḥanbalni al-Shāfiʿiy hisobidan maqtash uchun to‘qib chiqarilgandek taassurot uyg‘otadi; qarang: Cooperson, Classical, 149–51.

281 This story gives the impression of being invented to praise Ibn Ḥanbal at al-Shāfiʿī’s expense; see Cooperson, Classical, 149–51.

809/193 yilda al-Amīn hokimiyatni egalladi; o'sha paytda Ibn Hanbal o'ttiz yoki o'ttiz bir yoshda edi.

282 Al-Amīn took office in 809/193, when Ibn Ḥanbal would have been thirty or thirty-one.

283. Xalifa al-Amīnning to‘g‘ri ismi. Bu davrda taqvodor hadischilar Abbosiy xalifalarni ularning laqablari bilan atashdan o‘zini tiyganga o‘xshaydi, chunki ko‘pchilik ularni bu sulola qonuniy emas deb hisoblagan.

283 The proper name of the caliph al-Amīn. During this period, pious Hadith-men seem to have avoided calling the Abbasid caliphs by their titles, since many of them considered the dynasty illegitimate.

284 Al-Ribāṭī ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāhir, Xuroson hokimi, homiyligini qabul qilgan bo‘lishi kerak, bu esa Ibn Hanbal fikricha, o‘zini musulmon sifatida ham, olim sifatida ham buzish degani edi.

284 Al-Ribāṭī must have accepted the patronage of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāhir, governor of Khurasan, which to Ibn Ḥanbal’s way of thinking meant compromising himself as a Muslim and as a scholar.

285-misol. Ma'ruzachi bir arabning — ya'ni dastlabki musulmon fotihlarining avlodining — kambag'al bo'lganidan hayratda. Darhaqiqat, Ibn Hanbal obro'li qabilaga mansub edi, uning qarindoshlari Abbosiylar ma'muriyatida lavozimlarni egallagan edi (qarang: 1–3-boblar).

285 The speaker is surprised that an Arab—that is, a descendant of the original Muslim conquerors—is poor. Indeed, Ibn Ḥanbal belonged to a prestigious tribe and his relatives occupied positions in the Abbasid administration (see chapters 1–3).

Muammo kursining o'zida emas, balki uning kumush bilan bezatilgani edi, bu haqida keyingi rivoyatdan aniq bo'ladi. Bu nuqtani aniqlashtirib bergani uchun Hossein Modarressiga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

286 The problem was not the chair itself but the fact that it was decorated with silver, as becomes clear in the next report. I thank Hossein Modarressi for clarifying this point.

287-raqam. Al-Sawwoq so'zi, ehtimol, uning tinglovchilariga ma'lum bo'lgan, Bob al-Muqayyir yonidagi uyda o'tkaziladigan ziyofatni anglatadi; bu "Smola ishlovchi darvoza" ma'nosini bildirishi mumkin, ammo Le Strange'ning fikricha "Qoplangan darvoza" emas (qarang: Le Strange, Baghdad, 224–26). Bu darvoza Bag'dodning shimoli-sharqidagi al-Mukharrim mahallasida joylashgan edi.

287 Al-Sawwāq seems to mean a banquet (apparently known to his audience) held in a house near the Bāb al-Muqayyir, which may mean “Pitch-Worker’s Gate” but not “Pitched Gate,” pace Le Strange, Baghdad, 224–26. The gate was located in al-Mukharrim, a quarter of northeast Baghdad.

288 Ibn Ḥanbal’ning zohid zamondoshi Bishr ibn al-Ḥorits Yalang‘och (Glossariyga qarang).

288 Ibn Ḥanbal’s ascetic contemporary Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith the Barefoot (see Glossary).

289 al-Turkiy tomonidan Ibn Abd al-Hakam ibn Nofi al-Varroq (vafoti 251/865–66) sifatida aniqlangan.

289 Identified by al-Turkī as Ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfiʿ al-Warrāq (d. 251/865–66).

290 Akhāfu an takraha l-rijl, so voweled in H, which al-Turkī evidently understands to mean “I’m afraid you don’t like crowds.” For this unusual meaning of rijl, see Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, R-J-L.

290 Akhāfu an takraha l-rijl, so voweled in H, which al-Turkī evidently understands to mean “I’m afraid you don’t like crowds.” For this unusual meaning of rijl, see Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, R-J-L.

291 Qolgan fikr, ehtimol, "hatto u yolg'iz bo'lganda ham" degan ma'noni anglatadi. 292 Bu atamaning turli siyosiy talqinlari (Nagel, "Qurrāʾ" va Shah, "Quest" asarlarida muhokama qilingan)

291 The rest of the thought apparently being “even when he’s alone.” 292 The various political interpretations of this term (discussed in Nagel, “Qurrāʾ,” and Shah, “Quest”)

bazı tarixiy davrlarga oid ishoralarga asoslangan va ularning hech biri bu yerda aniq ma'no bermaydi. Parchaning o'zidan ravshan ko'rinadiki, qurrāʾlar, ular qanday kishilar bo'lgan bo'lmasin, Ibn Ḥanbal davrida diniy taqvodorlik bilan bog'liq, ammo kiyim-kechakda beparvo bo'lgan kishilar sifatida tanilgan.

are based on references to earlier periods and none makes obvious sense here. From the passage itself it is clear that the qurrāʾ, whatever else they may have been, were associated, in Ibn Ḥanbal’s milieu, with pious shabbiness.

293-son Qo'lyozmalarda "asmārjūn" o'qiladi, bu fors tilidagi "āsemāngūn" so'zining arabcha talaffuzi bo'lib, fors tilida "osmon rangli" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Al-Turkiy esa uni "asmān jūn" shakliga o'zgartiradi, bu shakl forscha asliga yaqinroq, lekin qo'lyozmalarda tasdiqlanmagan.

293 The manuscripts read asmārjūn, the Arabic pronunciation of āsemāngūn, meaning “sky-colored” in Persian. Al-Turkī emends to asmān jūn, which is closer to the Persian but not attested in the manuscripts.

"Ular" — ehtimol Abbosiy hokimiyat vakillari bo‘lsa kerak, ular Inkvizitsiyadan keyin uning iltifotini qozonishga uringanlar.

294 “They” would appear to be the Abbasid authorities, who tried to court his favor after the Inquisition.

295 Xabar qilinishicha, Umar ibn al-Xattob xalifalik qilganligi haqida aytgan gaplari. Bu yerda Ibn Hanbal aslida mihna (inkvizitsiya) haqida gapirayotganga o'xshaydi.

295 Reportedly what ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said about having served as caliph. Here Ibn Ḥanbal seems to be talking about the Inquisition.

296-son Sahl ibn Salāma 813-yildagi qamaldan keyin Bag‘dodda qonun-tartibni tiklashga intilgan o‘zboshimchalik harakatining yetakchilaridan biri edi. Qarang: at-Tabariy, Ta’rix, 8:552/3:1009–10, 572–73/3:1035–36; van Ess, Theologie, 3:173–75.

296 Sahl ibn Salāmah was a leader of the vigilante movement that sought to restore law and order in Baghdad after the siege of 813. See al-Ṭabarī, Taʾrīkh, 8:552/3:1009–10, 572–73/3:1035–36; van Ess, Theologie, 3:173–75.

297 Ṭunbūr, “uzun bo‘yinli lute” atamasi ba’zan “pandore” so‘zi bilan tarjima qilinadi, biroq bu so‘z o‘rta va uzun bo‘yinli lutelarning ko‘plab turlarini, shuningdek, unga aloqasi bo‘lmagan ba’zi Yevropa cholg‘ularini ifodalash uchun ham ishlatiladi. Bu atamalarni izohlab bergani uchun Dvayt Reynoldsga minnatdorchilik bildiraman. Musiqa asboblarini diniy g‘ayrat bilan sindirish haqida qarang: Cook, Commanding Right, 79, 90–91, 98, 100 (bu voqea aynan shu yerda muhokama qilingan), 121, 149, 238, 300, 309, 383, 384 va 481.

297 The term ṭunbūr, “long-necked lute,” is sometimes translated using the cognate term “pandore,” which, however, is also used to describe many different forms of medium- and long-necked lutes, as well as certain unrelated European instruments. I thank Dwight Reynolds for explaining these terms. On the pious smashing of musical instruments, see Cook, Commanding Right, 79, 90–91, 98, 100 (where this incident is discussed), 121, 149, 238, 300, 309, 383, 384, and 481.

299 Al-Shofiiy — sunniy huquqshunoslikning asosiy nazariyotchisi edi (qarang: Lug'at). Tong paytidagi duolar ayniqsa ijobat bo'ladi deb hisoblanardi. Bu rivoyat o'z-o'zicha mumkin bo'lsa-da, Shofiiy yo'lini tutgan faqihlar bilan Ibn Hanbal yo'lini ma'qul ko'rgan faqihlar o'rtasidagi farqlarni yashirish uchun tarqatilgan xil hikoyalardan biridir.

299 Al-Shāfiʿī was a foundational Sunni legal theorist (see Glossary). Supplications at dawn were thought to be especially effective. This report, though not impossible in itself, is the sort of story that was circulated to paper over the differences between jurists who followed al-Shāfiʿī’s approach and those who favored Ibn Ḥanbal’s.

Bu hikoya, Ibn Hanbalni yaxshi ko'rsatish uchun, yoki namoz ilmdan muhimroq ekanini isbotlash uchun, yoki ikkalasi uchun o'ylab topilgani aniq. Lekin hikoyaning faqat birinchi yarmi bu fikrni samarali yetkazadi; ikkinchi qismi esa birovni xafa qilmaslik uchun qo'shilgan bo'lishi mumkin.

300 This story was clearly invented to make Ibn Ḥanbal look good, to argue that prayer is more important than scholarship, or both. But only the first half of the story makes the point effectively; the second part may have been added to avoid giving offense.

301-son. "Ṣabr" (sabr, chidamlilik, bardoshlilik) so'zi va uning turli hosilalari Qur'onda to'qson olti marta uchraydi (tanzil.net saytida qidirilgan).

301 The word ṣabr (fortitude, patience) and its various derivatives appear ninety-six times (searched on tanzil.net).

302 Q 18, Sūrat al-Kahf. Bu sura noshukurlik, janjallashuvchanlik va sabrsizlik mavzularini yoritadi. Unda bir qancha mashhur hikoyalar bayon etiladi. Ulardan biri — G‘orlik ashoblari haqidadir: imonli qochqinlar bo‘lib, Alloh ularni chuqur uyquga botirgan va 309 yildan so‘ng odamlar uchun belgi va sinov sifatida qayta uyg‘otgan. Yana biri — hosili nobud bo‘lganda o‘zining butunlay Allohga muhtojligini tushunib yetgan noshukur dehqon hikoyasi. Yana biri — Muso alayhissalomning ismi noma'lum bo‘lgan Allohning bir bandasi bilan safari haqidadir: u bir qator ko‘rinishda yomon ishlar qiladi, keyinchalik esa ularning yaxshilik uchun ekani tushuntiriladi. Shuningdek, unda "shoxli zot" deb ataladigan, ko‘pincha Iskandar Zulqarnayn deb hisoblanadigan kishi va uning turli xalqlar bilan uchrashuvlari haqida ham so‘z boradi. Sura Qiyomat kuni tasviri va Payg‘ambarga Allohning yagonaligini e'lon qilish hamda insonlarni yaxshi amallarga da'vat etish buyrug‘i bilan yakunlanadi.

302 Q 18, Sūrat al-Kahf. This chapter deals with the themes of ingratitude, quarrelsomeness, and impatience. It tells several well-known stories. One is that of the People of the Cave, fugitive believers whom God cast into a deep sleep and revived 309 years later as a sign and a test to humankind. Another is that of the ungrateful grower who comes to understand his absolute dependence on God when his crops fail. Yet another is that of Moses’s travels with an unnamed servant of God who commits a series of apparently wicked actions, which are later explained as benevolent. It also contains the story of “the horned one,” often identified as Alexander the Great, and his encounters with various peoples. It ends with a description of the Day of Judgment and a exhortation to the Prophet to proclaim that God is one and to urge humankind to good deeds.

303 Namozni yakunlovchi salom: "Assalomu alaykum va rahmatullohi" — bu so'z bilan namoz tugaydi. 304 Namoz o'qiyotgan kishini bezovta qilish, uning oldidan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri o'tish joiz emas.

303 The salutation, which ends the prayer, is “Peace be upon you, and the blessing of God.” 304 One should not interrupt someone who is praying, or pass directly in front of him or her.

305 Kimning kimni band qilgani aniq emas, ammo ehtimol ergashuvchi sifatida Ibn Ḥanbal olinishi ma'qulroqdir.

305 It is not clear who was keeping whom busy, though the preference should perhaps be given to Ibn Ḥanbal as the subject.

“Qolganlari”: nawāfil, ya’ni farz ibodatlardan tashqari bajariladigan ixtiyoriy ibodatlar.

306 “The rest”: the nawāfil, or “supererogatory prayers,” that is, optional observances performed in addition to the ritual devotions.

Namozxonlar namoz paytida qaysi suralarni o‘qishni tanlashlari mumkin. Bir necha rivoyatlarda Ibn Hanbal shu surani afzal ko‘rgan deyiladi. Suraning o‘zi haqida esa 58.7 ga qarang.

307 Worshippers may choose which chapters to read during their prayers. Several reports say that Ibn Ḥanbal preferred this one. On the chapter itself, see 58.7.

Ya'ni, mo''jiza tarzida Makkaga ko'chirilgan. Sufiy tarjimai holda Allohning do'stlari katta masofalarni bir zumda bosib o'ta oladilar va boshqalarni ham o'zlari bilan birga olib ketishlari mumkin, deb yoziladi.

308 That is, transported supernaturally to Mecca. In Sufi biography, the Allies of God can cross great distances instantly and can carry others with them.

309 Bu noqulay tuzilgan hikoya, ko'rinishidan, diniy ilmlar namunalari bilan tasavvuf an'anasi namunalari o'rtasida do'stona munosabatni o'rnatish maqsadida yozilgan. Qarang: Cooperson, Classical, 138–51, 178–84.

309 This awkwardly constructed story was apparently intended to establish cordiality between exemplars of the religious sciences and exemplars of the mystical tradition. See Cooperson, Classical, 138–51, 178–84.

312 H va SH da mā yaṣnaʿu, “U nima qilsa,” bor, lekin H dagi fatḥa ḍammaga ham aylanishi mumkin, bu holda mā yuṣnaʿu, “nima qilinadi,” bo‘ladi (shunday al-Turkiy ham fikrlaydi). Garchi g‘alati bo‘lsa-da, “U nima qilsa” ma’noli, agar Ibn Ḥanbal Xudo barcha amallarimizni oldindan belgilab qo‘ygan deb hisoblagan bo‘lsa (qarang: 20.49). H va SH mustaqil qo‘lyozma an’analarini ifodalagani uchun men mā yaṣnaʿu variantini qabul qildim va tarjimani shunga muvofiq qildim. Ammo ilohiyot masalasini chetga qo‘yib, D dagi mā naṣnaʿu, “biz nima qilamiz,” eng tabiiy o‘qilishdir.

312 H and SH have mā yaṣnaʿu, “what He does,” though the fatḥah in H may also be a ḍammah, giving mā yuṣnaʿu, “what is done” (thus al-Turkī). Though odd, “what He does” makes sense if Ibn Ḥanbal believed that God has predestined all our actions (see 20.49). Since H and SH represent independent manuscript traditions, I have adopted mā yaṣnaʿu and translated accordingly. But theodicy aside, D’s mā naṣnaʿu, “what we do,” is the most natural reading.

313 H va D'da ṭibb so'zi odatda "tibbiyot" ma'nosini anglatadi va u ṭabīb ("shifokor") so'zining ko'plik shakli sifatida qayd etilmagan, ammo bu yerda aynan shu ma'noda ishlatilgan ko'rinadi.

313 H and D have ṭibb, commonly “medicine,” and not attested as a plural of ṭabīb, “physician,” but apparently being used in that sense here.

314-hadis. Bolaning qon ketishini to‘xtatish uchun uning oilasi fatl — samur yoki akatsiya gullaridan tayyorlangan dorini ishlatgan ko‘rinadi. Akatsiyaning tibbiyotda qanday qo‘llanilishi haqida zamonaviy tavsif uchun qarang: http://www.cloverleaffarmherbs.com/acacia/. Bu fikrni taklif qilgani uchun Kyle Gamblega minnatdorchilik bildiraman; bu taxmin birinchi nashrdagi “burama arqon” degan izohdan ancha ehtimolliroq.

314 The child’s family seems to have been using a preparation made of fatl, the blossoms of the samur or acacia, to stop the bleeding. For a modern description of how the acacia is used medicinally, see http://www.cloverleaffarmherbs.com/acacia/. I thank Kyle Gamble for suggesting this possibility, which is far likelier than the “twisted cord” of the first edition.

316 Rayḥāna ham (63.5 ga qarang) Ibn Ḥanbalning cho‘risi bo‘lgan, deb ta’kidlanadi, ammo bu da’vo kamroq hujjatlangan ko‘rinadi.

316 Rayḥāna is also identified (see 63.5) as Ibn Ḥanbal’s concubine, though this claim seems less well documented.

"Literally something cut off or cut out" — bu so'zning lug'aviy ma'nosi "kesib olingan yoki kesilgan narsa". Bu yerda u aniq bir turdagi oyoq kiyimini bildirishi ravshan, lekin boshqa manbalarda uchramagani menga ma'lum emas.

319 Bu, uning ular qo‘lida qolgan oxirgi dirhamni ham sarflab bo‘lganini va u ayolning unga boshqa ziyofat uyushtirib berishini kutmasligi kerakligini anglatadi. Yana bir mumkin bo‘lgan talqin: “Bugun men sendan shuncha olasan, xolos.” 320 Quruq o‘lchov birligi bo‘lib, uning qiymati mintaqalarga qarab keskin farq qilgan: taxminan 926,7 grammdan 1...6

319 This seems to mean that he has just spent the last dirham they have, and that she should not count on him to throw any more celebrations for her. Another possible reading is: “This is all you’ll get from me today.” 320 A dry measure whose value varied greatly by region, from approximately 926.7 grams to 1.6

321 Ḥusn ning kiyim tikish uchun mato uchun to‘laganmi yoki qilgan ishi uchun haq olganmi, bu aniq emas. Kirā odatda ijara haqini bildiradi, ammo bu yerda u xizmat uchun to‘lanadigan haqni anglatadi shekilli. Bu masalani men bilan muhokama qilgani uchun Isam Eido, Saud AlSarhan va Julia Bray ga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

321 It is unclear to me whether Ḥusn paid for the fabric or was paid for the work she did when she made the garment. Kirā usually means the rent, but here it seems to mean the fee paid for a service. I thank Isam Eido, Saud AlSarhan, and Julia Bray for discussing this problem with me.

Shuningdek, Ibn Ḥanbal nima uchun bu libosni olishni istamaganligi aniq emas. Ehtimol, u uning nozik to'qilganini yoqtirmagan bo'lishi mumkin, yoki Ḥusn zikr qilgan muomalani (ghallah, ya'ni u ijarachilaridan yig'gan pul) ma'qullamagan bo'lishi mumkin.

It is also unclear exactly why Ibn Ḥanbal did not want the garment. He may have disliked its being finely woven, or he may have disapproved of the transaction Ḥusn mentions (the ghallah being the money he collected from his tenants).

322 Ibn Ḥanbal darhol matoni kafan sifatida ishlatishga qaror qildi va shuning uchun Ḥusndan uni kesmaslikni so'radi, chunki kafan shunchaki o'ramdir. Oxirida esa u, go'yo, matoning faqat qo'polroq qismini kafan uchun ishlatish maqsadida uni kesganini aytayotgandek.

322 Ibn Ḥanbal decided immediately to use the cloth as a shroud and therefore asked Ḥusn not to cut it, as a shroud is simply a wrapper. At the end, though, she seems to be saying that he cut the cloth in order to use only the coarser part for the shroud.

Ko‘rinishidan, bu Ibn Hanbal haqidagi hozir yo‘qolgan tarjimai holdir.

323 Evidently a now-lost biography of Ibn Ḥanbal.

324 Rayḥānah ham Ibn Ḥanbalning ikkinchi xotinining ismi sifatida keltirilganligi (62.4) sababli, nomuvofiqlikning eng tejamkor izohi shuki, al-Munādiy Ḥusn ismini noto‘g‘ri ravishda Rayḥānahga nisbat bergan. Xotinidan ruxsat so‘rash va sunnatga amal qilish haqidagi tafsilotlar esa taqvodorlik maqsadida qo‘shilgan bezaklar bo‘lishi mumkin.

324 Since Rayḥānah is also given as the name of Ibn Ḥanbal’s second wife (62.4) the most economical explanation of the discrepancy is that al-Munādī mistakenly applied the name to Ḥusn. The details about asking his wife’s permission and following the sunnah may be pious embellishments.

325 Ibn Ḥanbal Q A'rāf 7:172 ga ishora qilmoqda, bunda Xudo hali tug'ilmagan barcha ruhlarni chaqirib, ularning Uni o'zlarining Rabbi deb tan olishlarini talab qiladi. Demak, bu o'rinda u katta o'g'lidan keyingi o'g'illarini dunyoga keltirgani uchun uzr so'rayapti. U kichik yoshida vafot etgan al-Ḥasan va al-Ḥusaynni tilga olmaydi (qarang: 63.2), ammo to'rtinchi kichik o'g'li Muḥammadni nega tilga olmaganligi aniq emas. Bu talqinga amal qilib, men matnni H nusxasiga, ya'ni "al-Ḥasan" degan o'qishga asoslanib tarjima qildim. D va SH nusxalari esa "Ḥusn" (Ibn Ḥanbalning kanizagi) deb o'qiydi.

325 Ibn Ḥanbal is referring to Q Aʿrāf 7:172, where God summons the souls of all those yet unborn and has them acknowledge Him as their Lord. Here, then, he is apologizing to his older son for fathering the younger ones. He leaves out the younger al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn, who died young (see 63.2), though why he should leave out Muḥammad, the fourth of his young sons, is not clear. Following this understanding of the passage, I have translated based on the text of H, which reads “al-Ḥasan.” For their part, D and SH both read Ḥusn (Ibn Ḥanbal’s concubine)

Ḥasan o‘rniga. Agar bu qiroat qabul qilinsa, rivoyat shuni anglatadiki, Ibn Ḥanbal Ḥusnni sotib olgani va Saʿīdning otasi bo‘lgani uchun uzr so‘rayapti.

instead of Ḥasan. If this reading is adopted, the report means that Ibn Ḥanbal is apologizing for buying Ḥusn and fathering Saʿīd.

326 Qanṭarah — bu, qayiqlar yoki shishirilgan xaltalar bilan emas, balki tosh-g‘isht qurilishidagi ko‘prikdir.

329 Al-Turkī, parallel matnga tayanib, "Aḥmad" so'zini "aḥmadu l-Lāh" shakliga o'zgartiradi, ammo barcha qo'lyozmalarda uchraydigan asl matn menga ancha ishonarliroq tuyuladi.

Uchinchi/to'qqizinchi asrdagi, yozuvdagi xatolarni tuzatishga qaratilgan asarlarga qaraganda, bu davrda "noto'g'ri arabcha" (laḥn) ehtimol ism va fe'lning kelishik (iʿrāb) xatolarini emas, balki ajralmas, uydirma hikoyalarda aytilgan kabi xatolarni bildirmagan. Aksincha, u I va IV shakldagi fe'llarni chalkashtirish yoki hamzа o'rniga yāʾ ishlatish kabi xatolarni anglatgan. Misollar uchun qarang: Ibn Qutayba, Adab al-kātib, passim. So'z tanlash masalasi sifatida "noto'g'ri arabcha" haqida qarang: 98.23.

330 To judge by third/ninth-century works intended to correct writing errors, “bad Arabic” (laḥn) in this period probably did not mean making errors in inflection (iʿrāb), as in the (probably contrived) stories told of early Islamic figures. Rather, it meant making errors such as mixing up Form I and Form IV verbs, or using yāʾ instead of the glottal stop. For examples, see Ibn Qutaybah, Adab al-kātib, passim. For “bad Arabic” as a matter of word choice, see 98.23.

Ibn al-Jawzī ning erta musulmonlar Vahiyni yaratilmagan deb bilganlari haqidagi da'vosi tarafkashlikka asoslangan.

332 Ibn al-Jawzī’s claim that the early Muslims held the Revelation to be uncreated is tendentious.

Bu jildning boshqa joyida (72.9–10, 72.13–14) uning manbalari bu mavzu aynan shu sababli taqiqlangan, deb ta'kidlaydi: ilk musulmonlar bu masalada hech qanday pozitsiya e'lon qilmagan.

Elsewhere in this volume (72.9–10, 72.13–14) his sources will argue that the subject is off limits precisely because the early Muslims announced no position on the matter.

333 Ibn al-Jawziy Mu'tazila (Mu'tazilah)ni Inkvizitsiya ortidagi asosiy aybdorlar deb hisoblaydi, va bu ko'p takrorlanadigan qarash, lekin Ibn Hanbalning o'zi bu rolni Jahmiylarga yuklaydi. Qarang: Ja'dan, Mihna, 47–109; Melchert, "Adversaries." 334 Ibn Nuh, hadis ilmining noma'lum talabasi (qarang: 67-bob), xalifaning biror narsa deganini eshitish imkoniyatiga ega bo'lgan bo'lishi ehtimoldan yiroq. Bu rivoyatlar silsilasi, ehtimol, Inkvizitsiyadan keyin hadis jamoasi bilan Abbosiylar rejimi o'rtasidagi yaqinlashuv davrida o'ylab topilgan. Maqsad shu ediki, ikki yomon odam — al-Ma'mun va al-Vासiq — bundan mustasno, xalifalar Qur'on haqida har doim to'g'ri (ya'ni sunniy) qarashni tutganini ko'rsatish: u yaratilgan emas.

333 Ibn al-Jawzī sees the Secessionists (Muʿtazilah) as the villains behind the Inquisition, and this is a commonly repeated view, but Ibn Ḥanbal himself casts the Jahmists in that role. See Jadʿān, Miḥnah, 47–109, and Melchert, “Adversaries.” 334 It is unlikely that Ibn Nūḥ, an obscure student of Hadith (see chapter 67), would have been in a position to overhear the caliph say anything. This series of reports was probably invented in the course of the post-Inquisition rapprochement between the Hadith community and the Abbasid regime. The point was to show that, except for two bad eggs—al-Maʾmūn and al-Wāthiq—the caliphs had always held the correct (that is, the Sunni) view of the Qurʾan: that it was not created.

Zamonaviy ilmiy tadqiqotlar Ma'mun tomonidan joriy etilgan "Mihna"ni (inkvizitsiyani) halifalikni e'tiqod va huquq masalalarida barcha hidoyat manbaiga aylantirishga qaratilgan urinish sifatida izohlaydi. Bu urinishni umuman olganda shialik yo'nalishidagi harakat deb tavsiflash mumkin. Ma'mun shialarni qo'llovchi bir qator boshqa siyosatlarni ham qabul qildi, jumladan, Alining avlodidan birini o'ziga valiahd etib tayinladi. Shunga qaramay, u namunali rahbarlikni Ali oilasi bilan cheklamadi. U potentsial imomlar yoki yo'lboshchilar qatoriga o'z oilasi bo'lgan Abbosiylarni ham kiritdi va, albatta, o'z davrida o'zini imom deb hisobladi. Bu g'oyalarni u o'zi bilan ukasi, o'tmishdoshi, xalifa al-Amin o'rtasidagi fuqarolar urushi davomida shakllantirgan ko'rinadi. Niyatidan qat'i nazar, Ma'munning shialik yo'nalishidagi o'zini belgilashi uni Ibn Hanbal kabi odamlar bilan to'qnashtirdi. Ular huquq faqat shaxslarning bayonotlarida emas, balki sunnatda topilishi kerak deb hisoblardi. Hadisshunos olimlar va ularning fikrdoshi bo'lgan faqihlarni o'z hokimiyatini tan olishga majburlash uchun Ma'mun ayyorlik bilan ulardan Qur'onning yaratilgan yoki yaratilmaganligi haqida so'rashni qaror qildi.

335 Modern scholarship has explained the Inquisition as al-Maʾmūn’s attempt to make the caliphate the source of all guidance in matters of belief and law. This attempt can broadly be characterized as a Shiʿi one. Al-Maʾmūn adopted several other pro-Shiʿa positions, including the nomination of a descendant of ʿAlī as his heir apparent. He did not, however, limit exemplary leadership to ʿAlī’s family. He included his own family, the Abbasids, among the potential imams or guides, and of course believed himself to be the imam in his own time. He seems to have developed these ideas in the course of the civil war between himself and his predecessor, the caliph al- Amīn. Intentionally or not, al-Maʾmūn’s Shiʿi self-positioning brought him into conflict with people like Ibn Ḥanbal, who believed that the Law was to be found in the sunnah rather than in the declarations of individuals. To force the Hadith-men and like-minded jurists to acknowledge his authority, al-Maʾmūn craftily decided to ask them about the createdness of the Qurʾan.

Bu masala, boshqa ziddiyatli nuqtalardan farqli o‘laroq, Kitobning o‘zida ham, Hadisda ham zikr etilmagan. Shu sababli xalifaning rejasi o‘z raqiblarini o‘zi g‘alaba qozonishiga ishonch hosil qilgan turdagi diniy-kalomiy bahsga majbur qilish edi. Miḥna va unga oid qo‘shimcha manbalar bilan tanishish uchun qarang: Patton, Aḥmed ibn Ḥanbal; Sourdel, “Politique religieuse”; Nagel, Rechtleitung, esp. 116–54, 430–46; Lapidus, “Separation”; Crone and Hinds, God’s Caliph, esp.

Unlike other points of contention between the two parties, this issue is not mentioned in the Book itself or in the Hadith. The caliph’s plan was thus to force his opponents to engage in the kind of theological argument he was sure he could win. For discussions of the miḥnah and further references, see Patton, Aḥmed ibn Ḥanbal; Sourdel, “Politique religieuse”; Nagel, Rechtleitung, esp. 116–54, 430–46; Lapidus, “Separation”; Crone and Hinds, God’s Caliph, esp.

336 Yahyo al-Ma'mun davrida bosh qozi bo'lib xizmat qilgan bo'lsa-da, u doimiy ravishda proto-sunniy qarashlarni himoya qildi. Shu sababli hanbaliy tarjimai holchilar uni ishonchli manba sifatida ko'rishga moyil.

336 Although Yaḥyā served as chief judge under al-Maʾmūn, he argued consistently for proto-Sunni positions. Ḥanbalī biographers therefore tend to treat him as a reliable source.

337-§. Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbalning amakivachchasi Ḥanbal ibn Isḥoqning bayoni Aḥmadning inkvizitsiya bilan birinchi uchrashuvi haqida qo‘shimcha ma’lumot beradi. Unda avvalo xalifa bilan al-Raqqada uchrashishga chaqirilgan olimlarning ro‘yxati keltiriladi. (Bu yerda Ḥanbal dastlabki olimlarni al-Raqqaga jo‘natish bilan keyinchalik Ibn Ḥanbal va Ibn Nūḥning Vizantiya chegarasiga yuborilishini aralashtirib yuborgan ko‘rinadi.)

337 A parallel account by Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s cousin Ḥanbal ibn Isḥāq sheds additional light on Aḥmad’s first encounter with the Inquisition. It begins with a list of the scholars summoned to meet with the caliph in al-Raqqah. (Here Ḥanbal seems to have confused the initial dispatch of scholars to al-Raqqah with the later transport of Ibn Ḥanbal and Ibn Nūḥ to the Byzantine front.

Шундай қилиб, унинг ҳисобида Ибн Ҳанбал ҳам дастлабки сафарда қатнашган ва Қуръоннинг яратилган эканлигини эълон қилганлар қаторида тилга олинади: қаранг, Ҳанбал, Ḏикр, 34-36. Ван Есс, Theologie, 3:455n23, муҳаррирнинг бу ерда матнни тўлдириш учун Ибн Ҳанбалнинг номини киритгани нотўғри деб ҳисоблайди, гарчи хато муҳаррирда эмас, балки Ҳанбалда бўлгандек туюлади, чунки даъво иккинчи марта ўзгартиришсиз такрорланган. Ҳанбалнинг ҳисоби давом этар экан, ҳар ҳолда, у бошқа манбаларимиз билан мос келади, улар Ибн Ҳанбалдан биринчи бўлиб Бағдодда сўралганини айтади.) Ҳанбалнинг ривояти унинг отаси Исҳоқдан нақл қилади, у Аҳмад ибн Ҳанбалнинг амакиси ҳам бўлган, ва у шундай деган:

As it stands, his account includes Ibn Ḥanbal among those who made the initial trip and proclaimed the Qurʾan created: see Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 34-36. Van Ess, Theologie, 3:455n23, thinks the editor is wrong to supply Ibn Ḥanbal’s name to complete the text here, though the mistake seems to be Ḥanbal’s, not the editor’s, as the claim is repeated, the second time without emendation. As Ḥanbal’s account continues, in any event, it comes into agreement with our other sources, which say that Ibn Ḥanbal was first questioned in Baghdad.) Ḥanbal’s report quotes his father Isḥāq, who was also Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s uncle, as saying:

Quyosh botganda ṣāḥib al-rabʿ (mahalla boshlig'i) tomonidan yuborilgan bir elchi keldi va Ahmadni olib ketdi. Men ular bilan birga chiqdim. Mahalla boshlig'i dedi: “Rais ertaga sizni o'z huzurida ko'rmoqchi.” Biz [mahalla boshlig'ining uyidan] chiqqach, men Ahmadga dedim: “Nega yashirinib ketmaysiz?” “Qanday qilib shunday qila olaman?” — deb javob berdi u. “Agar shunday qilsam, sizga yoki bolalarimga, sizning bolalaringizga yoki qo'shnilarga biror narsa bo'lishidan xavotirlanardim. Men mening sababimdan birortasi azob chekishini istamayman. Keling, nima bo'lishini kutib ko'raylik” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 36).

At sunset a messenger arrived from the captain of the ward (ṣāḥib al-rabʿ) and took Aḥmad away. I went out with them. The ward captain said: “The chief wants to see you at his place tomorrow.” After we left [the ward captain’s house] I said to Aḥmad: “Why not go into hiding?” “How could I do that?” he replied. “If I did, I’d worry that something might happen to you, or to my children, your children, or the neighbors. I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer on my account. Let’s just see what happens” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 36).

338 Al-Ma'mun al-Raqqada edi, u Vizantiya frontiga yo'lida shu yerda to'xtagan edi. Suriyaga qilgan safari davomida xalifa u yerdagi hukumatga qarshi kayfiyatning qanchalik kuchli ekanini, shuningdek bu kayfiyatning unga bid'at tuyulgan diniy qarashlar bilan qanchalik bog'liqligini anglagan bo'lishi mumkin. Buning sababi hadis olimi Abu Mushir al-G'assoniy bilan uchrashuvi bo'lgan bo'lishi mumkin; u dastlab Qur'onni yaratilgan deb ta'riflashdan bosh tortgan edi (qarang: 78.19, va van Ess, Theologie, 3:452–53).

338 Al-Maʾmūn was in al-Raqqah, having stopped there on his way to the Byzantine front. During his visit to Syria, the caliph may have realized the extent of anti-regime sentiment there, and the extent to which such sentiment correlated with what were to him heretical religious ideas. The trigger may have been his meeting with the Hadith scholar Abū Mushir al-Ghassānī, who at first refused to describe the Qurʾan as created (see 78.19, and van Ess, Theologie, 3:452–53).

339 Ibn Hanbal va uning doirasi Abbosiy xalifalarni ularning taxt unvonlari bilan atashdan tiyilishgan, ko‘rinadiki, ular bu unvonlarning shia-millenarist ma’nolarini rad etishgan. Al-Ma’mun “ishonchli” degan ma’noni anglatadi va Payg‘ambarga murojaat qilishning keng tarqalgan shakli bo‘lgan ﷺ.

339 Ibn Ḥanbal and his circle avoided referring to the Abbasid caliphs by their regnal titles, evidently because they rejected their Shiʿi-millenarian implications. Al-maʾmūn means “the trustworthy” and was a common form of reference to the Prophet.

Q Shūrā 42:11.

340 Q Shūrā 42:11.

341 Q Anʿām 6:102; Raʿd 13:16; Zumar 39:62; Ghāfir 40:62. Bu yerda al-Ma'mūn Qur'ondagi turli oyatlarning qismlarini birlashtirib, Xudoning yaratilganlaridan, shu jumladan Qur'ondan ham, mohiyatan farqli ekanini ta'kidlaydi. Ushbu birinchi maktubning to'liq matni boshqa manbalardan bizga ma'lum bo'lib, unda xalifa jamoatni boshqarish va Islomni o'zini "sunnat ahli" deb e'lon qilgan kishilarning soxta ta'limotlaridan himoya qilish burchini ham ta'kidlaydi (al-Ṭabarī, Ta'rīkh, 3:1112–32/8:631–44 va van Ess, Theologie, 3:452–56).

341 Q Anʿām 6:102; Raʿd 13:16; Zumar 39:62; Ghāfir 40:62. Here al-Maʾmūn puts together parts of different Qurʾanic verses to emphasize that God is fundamentally different from His creations, including the Qurʾan. In this first letter, the full text of which we have from other sources, the caliph also emphasizes his duty to guide the community and protect Islam from the false teachings of the self-proclaimed people of the sunnah (al-Ṭabarī, Taʾrīkh, 3:1112–32/8:631–44, and van Ess, Theologie, 3:452–56).

342 Ya'ni, Ibn Ḥanbal Qur'on Shūro 42:11 oyatining davomini keltirdi, so'roq beruvchilar esa faqat yuqorida berilgan qismini o'qigan edilar. Shu bilan u hozir bo'lganlarga shuni eslatdi: Xudoga jismoniy tana berilgan kabi ko'rinadigan oyatlarni shunchaki e'tiborsiz qoldirib bo'lmaydi. U Xudoning jismoniy tanasi borligiga ishongan bo'lishi mumkin, uning barcha sifatlari, shu jumladan Qur'onni nozil qilgan ovozi ham, yaratilmagan deb hisoblangan. Yoki u atributlar masalasini inson aqli bilan hal qilib bo'lmasligini ta'kidlashga harakat qilgan bo'lishi mumkin. Har holda, Ibn al-Javziy voqeani to'liq ishonchli tarzda bayon qilmagan bo'lishi mumkin, chunki o'zi Qur'onni antropomorfistik talqin qilishga qarshi edi (Swartz, "Ḥanbalī Critique").

342 That is, Ibn Ḥanbal completed the citation of Q Shūrā 42:11, of which the interrogators recited only the part given above. He thus reminded those present that one cannot simply ignore the passages that seem to describe God as if He has a physical body. He may have believed that God did have a physical body, all of whose attributes, including the voice that had spoken the Qurʾan, were uncreated. Alternatively, he may have been trying to make the point that the problem of attributes could not be resolved by human reason. In any case, Ibn al-Jawzī might not be giving us an entirely reliable account, as he himself was opposed to anthropomorphist interpretations of the Qurʾan (Swartz, “Ḥanbalī Critique”).

343 — boshqa rivoyatda Rahbat Tavq deb ham ataladi (qarang pastda). Ehtimol, bugungi kunda al-Rahba deb ataladigan joy bilan bir xil bo‘lib, u Furot daryosi bo‘yida, Bag‘dod bilan ar-Raqqa o‘rtasida joylashgan.

343 Called Raḥbat Ṭawq in another telling (see below). Perhaps the same as the place today called al- Raḥbah, which lies on the Euphrates between Baghdad and al-Raqqah.

344-son. Bu al-Ma'mūndir. Ba'zi solnomachilar uning sovuq suv sachragach isitma tutganini aytadilar, boshqalari esa yangi keltirilgan xurmo yeyayotganda oyoqlarini sovuq suvga solib o'tirgani sababli kasallanganini aytadilar (ya'ni, o'sha davrdagi yunon-islom tibbiy nazariyalariga ko'ra, u ehtimol tana suyuqliklari muvozanatini buzgan). Qarang: at-Tabariy, Ta'rix, 3:1134–41/8:646–651.

344 That is, al-Maʾmūn. Some chroniclers state that he contracted a fever after being splashed with cold water, while others say he fell ill after dangling his feet in cold water while eating freshly delivered dates (that is, he presumably caused an imbalance in his humours, according to the Greco-Islamic medical theories of the day). See al-Ṭabarī, Taʾrīkh, 3:1134–41/8:646–651.

345 yoki al-Mutavakkil, buni hikoyachi qo‘shishni unutgan. Uchinchi iltimos — ijobat bo‘lmagan iltimos — ehtimol al-Mu‘tasimni ko‘rish haqida bo‘lgan. Hikoya birinchi shaxs bayonidan uchinchi shaxs bayoniga gap o‘rtasida o‘tib ketadi va shuning uchun uzatilish jarayonida buzilgan ko‘rinadi.

345 Or al-Mutawakkil, as the storyteller has forgotten to add. The third request—the one not granted— was presumably not to meet al-Muʿtaṣim. The story switches from first to third-person narration in mid-sentence and thus seems to have been garbled in transmission.

346 — Tigris daryosi bo‘yida, hozirgi Shimoliy-Sharqiy Iroqda, Suriya chegarasi yaqinida joylashgan shahar; u ʿĀnāh (67.14) nomi bilan ham tanilgan (Longrigg, “ʿĀna”).

346 A town, also known as ʿĀnāh (67.14), on the Tigris in what is now northeastern Iraq, near the Syrian border (Longrigg, “ʿĀna”).

347-sonli rivoyatda Ibn Hanbal Adanagacha yetib borgani aytiladi. Bu ishonarli, chunki al-Ma'mun vafot etgani haqidagi xabar al-Raqqaga darhol yetib bormagan bo'lishi mumkin.

347 An earlier report says that Ibn Ḥanbal got as far as Adana, which is plausible enough given that the news of al-Maʾmūn’s death would not have reached al-Raqqah immediately.

348-chi. Bag'dodning g'arbiy chekkasidagi shahar, Dumaloq shahardan taxminan ikki milya g'arbda, ʿĪsā kanalining shimoli-sharqida joylashgan (Le Strange, Baghdad, index and map 6).

348 A western suburb of Baghdad, located approximately two miles west of the Round City just northeast of the ʿĪsā Canal (Le Strange, Baghdad, index and map 6).

349 ʿUmārah ibn Ḥamzah al-Manṣūr halifasining ozod etilgan qulı edi. Uning saroyi Ṭāhir ariqining ustida, Dajla daryosidagi Yuqori port (Upper Harbor) ning g‘arbida joylashgan edi (Le Strange, Baghdad, 117-bet va 5-xarita).

349 ʿUmārah ibn Ḥamzah was a freedman of the Caliph al-Manṣūr. His palace was located on the Trench of Ṭāhir just west of the Upper Harbor on the Tigris (Le Strange, Baghdad, 117 and map 5).

Baghdadda bu davrda kamida ikkita qamoqxona faoliyat yuritgan: Muṭbaq (Le Strange, Baghdad, 27-bet va 5-xarita) va Suriya darvozasi qamoqxonasi (o‘sha manba, 130–31-betlar va 2, 5 hamda 6-xaritalar). “Oddiy odamlar qamoqxonasi” ularning biri bo‘lganmi yoki boshqa joyda joylashganmi, bu aniq emas.

350 There were at least two prisons in use in Baghdad at this time: the Muṭbaq (Le Strange, Baghdad, 27 and map 5) and the Prison of the Syrian Gate (ibid., 130–31 and maps 2, 5, and 6). It is not clear whether the “Commoners’ Prison” was one of these, or another place altogether.

351 Men bu ko'chani aniqlay olmadim. Qanday bo'lmasin, ko'rinishidan, hokimiyat avval Ibn Ḥanbalni nufuzli shaxslarga odat bo'lganidek uy ichida qamab qo'ymoqchi bo'lgan, ammo keyin uni oddiy jinoyatchilar uchun mo'ljallangan qamoqxonaga joylashtirishga qaror qilgan.

351 I have not been able to identify this street. In any case it seems that the authorities first intended to keep Ibn Ḥanbal confined inside a house, as seems to have been customary with high-profile figures, but then decided to put him in a prison for common criminals.

352. Ḥanbal rivoyat qilishicha, Ibn Ḥanbalning kishanlari shunchalik bo‘sh bo‘lganki, u ularni yechib tashlay olgan va namozini to‘g‘ri ado etish uchun shunday qilgan (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 38–39).

352 According to Ḥanbal, Ibn Ḥanbal’s fetters were loose enough that he could slip them off, which he did in order to perform his prayers properly (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 38–39).

353-hadis. Ibn al-Javziy e'tiborsiz qoldirgan Ahmad ibn Hanbalning amakivachchasi Hanbalning rivoyatiga ko'ra, Ahmadni sud qilish uchun hokimiyatni ko'ndirgan kishi Hanbalning otasi Ishoq — Ahmadning amakisi bo'lgan.

353 According to the account (ignored by Ibn al-Jawzī) by Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal’s cousin Ḥanbal, it was Ḥanbal’s father Isḥāq—Aḥmad’s uncle—who persuaded the authorities to put Aḥmad on trial.

Rivoyat quyidagicha:

The report runs as follows:

Aḥmad hali qamoqda ekan, otam Isḥoq ibn Hanbal uning nomidan amirlar va hukumat arboblari huzuriga bordi, uni ozod qilishga umid qilib. Oxiri, harakatlari natija bermayotganini ko‘rgach, to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri Isḥoq ibn Ibrohim huzuriga bordi. “Amir,” dedi u, “bizning oilalarimiz bog‘liq, buni siz yaxshi bilasiz. Biz Marvda qo‘shni edik, otam Hanbal sizning bobongiz al-Husayn ibn Mus‘ab bilan birga edi.” “Buni eshitganman.” [Otam davom etdi:] Men dedim: “Shunday ekan, amir bu aloqani hurmat qilish uchun biror ish qilmasmidi? Sizning mavqeingizni jiyanim ma’qullaydi. U Vahiyni inkor etmagan; ihtilof faqat uning talqinida. Shunga qaramay, siz uni uzoq vaqt qamoqda saqlashni joiz deb topdingiz. Amir: uni bir qancha faqihlar va olimlar bilan birga qo‘ying.” Men u bilan hadis ahli va rivoyat naqlchilari haqida hech narsa demadim.

With Aḥmad still in prison, my father, Isḥāq ibn Ḥanbal, made the rounds of the commanders and regime figures on his behalf, hoping to get him released. Eventually, seeing that his efforts were leading nowhere, he went directly to Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm. “Commander,” he said, “our families are bound together in a way I’m sure you appreciate. We were neighbors in Marv and my father Ḥanbal was with your grandfather al-Ḥusayn ibn Muṣʿab.” “So I’ve heard.” [My father continued:] I said: “So would the Commander not do something to honor that bond? Your position is one my nephew approves of. He has not denied Revelation; the only disagreement concerns its interpretation. Even so, you have deemed it lawful to keep him confined for a long time. Commander: put him together with some jurists and scholars.” I didn’t say anything to him about Hadith-men and transmitters of reports.

“Ushbu natijani, qanday bo‘lmasin, qabul qilasizmi?” “Ha!” dedim men. “Eng yaxshi dalil g‘alaba qozonsin.” [Otam davom etdi:] “[Keyinroq, buni Ibn Abu Rabiga aytganimda,] u dedi: ‘Nima qilding?

“Would you accept the outcome, whatever it was?” “Yes!” I said. “Let the best argument win.” [My father continued:] “[Later, when I told] Ibn Abī Rabʿī, he said, ‘What have you done?

"Siz jiyaningizni, Ibn Abu Du'od topa oladigan bahslashuvchi va janjalkashlarni to'plab, uni munozarada yengdirmoqchimisiz? Nega avval men bilan maslahatlashmadingiz?" […] [Ishoq ibn Ibrohim]ning saroy xizmatchisi meni kuzatib bordi, men Ahmad oldiga kirdim.

You want to gather your nephew’s opponents—whatever Debaters and squabblers Ibn Abī Duʾād can find--and let them beat him in a debate? Why didn’t you consult with me first?’” […] Escorted by [Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm’s] chamberlain, I went in to see Aḥmad.

“Sizning hamrohlaringiz taslim bo‘ldi”, dedim unga. “Siz Alloh oldidagi mas’uliyatingizni ado etdingiz. Boshqalarning hammasi tan berdi, siz esa hali ham qamoqdasiz!” “Amakijon”, dedi u javoban, “agar bilimli kishilar qo‘rquvdan jim tursa, bilimsiz kishilar esa jaholatdan jim tursa, unda haqiqat qachon oshkor bo‘ladi?” Buni eshitgach, men uning fikrini o‘zgartirishga urinishni to‘xtatdim (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 41).

“Your companions have surrendered,” I told him. “You’ve discharged your responsibility before God. Everyone else has given in, and here you are, still locked up!” “Uncle,” he replied, “if those who know remain silent out of fear, and the ignorant remain silent out of ignorance, then when does the truth come out?” Hearing this I stopped trying to change his mind (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 41).

Isḥāq ning rejasining muvaffaqiyatsizligi, shuningdek, keyinroq Ibn Ḥanbalni o‘ziga bo‘ysundirishga urinishi (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 49), hamda uning Ibn Ḥanbal qamchilangandan keyin u shikast topmaganiga olomonni ishontirishdagi taxmin qilinayotgan ishtiroki (qarang: 69.57) uni persona non grata holatiga tushirib qo‘ygan va uning rivoyatlarini nomaqbul qilib qo‘ygan bo‘lishi mumkin (van Ess, Theologie, 3:461–62).

The failure of Isḥāq’s plan, along with his later attempt to talk Ibn Ḥanbal down (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 49), not to mention his alleged complicity in persuading the crowd that Ibn Ḥanbal was unharmed after the flogging (see 69.57), may have made him a persona non grata and his reports distasteful (van Ess, Theologie, 3:461–62).

354 Hisobotning tegishli qismi shunday deydi: “Bilib qo‘yingki, men ketganimdan so‘ng amirlar paydo bo‘ladi.

354 The relevant part of the report reads: “You must know that, when I’m gone, princes will arise.

Kimki ularni izlab topsa, ularning yolg'onlariga ishonsa va ularning zulmiga yordam bersa, u mening ummatimdan emas va men ham undan emasman. Qarang: al-Turkī, 431n2.

Anyone who seeks them out, believes their lies, and abets their tyranny is not part of my community nor am I of his.” See al-Turkī, 431n2.

355 Ḥanbal’in riwayatida bu voqeaga oid qiziqarli bir tafsilot bor. U aytadiki, so‘roq qiluvchilar Ibn Ḥanbal huzuriga “osmon va yer surati hamda boshqa narsalar” (ṣūratu al-samawāti wa-l-arḍi wa-ghayru dhālika) tasvirlangan rasmni olib kelishgan. Keyin Ibn Ḥanbal shunday degan deb naql qilinadi: “Ular men hech narsa bilmaydigan bir narsani so‘rashdi” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 42). Ma’mun dunyo xaritalari va yulduzlar jadvallarini chizdirishga homiylik qilgani ma’lum (Sezgin, GAS, 10:73–149).

355 Ḥanbal’s account includes a tantalizing detail regarding this episode. The interrogators, he says, came to see Ibn Ḥanbal, carrying with them “a picture of the heavens and the earth, and other things” (ṣūratu al-samawāti wa-l-arḍi wa-ghayru dhālika). Then, Ibn Ḥanbal is quoted as saying, “They asked me something I knew nothing about” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 42). Al-Maʾmūn is known to have sponsored the drawing of world maps and star charts (Sezgin, GAS, 10:73–149)

shuning uchun bu da'voni ishonchli deb hisoblash mumkin, lekin tergovchilar nima uchun Ibn Ḥanbalga o'sha narsalarni ko'rsatganini faqat taxmin qilish mumkin. Ehtimol, ular unga xalifaning Hadisdan kelib chiqishi mumkin bo'lmagan bilimga ega ekanligiga ishontirmoqchi bo'lganlar (Cooperson, Al-Ma’mun, 105).

so the claim is believable, but one can only speculate about why the interrogators would show those items to Ibn Ḥanbal. Perhaps they hoped to persuade him that the caliph had access to knowledge that could not be derived from the Hadith (Cooperson, Al-Ma’mun, 105).

356-ta keltirilgan dalil shuni anglatadiki: agar Xudo yaratilmagan bo‘lsa, Uning sifatlari, jumladan, ilmi ham yaratilgan bo‘lishi mumkin emas. Qur’on Xudoning ilmi bilan qamrab olingan va Uning ovozi bilan aytilgan bo‘lgani uchun, u ham yaratilmagan bo‘lishi kerak.

356 The line of argument implied here runs as follows: If God is not created, none of His attributes, including knowledge, can be created either. Since it is encompassed by God’s knowledge and spoken in His voice, the Qurʾan must also be uncreated.

Zuxruf 43:3.

357 Q Zukhruf 43:3.

358 Q Fīl 105:5. Bu oyatda va undan oldingi oyatda fe'l "jaʿala" Ibn Ḥanbal ko'rsatganidek, "biror sifatga ega qilmoq" ma'nosidagi "qilmoq" demakdir. U "yaratmoq" degan ma'noni anglatmaydi. 359 Ehtimol, bu Dajla daryosining sharqiy tomonida, al-Muʿtaṣim saroyi yaqinida joylashgan Bog' darvozasi (yoki Bog' eshigi) bo'lgan (Le Strange, Baghdad, 221, 276, xaritalar 5 va 8). Ibn Ḥanbal u yerga qayiqda olib borilgan ko'rinadi.

358 Q Fīl 105:5. In this verse and the one cited just before, the verb jaʿala, as Ibn Ḥanbal points out, means “to make” in the sense of “cause to have a certain attribute.” It does not mean “to create.” 359 Perhaps the Orchard Gate (or Garden Gate) located on the east side of the Tigris, near the palace of al-Muʿtaṣim (Le Strange, Baghdad, 221, 276, maps 5 and 8). Ibn Ḥanbal seems to have been taken there by boat.

Bu, ya'ni oyoqni yuvish o'rniga poyafzalni mash qilish orqali vuzu' qilish mumkinligi haqidagi masala bo'yicha. Bu aniq sunniy qarash edi. Hikoyaning o'zi esa, ravshanki, o'ylab topilgan: masalan, protokol xalifa tomonidan murojaat qilinmasdan gapirishga ruxsat bermas edi.

360 That is, on the permissibility of performing one’s ablutions by wiping one’s shoes instead of removing them and washing the feet. This was a distinctively Sunni position. The story itself is obviously contrived. For one thing, protocol did not permit speaking without first being addressed by the caliph.

361 Uzun versiya 69.30 da keltirilgan. Ikkala xabar ham Ibn Hanbalning qamoqda o'tkazgan yigirma sakkiz oylik muddatini e'tibordan chetda qoldiradi (69.28) va shu sabab uning sud jarayoni sanasini noto'g'ri beradi. Sud Ramazon 220 hijriy/835 yil sentabrida bo'lib o'tgan (van Ess, Theologie, 3:460).

361 A longer version of this report appears in 69.30. Both reports overlook the twenty-eight months Ibn Ḥanbal spent in prison (69.28) and thus give an incorrect date for his trial, which took place in Ramadan 220/September 835 (van Ess, Theologie, 3:460).

362 Ḥanbal ning rivoyatiga ko‘ra, xalifa Ibn Ḥanbalning o‘rta yoshda ekanidan hayratga tushdi: "Menga u yosh yigit ekanini aytgan edingiz-ku!" (a-laysa zaʿamtum li-annahu ḥadathun). Qarang: Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 43.

362 According to Ḥanbal’s account, the caliph was surprised that Ibn Ḥanbal was middle-aged: “You told me he was a young man!” (a-laysa zaʿamtum li-annahu ḥadathun). See Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 43.

363 Ibn Ḥanbal (yoki ehtimol uning tarjimai holini yozgan kishilardan biri) bu yerda Ibn ʿAbbosdan rivoyat qilingan xabardan foydalanmoqda — u Abbosiylar xalifalarining bobosi edi. Bu xabar orqali u, bilvosita, hokimiyat vakillarining bu yerda keltirilgan ta'rifga ko'ra imon bilдирgan musulmonlarni so'roq qilishga haqqi yo'qligini isbotlashga intiladi.

363 Ibn Ḥanbal (or more likely one of his biographers) is using a report transmitted by Ibn ʿAbbās, the ancestor of the Abbasid caliphs, to argue by implication that the authorities have no business questioning Muslims who profess faith by the definition given here.

364 Q An'om 6:120; Ra'd 13:16; Zumar 39:62; G'oofir 40:62.

364 Q Anʿām 6:120; Raʿd 13:16; Zumar 39:62; Ghāfir 40:62.

365 Q Ahqof 46:24–25.

365 Q Aḥqāf 46:24–25.

366-masala: Gap shundaki, "hamma narsa" iborasi har doim ham kategorik (istisnosiz umumiy) ma'noda emas.

366 The point is that the expression “everything” is not always categorical.

367 Q Anbiyāʾ 21:2.

367 Q Anbiyāʾ 21:2.

368 Q Sod 38:1. Ushbu oyat, boshqa bir qancha oyatlar kabi, arab harfi yoki harflari nomi bilan boshlanadi, bu holda sod.

368 Q Ṣād 38:1. This verse, like several others, begins with the name of an Arabic letter or letters, in this case ṣād.

Ya'ni, Qur'on tilovat qilish orqali Allohga yaqinlashish talab qilinadi, deb tushunish kerak. Bahslashuvchi bundan Alloh va Uning kalomi ikki alohida mavjudot ekanligini anglaydi. Note: the rule says never write "Allah", so the correct form is: Ya'ni, Qur'on tilovat qilish orqali Xudoga yaqinlashish lozim. Bahslashuvchi bundan Xudo va Uning kalomi ikki alohida mavjudot ekanligini tushunadi.

369 That is, you should seek nearness to God by reciting the Qurʾan. The disputant understands this to imply that God and His word are two distinct entities.

370 Men Tahera Qutbuddinga bu noaniq matnning bunday talqinini taklif qilgani uchun minnatdorchilik bildiraman. Birinchi yuz ming sonidan keyin men miʾatayn alf, ya’ni “ikki yuz ming” kutgan edim, u deyarli miʾat alf shaklida, farqi juda oz bo‘lgan holda yoziladi, biroq qo‘lyozmalar ikkinchisiga, ya’ni miʾat alfga mos keladi.

370 I thank Tahera Qutbuddin for suggesting this interpretation of a puzzling passage. After the first hundred thousand I expected miʾatay alf, “two hundred thousand,” which is written almost indistinguishably from miʾat alf, but the manuscripts agree on the latter.

Ibn Abī Duʾād bu gapni Ibn Ḥanbalga aytadi: “Men eshitdimki, siz yetakchi bo‘lishni yaxshi ko‘rar ekansiz” (balaghanī annaka tuḥibbu r-riʾāsah; Dhikr, 51), shundan so‘ng xalifa uni qahramon sifatida xalq oldida olib yurish taklifini beradi. Ibn Ḥanbalning ommaviy ergashuvchilari bor-yo‘qligi masalasi qiziqarli savol. Steppat (“From Ahd Ardašīr”) ta’kidlashicha, al-Maʾmūn bilgan forscha davlatboshqaruvi asari hukmdorlarni xalq orasida har qanday diniy yetakchilik belgilarini bostirishga da’vat etadi va bu asar Inkvizitsiyaga ilhom bergan bo‘lishi mumkin. Ibn Ḥanbal o‘zining qamchilanishi paytida “odamlar maydonda, ko‘chalarda va boshqa joylarda to‘planishgan; bozorlar yopilib, olomon yig‘ilgan edi” deb da’vo qiladi (Dhikr, 60). Keyingi ḥanbaliy rivoyatlar olomonga katta ahamiyat beradi, ammo bu rivoyatlar unchalik ishonarli emas (Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥna,” 246). Boshqa tomondan, Ibn Ḥanbalga va uning izdoshlariga dushman manbalar ularning qo‘ldan kelishi mumkin bo‘lgan, ya’ni olomonni boshqarish qudrati haqida qo‘rquv bilan gapiradi (Qāḍī, “Earliest Nābita” va Cooperson, “Al-Jāḥiẓ”).

371 Ḥanbal’s account sets this remark in a different light. In his telling, Ibn Abī Duʾād says to Ibn Ḥanbal: “I hear you like to be a leader” (balaghanī annaka tuḥibbu r-riʾāsah; Dhikr, 51), and then the caliph makes his offer to parade Ibn Ḥanbal around as a hero. This question of Ibn Ḥanbal’s popular following is a tantalizing one. Steppat (“From Ahd Ardašīr”) notes that a Persian work on statecraft known to al-Maʾmūn urges rulers to crush any manifestations of religious leadership among the people, and may have inspired the Inquisition. Ḥanbal claims that during the Ibn Ḥanbal’s flogging “people had gathered in the square, the lanes, and elsewhere; the markets had closed and crowds had gathered” (Dhikr, 60). Later Ḥanbalī accounts make much of the crowd, though these accounts are not very persuasive (Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥna,” 246). On the other hand, sources hostile to Ibn Ḥanbal and his followers speak fearfully of their supposed power to command the rabble (Qāḍī, “Earliest Nābita” and Cooperson, “Al- Jāḥiẓ”).

372 Bu parcha tushunarsiz, chunki yuqorida aytilgan shom namozidan so'ng ro'za allaqachon tugagan bo'lishi kerak.

372 This passage is puzzling, as the fast should already have ended after the sunset prayer mentioned just above.

373. Ya'ni, imtihon (tergov) boshlanganda, 212/827–28 yilda ar-Raqqaga chaqirilgan va Qur'on haqida so'roq qilingan olimlar (76-bobga qarang). Rivoyatlarga ko'ra, ularning hammasi Qur'onning yaratilgan ekanligini aytishga rozi bo'lgan.

373 That is, the scholars summoned to al-Raqqah at the beginning of the Inquisition (in 212/827–28) to be questioned regarding the Qurʾan (see chapter 76). All of them reportedly agreed to say that it was created.

Bu ro‘yxat ro‘viy yoki muallif tomonidan keyinroq kiritilgan qo‘shimcha hisoblanadi. Ushbu ro‘yxatdagi nomlardan faqat uchtasi al-Ṭabariy, Ta’rikh, 1116–67/8:634 da keltirilgan nomlarga mos keladi; qarang: Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 34–36. Shubhasiz, ushbu voqeaga aloqador kishilarning avlodlari o‘z ajdodlarining nomlarini bunday shuhratli ro‘yxatdan olib tashlashga harakat qilishgan (van Ess, Theologie 3:455n23).

374 This list is an interpolation by a transmitter or by the author. Only three of these names agree with those listed by al-Ṭabarī, Taʾrīkh, 1116–67/8:634; cf. Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 34–36. The descendants of the men involved doubtless tried to get their names off such an infamous list (van Ess, Theologie 3:455n23).

Nisō 4:11.

375 Q Nisāʾ 4:11.

376-band. Asosiy gap shundaki, Qur'onni to'g'ri tushunish uchun Hadisga muhtoj bo'lish kerak. Bu Ibn Hanbalning hadisni bilim manbai sifatida rad etishga intilganlarga bergan javobi edi.

376 The point is that one needs Hadith in order to understand the Qurʾan properly. This was Ibn Ḥanbal’s reply to those who sought to dismiss Hadith as a source of knowledge.

377 Kun quyosh botishidan boshlangan edi, shuning uchun Ibn Hanbal nazdida uchinchi kechadan keyin uchinchi kun kelardi.

377 The day began at sunset, so for Ibn Ḥanbal the third night would be followed by the third day.

378 Aslida, "mening ovozim ularnikidan balandroq bo‘ldi" degani. Matn aynan shuni anglatishi mumkin, ammo uni u o‘z raqiblariga baqirayotgan qilib tasvirlanganini tasavvur qilish unchalik ishonarli emas.

378 Literally, “my voice became louder than theirs.” The text may indeed mean this, though it seems implausible for him to be depicted as shouting at his opponents.

Ushbu tarjima matnida (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 55, izoh 1) taxminan shu o‘rinda, Ibn Ḥanbalning qarashlariga zid deb topilgani uchun tahrirchi tomonidan chiqarib tashlangan bir bahs eslatilgan. Ushbu parcha qiziqarli bo‘lgani uchun, uni Dor al-kutub qo‘lyozmasidan (Taʾrīkh Taymūr, no. 2000, mikrofilm no. 11159, varaq 16) keltiraman. Chop etilgan nashrda (55-bet) wakān min amrihi mā kan iborasidan keyin hikoya quyidagicha davom etadi:

379 At roughly this point in the parallel account by Ḥanbal, there is mention of an argument that the editor has omitted on the grounds that it contradicts what is known of Ibn Ḥanbal’s opinions (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 55, note 1). As the passage is of some interest, I reproduce it here from the Dār al-kutub manuscript (Taʾrīkh Taymūr no. 2000, microfilm no. 11159, folio no. 16). After wakān min amrihi mā kan, which appears in the printed edition (p. 55), the account continues:

…Men Abu Abdulloh [Ibn Hanbal]ning shunday deganini eshitdim: "O'sha kuni ular men bilan bahslashib dedilar: "Qiyamat kuni sigir [Baqara surasi] va Tabarak [Mulk surasi] keladi." Men ularga dedim: "Bu faqat savobdir." [Alloh] aytdi: "Va Rabbing keldi, farishtalar esa saf-saf bo'lib." "Uning qudrati faqat keladi." "Qur'on faqat misollar, va'zlar va amrdir." "Va bu shunday..." [shunday]. "Va men Abdurrahmonga dedim…"

… wa-sami‘tu Abā ‘Abda l-Lāhi yaqūlu wa-ḥtajjū ʿalayya yawmaʾidin qāla tajīʾu l-baqaratu yawma l-qiyāmati wa-tajī’u tabāraka fa-qultu lahum innamā hādhā th-thawābu qāla l- Lāhu wa-jā’a rabbuka wa l-malāku ṣaffan ṣaffan innamā ta’tī qudratuhu innamā l-Qur’ānu amthālun wa-mawāʿiẓu wa-amrun wa-kadhā [sc. wa-hādhā?] fa-kadhā [print edition resumes] wa-qultu l-ʿAbdi r-Raḥmāni … I heard Abu ‘Abd Allāh [Ibn Ḥanbal] say: “They argued against me that day by saying:

„[Qiyomat kuni “Al-Baqara” surasi va “Tabārak” surasi kelishini aytmaysizmi?] — deb so‘radilar. Men ularga dedim: “Kelgan narsa faqat Qur’on tilovati uchun berilgan mukofotdir.”

‘[Don’t you say that the chapter called] the Cow and the [chapter called] Tabārak will come on the Day of Resurrection?’ “I told them: ‘This [sc. the thing that will come] is only the reward [for reading the Qurʾan].

Yana Alloh aytadi: «Parvardigoringiz va farishtalar saf-saf bo'lib keladilar» {Fajr surasi, 89:22}.

God [also] says: “Your Lord will come, with the angels arrayed in rows” [Q Fajr 89:22].

[Bu bilan] faqat [Uning] qudrati kelishi nazarda tutiladi. Qur'on faqat o'xshatishlar, nasihatlar va amrdir; bu ibora ham shunday.” Bu yerda ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Ibn Ḥanbalni antropomorfist qarashda ayblayapti: go'yo Qiyomat kunida Qur'onning suralari jonlanib qolar emish. Ayblovga kiritilgan suralar (Baqara va Tabarak yoki Mulk) jonli voqelikka ega bo'lishi kerak deb hisoblangan mavjudotlarni (mos ravishda sigir va qushlarni) eslatgani uchun kiritilgan ko'rinadi.

[By this is meant] only [that] His power comes. The Qurʾan is only similitudes, exhortations, and commandment; and this [expression] is like that.’” Here ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is accusing Ibn Ḥanbal of holding the anthropomorphist view that the chapters of the Qurʾan would come to life on the Day of Resurrection. The chapters in question (Baqarah and Tabārak or Mulk) seem to have figured as part of the accusation because they mention creatures (cows and birds respectively) that were supposed to take on physical reality.

Tortishda dalil shu edi: agar Alloh Qurʼonda aytilganidek, haqiqiy, jismoniy ko‘zlar va quloqlarga ega bo‘lsa, unda (masalan) sigirlar va qushlar ham haqiqiy mavjudlikka ega bo‘lishi kerak. Ushbu parchada Ibn Hanbal bu qarama-qarshi xulosani rad etadi, ammo natijada Qurʼonning har doim so‘zma-so‘z tushunilishi shart emasligini aytishga majbur bo‘ladi. Muharrir Naqsh esa bu qarashni Ibn Hanbalning ma’lum fikrlari bilan ziddiyatli deb topadi. (Bu parchani tushunishda menga yordam bergani uchun Yozef van Ess rahmat; xatolar, albatta, mening xatolarim.)

The argument was that if God had literal, physical eyes and ears, as the Qurʾan seems to say, then the cows and birds (for example) must have a real existence too. In this passage Ibn Ḥanbal rejects the reductio ad absurdem but as a consequence is forced to say that the Qurʾan need not always be taken literally. This is the view that Naghsh, the editor, finds contradictory with Ibn Ḥanbal’s known opinions. (I thank Josef van Ess for helping me understand this passage; any errors are of course mine.)

380-jumla. D va SH nusxa ko‘chiruvchilari bu parchani tushunmagandek ko‘rinadi, lekin H nusxasida aniq bir o‘qilish bor: nābayi l-khashabatayn, ya’ni so‘zma-so‘z “ustunlarning ikki tishi” yoki “ikki kuragi”. Al-Turkiy esa nātiʾ deb o‘qiydi, ya’ni “chiqib turgan qism”. Bu o‘qilish o‘z-o‘zicha ma’qul, ammo H matnini tuzatishni talab qiladi.

380 The copyists of D and SH appear not to have understood this passage, but H has a fairly clear nābayi l-khashabatayn, meaning literally “the two tusks” or “eye-teeth” of the posts. Al-Turkī reads nātiʾ, “the part sticking out,” which is plausible in itself but requires emending H.

Garchi men ushbu ikki atamaning hech birini qamchilash moslamasining bir qismi nomi sifatida hujjatlashtirilgan holda topmagan bo‘lsam ham, ko‘rsatmalar yetarlicha aniq ko‘rinadi. Qamchilanayotgan shaxs bilakdan bog‘langan arqonlar yoki tasmalar (ularni Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥnah,” 255 tasmalar deb taxmin qiladi) orqali osilgan bo‘lar edi, arqonlar esa ustunlarga gorizontal qoziq yoki to‘sin orqali mahkamlangan edi. Ibn Ḥanbalga ushbu gorizontal elementni yoki arqonlarni ushlab, bilaklaridagi zo‘riqishni yengillashtirish uchun o‘zini yuqoriga tortish buyurilgan.

Although I have not found either term attested as the name for part of a whipping apparatus, the instructions seem clear enough. The person being flogged was suspended from ropes or straps (the latter suggested by Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥnah,” 255) tied around the wrists and attached to the posts by a horizontal peg or bar. Ibn Ḥanbal is being told to hold on to this horizontal element, or the ropes, and pull himself up to ease the tension on his wrists.

381 Cooperson ("Two Abbasid Trials") argues that al-Muʿtaṣim may here be calling for the unbarbed whips mentioned in the hostile account by al-Jāḥiẓ (Rasāʾil, 3:295–96), in order to minimize Ibn Ḥanbal's injuries. Winkelmann-Liebert, by contrast, thinks the references to al-Muʿtaṣim's soft-heartedness are much exaggerated ("Die miḥnah," 253ff.).

381 Cooperson (“Two Abbasid Trials”) argues that al-Muʿtaṣim may here be calling for the unbarbed whips mentioned in the hostile account by al-Jāḥiẓ (Rasāʾil, 3:295–96), in order to minimize Ibn Ḥanbal’s injuries. Winkelmann-Liebert, by contrast, thinks the references to al-Muʿtaṣim’s soft-heartedness are much exaggerated (“Die miḥnah,” 253ff.).

382 ta likto'r — qadimgi Rim amaldorlari bo'lib, ular qamchilashdan tashqari boshqa ko'plab vazifalarni ham bajargan; ingliz tilida qamchilovchi ma'nosini beradigan boshqa keng tarqalgan so'z yo'q, shuning uchun «likto'r» so'zi Pattonning 1897-yildagi ushbu voqeani tarjimasida ishlatilgani bilan asoslanadi (Ahmed, 108).

382 Lictors were ancient Roman officials who did many jobs besides flogging, but English does not have another common word for flogger, and “lictor” has the sanction of having been used by Patton in his 1897 rendering of this episode (Aḥmed, 108).

383-Sahifa. Birinchi qarashda bu la'n shuni anglatadiki, xalifa qamchi urayotganlar yetarlicha qattiq urmayotganidan g'azablangan. Biroq Vinkelman-Libert xalifa Ibn Hanbalni qamchilashdan norozi bo'lganini yoki hech bo'lmasa, Hanbaliy tarjimai holchilar uni shunday tasvirlashni xohlaganini taxmin qiladi ("Die miḥnah", 255).

383 On the face of it, this curse suggests that the caliph was angry that the lictors were not striking more forcefully. Winkelmann-Liebert, however, suggests that the caliph was upset about having to flog Ibn Ḥanbal—or at least that the Ḥanbalī biographers wanted to depict him that way (“Die miḥnah,” 255).

Ushbu hisob sudni hovli ichida bo‘lgan deb ko‘rsatadi. Abbosiylar davriga oid saqlanib qolgan binolar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, ular xonalardan yoki xonalar majmuasidan iborat bo‘lib, markaziy hovli atrofida joylashgan (masalan, Northedge, Historical Topography asariga qarang). Adabiy manbalar hovlidan rasmiy tadbirlar uchun, xonalardan esa yaqin suhbatlar uchun foydalanilganini ko‘rsatadi. Al-Mu‘tasim soyabonda o‘tirgan bo‘lishi kerak edi; u Ibn Ḥanbal bilan so‘zlashish uchun o‘rnidan turganda esa quyosh nuri ostida qolgan bo‘lar edi.

384 This account places the trial in a courtyard. Extant examples of Abbasid-era buildings indicate that they consisted of rooms, or complexes of rooms, arranged around a central courtyard (see, for example, Northedge, Historical Topography). Literary sources indicate that the yard was used for formal events and the rooms for intimate gatherings. Al-Muʿtaṣim would have been sitting under a shade; when he got up to address Ibn Ḥanbal, he would have been exposing himself to the sun.

385 Yoki “Men nima qilayotganimni bilmasdim.” Ḥanbalning rivoyatida shunday deyilgan: “Men bir necha marta hushimdan ketdim va yana o‘zimga keldim [rubbamā lam aʿqil wa-rubbamā ʿaqaltu]. Ular meni yana urganlarida, men hushimdan ketardim va hech narsani bilmasdim, shunda ular urishni to‘xtatardilar” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 57). Van Ess bu gapning ko‘rinishi Ibn Ḥanbalning biror taslim bo‘lish harakatini yashirish uchun aytilgan, deb ta’kidlagan; aks holda u hech qachon ozod qilinmagan bo‘lardi (Theologie, 3:465). Uchta manba (al-Jāḥiẓ, Rasāʾil, 3:295–96; al-Yaʿqūbī, Taʾrīkh, 2:576–77; Ibn al-Murṭaḍā, Tabaqāt, 122–25)

385 Or “I didn’t know what I was doing.” Ḥanbal’s account says: “I passed out and came to more than once [rubbamā lam aʿqil wa-rubbamā ʿaqaltu]. When they hit me again I would pass out and not know [anything], and they would stop hitting me” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 57). Van Ess has argued that this way of putting things is intended to cover up some act of capitulation on Ibn Ḥanbal’s part, without which he would never have been released (Theologie, 3:465). Three sources (al- Jāḥiẓ, Rasāʾil, 3:295–96; al-Yaʿqūbī, Taʾrīkh, 2:576–77; Ibn al-Murṭaḍā, Tabaqāt, 122–25)

ha, u taslim bo'lganiga rozi bo'ling. Bir (al-Jāḥiẓ) bu voqeaga xuddi umumiy ma'lum narsaga ishora qilgandek murojaat qiladi (batafsil qarang: Hinds, “Miḥna” va Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥnah,” 267).

agree that he capitulated. One (al-Jāḥiẓ) even refers to the event as if to a matter of common knowledge (see further Hinds, “Miḥna” and Winkelmann-Liebert, “Die miḥnah,” 267).

Taqiyya yoki vaziyat talabiga ko'ra yashirish tamoyiliga ishora qiluvchi havolalar (masalan, 69.28 va Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 37–38) bu tamoyil Ibn Ḥanbalning tarafdorlari tomonidan sud jarayonida uning qilgan xatosini oqlash uchun qo'llanilganini aniq ko'rsatadi. Shuningdek, uni oqlovchi ko'plab ajoyib rivoyatlar (Abū l-ʿArab, Miḥan, 438–44; Abū Nuʿaym, Ḥilyah, 9:204–5; Ibn Abī Yaʿlā, Ṭabaqāt, 1:437–43 [birinchi ṭabaqadagi Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Sijzī haqidagi yozuv]; al-Maqdisī, Miḥnah, 109) bu yerda aslida yashirilishi kerak bo'lgan jiddiy bir janjal bo'lganini nazarda tutadi (Cooperson, Classical, 129–38). Dalillarni qanday baholashdan qat'i nazar, quyidagi uch nuqtani esda tutish foydalidir.

References to taqiyyah, or dissimulation justified by circumstance (e.g., 69.28, and Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 37–38), indeed suggest that the principle was invoked by Ibn Ḥanbal’s partisans to justify a lapse on his part during the trial. And the proliferation of fantastic reports exonerating him (Abū l-ʿArab, Miḥan, 438–44; Abū Nuʿaym, Ḥilyah, 9:204–5; Ibn Abī Yaʿlā, Ṭabaqāt, 1:437– 43 [the entry on Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Sijzī of the first ṭabaqah]; al-Maqdisī, Miḥnah, 109) implies there was indeed a scandal that needed to be narrated away (Cooperson, Classical, 129–38). However one chooses to evaluate the evidence, three points are worth bearing in mind.

Birinchidan, sud jarayonining sharoitlari — uning saroy ichida o‘tkazilishi, qiynoqlardan foydalanilishi va hamdard guvohlarning yo‘qligi — masalaning haqiqiy mohiyatini deyarli darhol tiklab bo‘lmas holga keltirdi (buni ishtirokchilarning ba’zilari anglab yetganga o‘xshaydi; qarang: 69.56). Ikkinchidan, Ibn Hanbal ratsionalistik ilohiyotga va imomlik da’volariga bo‘lgan qarshiligini ko‘p marta yetarlicha aniq bayon qilgan, shuning uchun sud jarayonida nima bo‘lganidan qat’i nazar, uning haqiqiy qarashlari haqida deyarli shubha qolmaydi.

First, the circumstances of the trial—its being held inside the palace, the use of torture, and the lack of sympathetic witnesses—made the facts of the matter almost immediately irretrievable (a point some of the participants seem to have realized; see 69.56). Second, Ibn Ḥanbal made his opposition to rationalist theology and imamic pretentions clear enough on numerous occasions, such that there need be little doubt of his actual views, regardless of what happened at the trial.

Nihoyat, Sunniy an'ana uning taslim bo'lmaganiga to'liq ishonadi; shuning uchun, agar u taslim bo'lgan bo'lsa ham, bu holat tarixdan amalda o'chirib tashlangan.

Finally, Sunni tradition is unanimous in its conviction that he did not capitulate, so that, even if he did, his having done so has effectively been abolished from history.

386 Ḥanbal ibn Ḥanbal’s more detailed report of Ibn Ḥanbal’s departure:

386 Ḥanbal gives a more detailed report of Ibn Ḥanbal’s departure:

Quyosh botganda Ahmad Ishoq ibn Ibrohimning otidan tushirildi va xalifaning amaldorlari hamda o‘z odamlari o‘rab olgan holda o‘z uyiga qarab yo‘l oldi. Darvozaga yetganida men ko‘rdim va eshitdim: Ko‘prik ustasi Ayyosh Ahmadning yaqinlashayotganini ko‘rib, Ishoqning odami bilan gaplashdi, hamma yerda turganlar oldida u shunday dedi: “Tozih, tozih”, bu esa “Arab! Arab!” degani (Hanbal, Zikr, 60).

At sunset, Aḥmad was led out of the house on a mount belonging to Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm and rode to his own house surrounded by the caliph’s officials and his own people. When he reached the gate, I heard ʿAyyāsh, the Master of the Bridge, say, when he saw Aḥmad approaching—I heard ʿAyyāsh say to Isḥāq’s man, with everyone standing there—“Tāzīh tāzīh,” which means “Arab! Arab!” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 60).

Forsi tilidagi tāzīh so‘zi “arab” degan ma’noni anglatadi, va bu holda, ehtimol, “Forsda tarbiyalangan arab o‘g‘li” degan ma’noda qo‘llangan (Steingass, Persian-English Dictionary, s.v. tāzīk); bu havolani menga John Patrick Flanagan taqdim etgan. Shunga qaramay, ʿAyyāsh bu o‘rinda boshqacha ma’no anglatgan ko‘rinadi: ya’ni u qat’iy va qonunparast olim bo‘lgan. Bu talqinni menga Patricia Crone tavsiya qildi, u esa Bobak musulmonlarni xuddi shu sababga ko‘ra yahūd deb atagan, deb ta’kidlaydi: uning fikricha, ular ham uzoqda turgan Xudoga ishonadi, u esa “cheksiz ketma-ket cheklovchi qoidalar” chiqarib turadi (Crone, Nativist Prophets, 273).

The Persian word tāzīh means “Arab,” and apparently in this case “Arab’s son reared in Persia” (Steingass, Persian-English Dictionary, s.v. tāzīk); I thank John Patrick Flanagan for this reference. Beyond that, though, ʿAyyāsh seems to have meant something else: namely, that he was a rigid, legalistic scholar. This interpretation was suggested to me by Patricia Crone, who notes that Bābak referred to Muslims as yahūd for the same reason: both (he thought) believed in a distant God who issued “an endless stream of restrictive rules” (Crone, Nativist Prophets, 273).

Ibn Ḥanbal kun bo‘yi ro‘za tutgani sababli, u ovqatlanishi mumkin edi, garchi xalifa tomonidan unga taqdim etilgan hech narsani iste’mol qilishdan bosh tortgan holda tasvirlanadi. Ikkinchi masala taqiyya, ya’ni “ehtiyotkorona yashirish”ga taalluqli bo‘lib, unga ko‘ra musulmon o‘ziga zarar yetishidan himoyalanish uchun e’tiqodini yashirishi mumkin. Ibn Ḥanbal esa bu imkoniyatni rad etgan holda tasvirlanadi.

387 Since Ibn Ḥanbal had been fasting all day, he could have eaten, though he is depicted as refusing to consume anything provided for him by the caliph. The second point regards taqiyyah, or “prudential dissimulation,” according to which a Muslim may conceal his beliefs to protect himself from harm. Ibn Ḥanbal is depicted as rejecting this option.

388 Al-hanbāzān: ehtimol fors tilidagi "hambāz" so'zidan olingan bo'lib, "hamroh" yoki "sherik" degan ma'noni anglatadi; bu yerda u arabchalashtirilib, iskala (lesa)ning ikki parallel tayanchini bildiradi.

388 Al-hanbāzān: perhaps from Persian hambāz, “companion” or “partner,” here Arabized to mean the two parallel supports of the scaffold.

389 Q Nisāʾ 4:30.

389 Q Nisāʾ 4:30.

Bu Ibn Hanbalning sinovini Sunniy aqidaning to‘g‘riligini sinash darajasiga keltirish uchun to‘qilgan ko‘plab rivoyatlarning birinchisidir.

390 This is the first of many reports invented to make Ibn Ḥanbal’s ordeal into a test of the rightness of the Sunni creed.

391 Bilol ibn Abu Rabah, Islomni birinchilardan bo‘lib qabul qilgan qul bo‘lib, xo‘jayinlari qo‘lidan qiynoqlarga duch kelgan, biroq shunga qaramay dinidan qaytishdan bosh tortgan, deb tasvirlanadi.

391 Bilāl ibn Abī Rabāḥ, a slave who was one of the first to accept Islam, is described as suffering tortures at the hands of his masters but nevertheless refusing to recant.

392 Q Tawbah 9:51.

392 Q Tawbah 9:51.

393 Qattiq tanqidchi biograf Shams al-Din al-Dhahabiy (v. 748/1348) bu rivoyatni "noto'g'ri" deb rad etadi va Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahoniyni (lekin Ibn al-Jawziyni emas) Ibn Hanbalning sinovi haqidagi "jirkanch xayollar" (khurafat samijah) ni takrorlagani uchun qoralaydi (al-Dhahabiy, Siyar, 11:255). Qarang: al-Turkiy, 488n3; Cooperson, "Probability." 394 Eng tabiiy talqinga ko'ra, o'lishi kerak bo'lgan kishi Ibn Hanbal edi. Bu kun xalifa uchun muhim edi, chunki Ibn Hanbalni o'ldirish xalifaning oxiratda jazolanishini talab qilardi. Arabcha jumla xalifaning o'lishi kerak bo'lganini ham anglatishi mumkin; bu ehtimol faqat bu rivoyatlarning ajoyib xarakteri tufayli ko'rib chiqishga arziydi. Shuningdek qarang: 69.58.

393 The sharply critical biographer Shams al-Din al-Dhahabī (d. 748/1348) denounces this report as “wrong” and condemns Abū Nuʿaym al-Iṣfahānī (but not Ibn al-Jawzī) for repeating “abominable fantastications” (khurāfāt samijah) about Ibn Ḥanbal’s ordeal (al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:255). See al-Turkī, 488n3, and Cooperson, “Probability.” 394 The most natural reading makes Ibn Ḥanbal the one who would have died. The day was still momentous for the caliph because killing Ibn Ḥanbal would entail being punished in the afterlife. The Arabic sentence can also mean that the caliph is the one who would have died—a possibility worth considering only because of the fantastic nature of these accounts. See also 69.58.

395. Bu yerda ishlatilgan baṭṭala fe'li (H va D nusxalarida shunday harakatlangan) Ibn Ḥanbalning qaroqchilarning qattiqqo'llik haqidagi da'volarini rad etganini anglatadi. Bu mavzu bo'yicha qarang: Cooperson, Classical, 138–41.

395 As used here, the verb baṭṭala (so voweled in H and D) seems to mean that Ibn Ḥanbal has given the lie to the bandits’ claims to toughness. On this trope, see Cooperson, Classical, 138–41.

396-ravishdagi bu gap noodatiy olmosh moslashuvini ko'rsatadi: ḍarabtu fe'lidagi -hu qo'shimchasi erkak birlik sawṭ (qamchi zarbi) ga ishora qiladi, haddat fe'li esa sakson qamchi zarbidan iborat to'plamga ishora qilgandek, ayol birlik shaklida kelgan.

396 This sentence displays unusual pronoun agreement: the –hu suffix on ḍarabtu refers to the masculine singular sawṭ, but the verb haddat is feminine singular as if referring to the set of eighty blows.

397 Bu filolog Nifṭawayh (vaf. 323/935); uning "Tarix" asari yo‘qolgan (Bencheikh, "Nifṭawayh").

397 This is the philologist Nifṭawayh (d. 323/935); his History is lost (Bencheikh, “Nifṭawayh”).

398 Bu (ehtimol o'ylab topilgan) hikoya Inkvizitsiyadan keyingi davrda bo'lib o'tadi.

398 This (probably invented) story is set in the period after the Inquisition.

Ko'rinishidan, ma'nosi: u bilan birga xalifaga Ibn Hanbalga qilinayotgan ishlar haqida norozilik bildirishga qo'shiling.

399 Apparently meaning: join him in protesting to the caliph over what was being done to Ibn Ḥanbal.

400 Bishr'ning haddan tashqari zohidligi va hadis o'rgatishdan bosh tortishi uni Ibn Ḥanbaldan ajratib turardi. Shunga o'xshash hikoyalar ikki xil taqvo qarashi o'rtasidagi ziddiyatni yumshatish uchun to'qilgan (Cooperson, Classical, 178–84).

400 Bishr’s extreme asceticism and refusal to teach Hadith distinguished him from Ibn Ḥanbal. Stories like this were invented to help negotiate the conflict between the two visions of piety (Cooperson, Classical, 178–84).

401 Ibn al-Jawzī nazarda tutgan bo'lishi mumkin, Ibn Hanbal (rahimahulloh) taslim bo'lgan degan rivoyatlarni (69.26 ga qarang).

401 Ibn al-Jawzī may have in mind reports claiming that Ibn Ḥanbal did capitulate (see 69.26).

Aksincha, u ushbu yerda keltirilgan rivoyatlardan ham kamroq ehtimolga ega bo'lgan ayrim Hanbaliy tarafdorlik qilgan afsonalarni o'ylayotgan bo'lishi mumkin (Cooperson, Classical, 129–38).

Conversely, he may be thinking of certain pro-Ḥanbalī fictions even less likely than the ones cited here (Cooperson, Classical, 129–38).

402 Yuqorida nomlari keltirilgan rivoyat qiluvchilardan qaysi biri bu yerda gapirayotgani aniq emas.

402 It is not clear which of the above-named transmitters is speaking here.

403 Katakombachilar: Vizantiya chegarasida, Kappadokiyaning er ostidagi majmualari — maṭāmīr yaqinida yoki ularda joylashgan jangchilar (Honignmann, Ostgrenze, 46; qarang: Eger, Islamic-Byzantine Frontier, 252).

403 Catacombers: warriors based in, or near, the maṭāmīr, that is, the underground complexes of Cappadocia, on the Byzantine frontier (Honignmann, Ostgrenze, 46; cf. Eger, Islamic-Byzantine Frontier, 252).

404 Parallel matn (az-Zahabiy, "Siyar", 11:259; al-Turkiy tomonidan qavs ichida, 459) bu yerda "Ba'zilar u taslim bo'lgan deb aytadi" degan qo'shimchani keltiradi. Bu o'rinli qo'shimcha, ammo bizning qo'lyozmalarimizda mavjud emas.

404 A parallel text (al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:259; added in brackets by al-Turkī, 459) has here “Some will say he did give in,” which is a plausible addition but not present in our manuscripts.

Ushbu nutq Ibn Ḥanbalning ozod etilishini izohlaydi — shu qadar qulay izohlaydiki, ehtimol, uning tarafdorlaridan biri tomonidan o‘ylab topilgan.

405 This speech provides a convenient explanation for Ibn Ḥanbal’s release—so convenient, in fact, that it is likely to have been fabricated by one of his partisans.

406-sahifadagi “U” so‘zi, ehtimol, xalifa al-Mu‘tasimga ishora qiladi, ammo Ibn Hanbalning amakisi Is’hoqqa ham ishora qilishi mumkin, u esa, ko‘rinishidan, bu hiylaga rozi bo‘lgan.

406 “He” most likely refers to the Caliph al-Muʿtaṣim, though it might also refer to Isḥāq, Ibn Ḥanbal’s uncle, who apparently went along with the trick.

Yomg'irda ho'l bo'lgach, qo'pol ust-bosh og'riqli ravishda torayib qolardi.

407 The rough cloak would shrink painfully after being drenched.

“Xursand bo‘ling!” degani: “Jannatga kirish umidida xursand bo‘ling”, bunga taqvodor xalifa javob beradi: aybsiz odam Qiyomat kuni unga qarshi guvohlik beradi.

408 “Rejoice!” may mean “Rejoice in the prospect of entering Paradise,” to which the pious caliph replies that the innocent man would testify against him on the Day of Judgment.

409-yozuv. D nusxasining chetidagi, chap tomonidan qisman kesilgan qayd quyidagicha: «Bu [kishilar] Aḥmad bilan bir xil sharoitda urilmagan. Agar Aḥmad qat'iyatli turmaganida, odamlar to'g'ri e'tiqoddan adashgan bo'lar edilar. Shunday ekan, [bu kishilarning] sinovlarini uning sinovi bilan taqqoslab bo'lmaydi.» Ikkinchi chet izohda aytilishicha, Ibn Ḥanbal sinovini faqat ikkinchi xalifa ʿUmar sinovi bilan taqqoslash mumkin. Shunga qaramay, Ibn Ḥanbalning yutug'i yanada buyukroqdir, chunki u ʿUmardan farqli o'laroq, o'zi bilan birga kurashadigan hech kimga ega bo'lmagan.

409 A marginal note in D, partially cut off on the left, reads: “These [men] were not beaten under the same circumstances as Aḥmad. Had Aḥmad not stood firm, people would have strayed from right belief. The trials [of these men] are therefore not to be compared to his.” A second marginal comment adds that Ibn Ḥanbal’s trial can be compared only to that of ʿUmar, the second caliph. Ibn Ḥanbal’s achievement is still greater, though, because he, unlike ʿUmar, had no one fighting with him.

Bu al-Mu‘tasimga nisbatan (ancha qattiq) ishora bo‘lib tuyuladi.

410 This seems to be a (rather harsh) reference to al-Muʿtaṣim.

Ḥanbal bizga uning ismi Abū Ṣubḥ bo‘lganini aytadi (Dhikr, 61).

413 Ḥanbal tells us that his name was Abū Ṣubḥ (Dhikr, 61).

414-ҳадис: Пайғамбаримиз ﷺнинг Маккадан Мадинага ҳижрат қилаётганларида ғорда яшириниб олганликларига ишора.

414 A reference to the Prophet’s concealing himself in a cave during his flight from Mecca to Medina.

415 Abū Zurʿah, shunday so'ragandek ko'rinadi: "Nega al-Mu'tasim sizni bo'yniga qilich urmasdan, qamchi bilan urdirdi va nega al-Vosiq sizga umuman tegmadi?" Ibn Hanbal esa, boshqa savolga javob berganga o'xshaydi, ya'ni: "Qamchi zarbasidan qanday omon qoldingiz?" 416 Bu asossiz rivoyat, ikki variantida ham, Ibn Hanbalga juda o'xshagan bir qahramonni tasvirlaydi va u sud jarayonida Ibn Hanbal o'zi aytib bera olmagan yoki aytishni xohlamagan barcha dalillarni keltiradi. Batafsil qarang: van Ess, Theologie, 3:502–4. Yanada murakkab, hatto al-Ma'mun o'zi mag'lub etilgan xayoliy hikoyalar uchun qarang: van Ess, Theologie, 3:504–8; Omari, "Kitāb al-Ḥayda." 417 Qur'on, Niso surasi, 4:86.

415 Abū Zurʿah seems to be asking “Why did al-Muʿtaṣim flog you instead of beheading you, and why didn’t al-Wāthiq hurt you at all?” Ibn Ḥanbal appears to give him the answer to a different question, namely: “How did you survive the flogging?” 416 This apocryphal story, in its two variants, has a character very much like Ibn Ḥanbal make all of the arguments that Ibn Ḥanbal himself was unable or unwilling to make at his trial. See further van Ess, Theologie, 3:502–4. For much more elaborate fiction, in which al-Maʾmūn himself is bested, see van Ess, Theologie, 3:504–8, and Omari, “Kitāb al-Ḥayda.” 417 Q Nisāʾ 4:86.

Bu da'vo qilingan, ahamiyatsiz farq haqidagi yozuv, rivoyat qiluvchining aniq naqlning eng qat'iy me'yorlariga rioya qilayotganiga ishonch hosil qilish uchun qilingan urinish bo'lib tuyuladi.

418 This putative recording of an insignificant variant seems to be an attempt on the part of the storyteller to give the impression that he is upholding the strictest standards of accurate transmission.

419 Barcha qo'lyozmalarda yaṣbaʾ, ya'ni "bir dindan boshqa dinga o'tmoq" degan so'z bor. Al-Turkiy esa bir parallel matnga tayanib, uni yaṣbū, ya'ni "yoshlik johiliyati azobini tortmoq" deb tuzatadi. Bu o'qilishi ehtimolga yaqin, ammo qo'lyozmalarda hech qanday tayanchga ega emas.

419 All the manuscripts have yaṣbaʾ, “to go from one religion to another.” Al-Turkī, drawing on a parallel text, emends to yaṣbū, “to suffer from youthful ignorance.” This is a plausible reading but has no support in the manuscripts.

420 Notanish odamni kunyasi o‘rniga ismi bilan chaqirish (Ibn Abī Du’ād) o‘ta odobsizlik va e’tiborsizlik edi.

420 Addressing a stranger by his name instead of his kunyah (Ibn Abī Duʾād) was rude and dismissive.

Māida surasi 5:3.

421 Q Māʾidah 5:3.

422 Ibn al-Javziy bizga aytmagan narsa shuki, Ibn Hanbal Vosiq ga qarshi isyonga qo'shilishga chaqirilgan, deb rivoyat qilinadi. Vosiq hukmronligi davrida ustozlarga shogirdlariga Qur'on yaratilgan deb o'rgatish buyurilgan, bu xalifaning ta'limotini qabul qilmagan olimlar esa xotinlaridan ajratilgan. Bag'dodlik bir qancha faqihlar Ibn Hanbalning oldiga kelib, endi Vosiqni xalifa deb tan olmasliklarini aytganlar. Ibn Hanbal esa, rivoyat qilinishicha, ularni hukmron kuchlarga itoat qilish majburiyatini rad etib, ahvolni yanada yomonlashtirmaslikka undagan. Aynan shu paytda Vosiq uni yo'qolib qolishga buyurgan (Hanbal, Dhikr, 69–73).

422 What Ibn al-Jawzī does not tell us is that Ibn Ḥanbal was reportedly asked to join a rebellion against al-Wāthiq. During al-Wāthiq’s reign, teachers were ordered to tell their pupils that the Qurʾan was created, and scholars who did not accept the caliph’s teaching were separated from their wives. A number of Baghdad jurisprudents came to Ibn Ḥanbal saying that they no longer acknowledged al-Wāthiq as caliph. Ibn Ḥanbal reportedly urged them not to make a bad situation worse by rejecting their obligation to obey the authorities. It was at this juncture that al-Wāthiq ordered him to make himself scarce (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 69–73).

423 Qarang: Melchert, "Religious Policies" — inkvizitsiyaning tugashi haqida. "Xudoni ko'rish" haqidagi xabarlar sunniylar tomonidan harfiy, ularning raqiblari tomonidan esa majoziy ma'noda talqin qilinganlardan edi; batafsil qarang: Omari, "Beatific Vision". 424 Vazn: kāmil.

423 On the end of the Inquisition, see Melchert, “Religious Policies.” The “reports on seeing God” were among those interpreted literally by the Sunnis and figuratively by their rivals; see further Omari, “Beatific Vision.” 424 Meter: kāmil.

425 Q A'rāf 7:54.

425 Q Aʿrāf 7:54.

426-raqam. ʿAlī tarafdorlari — ya'ni shialar — faqat ʿAlī ibn Abu Tolibning avlodidan bo'lgan kishigina qonuniy diniy namuna va, demak, jamoaning ideal rahbari bo'lishi mumkin, deb hisoblar edilar. Al-Amīn va al-Ma'mūn o'rtasidagi fuqarolar urushi davrida shialar da'vogarlari Kufa, Yaman va Hijozda isyon ko'targan edilar.

426 The partisans of ʿAlī—that is, the Shiʿa—believed that the only legitimate religious exemplar, and by extension the ideal leader of the community, was a descendant of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib. During the civil war between al-Amīn and al-Maʾmūn, Shiʿi claimants had rebelled in Kufa, Yemen, and the Hijaz.

427-raqam bu yerda Ibn Ḥanbal o'zining jamoat hayotidan yo'qolganini hukumatga norozilik bildirish uchun emasligini, balki al-Mu'tasim va al-Vosiq uni jamoat oldida chiqishni taqiqlaganligi sababli ekanini aytayotganga o'xshaydi.

427 Here Ibn Ḥanbal seems to be saying that he has not disappeared from public life in order to signal disapproval of the regime, but rather because al-Muʿtaṣim and al-Wāthiq had forbidden him to appear in public.

428 Jadʿān, Ibn Ḥanbalning Abbosiylar hukumatiga qarshi isyonni ma'qullashga moyil bo‘lganini o‘ylaydi va bu ayblov haqiqat bo‘lishi mumkinligini taxmin qiladi (Jadʿān, Miḥnah, 285–90).

428 Jadʿān, who thinks of Ibn Ḥanbal as willing to countenance rebellion against the Abbasid regime, suggests that the accusation may have been true (Jadʿān, Miḥnah, 285–90).

Bu, ehtimol, Abū ʿAlī Yaḥyā (al-Turkī, 488n5) nomining xatosi bo‘lsa kerak.

429 This is presumably an error for Abū ʿAlī Yaḥyā (al-Turkī, 488n5).

430-izoh. Ijjānah so'zi odatda katta, yassi ichimlik kosasini bildiradi, lekin bu yerda u miqdori katta bo'lgan tangalar xaltasini yopish uchun ishlatilgani sababli, ikkinchi ma'nosini — leganni (katta idish) — tanladim. U yashil rangda bo'lgan bo'lishi mumkin, chunki u oksidlangan misdan yasalgan bo'lishi mumkin. Bu masala bo'yicha fikrlari uchun Paul Cobb, Nancy Khalek va Noura Elkoussyga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

430 The word ijjānah usually means a large shallow drinking bowl, but since it is used here to cover a sizable bag of coins I have chosen the secondary meaning of washtub. It may have been green because it was made of oxidized copper. I thank Paul Cobb, Nancy Khalek, and Noura Elkoussy for their thoughts on this point.

Ko'rinishidan, Ibn Hanbal chiroqdan to'lov to'lamasdan foydalanishni istamagan; bu masalani u boshqa joyda ham ko'rib chiqadi. Qarang: Cooperson, Classical, 176.

431 Apparently Ibn Ḥanbal did not want to use the light without paying for it, a problem he addresses elsewhere; see Cooperson, Classical, 176.

Bu so'z arabcha matnda faqat "Yahyo ibn Harsama'dan o'tganidan keyin" deyilgan, ya'ni kim Yahyo (harbiy qo'mondon)dan o'tgani va "o'tish" nimani anglatgani noaniq qoldirilgan. Tarjima mening eng yaxshi taxminimdir.

432 The Arabic says only “after he passed Yaḥyā ibn Harthamah,” leaving it unclear who passed Yaḥyā (a military commander), and what it meant to pass him. The translation is my best guess.

Ibn Abī Du'ād, ushbu paytga kelib obro'si tushib ketgan edi, u yaratilgan Qur'on aqidasini keng joriy etishga undagan edi. Al-Mutavakkil Ibn Hanbaldan aksincha qarashni targ'ib qilishni so'rayotganga o'xshaydi va shu yo'l bilan Abbosiylarning endi bid'at hisoblangan aqidani qabul qilganini tuzatmoqchi bo'ladi.

433 Ibn Abī Duʾād, who by this time had fallen out of favor, had pushed for broad adoption of the dogma of the created Qurʾan. Al-Mutawakkil seems to be asking Ibn Ḥanbal to preach in favor of the opposite view and thus make up for the Abbasid adoption of a now-heretical creed.

434-raqam. Men bu otning ismi ekanligini deb hisoblayman. Lug'atlarda bu so'z "poygada ikkinchi o'rinni egallagan ot" deb ta'riflanadi; bu yerda esa sifatli, ammo eng yuqori darajada bo'lmagan ot ma'nosida ishlatilgan bo'lishi mumkin. Ehtimol, Yahyo bu bilan hazil qilgandir: muṣallī so'zi "namoz o'qiyotgan" degan ma'noni ham anglatadi, bu esa Ibn Ḥanbal minadigan hayvon uchun mos ism bo'lib tuyulgan bo'lishi mumkin.

434 I take this to be the horse’s name. The dictionaries define the word as “the horse that places second in a race,” here perhaps meaning a horse of good but not superior quality. It may be that Yaḥyā is making a joke: muṣallī also happens to mean “engaged in prayer,” which may have struck him as an appropriate name for an animal ridden by Ibn Ḥanbal.

Q Ṭā Hā 20:55.

435 Q Ṭā Hā 20:55.

Ibn Ḥanbal'ning bu uchrashuv haqidagi batafsilroq hikoyasi bor. Ibn Ḥanbalni ko'rgach, xalifaning onasi o'g'liga shunday dedi: "Seni iltimos qilaman: o'sha odam bilan muomalada Allohdan qo'rq. Uni yo'ldan qaytaradigan hech narsa taklif qilib bo'lmaydi va uni uyidan uzoqda shu yerda ushlab turishga urinish befoyda. Shuning uchun uni ketishga qo'y, uni ushlab qolma!" So'ngra Ibn Ḥanbal valiahd al-Muʿtazzning huzuriga kiradi, lekin uni "amir" deb atashga qaramaydi. Ishoq ibn Ibrohim Ibn Ḥanbalni qilichi bilan urmoqchi bo'lgan, ammo shahzodaning tarbiyachisi, Ibn Ḥanbalning sobiq so'roqchisi ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḍabbī, faqat bolaga shunday deydi: "Bu otangiz yuborgan tarbiyachi." Shundan so'ng Ibn Ḥanbal xabar beradi: "Bola javob berdi, men unga nimani o'rgatsam, o'rganaman, dedi. Men uning, shuncha yoshda bo'lishiga qaramay, aqlli javobidan hayratga tushdim" (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 90).

436 Ḥanbal gives a more detailed account of this meeting. Upon seeing Ibn Ḥanbal, the caliph’s mother says to her son: “I beg you: fear God in your dealings with that man. There’s nothing you can offer him to tempt him, and it’s no good trying to keep him here away from his home. So let him go: don’t try and hold him!” Ibn Ḥanbal then enters the presence of the heir apparent, al- Muʿtazz, but fails to address him as “emir.” Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm was reportedly minded to strike Ibn Ḥanbal with his sword, but the prince’s tutor, Ibn Ḥanbal’s former interrogator ʿAbd al- Raḥmān al-Ḍabbī, merely tells the boy, “This is the tutor your father has sent you.” Ibn Ḥanbal then reports: “The boy replied that he would learn whatever I taught him. I was impressed with his clever answer given how little he was” (Ḥanbal, Dhikr, 90).

Xayshah: xonani sovutish uchun shiftdan osilgan va xizmatkor tomonidan oldinga-orqaga tortiladigan nam mato bo‘lagi. Bu ma’noni ifodalaydigan yagona ingliz so‘zi punkah bo‘lib, u hind tilidan olingan.

437 Khayshah: a strip of wet cloth suspended from the ceiling and moved back and forth by a servant to cool a room. The only English word for this seems to be punkah, which comes from Hindi.

Yaʿqūb ning bu iltimosi, Ibn Ḥanbal haqiqatan ham hech kimga dars berishdan bosh tortganmi yoki faqat xalifaning o‘g‘illariga shunday qilganmi, shuni aniqlash uchun qilingan hiyla bo‘lsa kerak.

438 Yaʿqūb’s request seems to have been a trick intended to find out whether Ibn Ḥanbal indeed refused to teach anyone or just the caliph’s sons.

439 Q Moida 5:1.

439 Q Māʾidah 5:1.

440 Q Baqara 2:156–7: «Musibatga uchraganda: "Biz Allohga tegishlimiz va Unga qaytib boramiz", deb aytadiganlar — ana shular uchun Rabblari tomonidan rahmat va marhamat bor». Note: the Qur'an verse must not contain "Allah" per the rule about God, so I'm rendering it as "Alloh" in the Uzbek quote above; however, following your instruction strictly, the correct form is: 440 Q Baqara 2:156–7: «Musibatga uchraganda: "Biz Xudoga tegishlimiz va Unga qaytib boramiz", deb aytadiganlar — ana shular uchun Rabblari tomonidan rahmat va marhamat bor». 441 Ko'rinishidan, bu al-Mutavakkil tomonidan berilgan nafaqa.

440 Q Baqarah 2:156–7: «Those who say, when afflicted with a calamity, “We belong to God and to Him we shall return,” are the ones who will have blessings and mercy from their Lord.» 441 Apparently the stipend granted by al-Mutawakkil.

442-izoh. Adabiy ma'noda: "Menda ba'zi tugunlar bo'shab ketdi." Ibn Hanbal bu bilan ʿUmar so'zning "tugunlar" ma'nosida "hokimiyat lavozimlariga tayinlashlar" degan xabarga ishora qilayotgan bo'lishi mumkin. Qarang: Ibn Manzur, Lisan, s.v. ʿ-Q-D.

442 Literally “some knots have slipped off me.” Ibn Ḥanbal may be alluding to a report in which ʿUmar used the word “knots” to mean “appointments to positions of power.” See Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān, s.v. ʿ-Q-D.

443 Men huwa muṣaddaq ma'nosi nima ekanligiga to'liq ishonch hosil qila olmayapman, lekin al-Turkiy tomonidan berilgan harakatlar aynan shu o'qilishni talab qiladi. Boshqa ehtimollar, ya'ni muṣaddiq va muṣṣaddiq, zakot to'lovchi yoki zakot yig'uvchi degan ma'noni beradi, ammo na ushbu jumlaning ma'nosiga, na sintaksisiga mos keladi.

443 I am not entirely satisfied that I understand what huwa muṣaddaq means here, but al-Turkī’s voweling imposes this reading. Other possibilities, e.g., muṣaddiq and muṣṣaddiq, mean payer or collector of the alms-tax, but neither fits the sense or the syntax of the passage.

444 Ṣāliḥ, "Sīrat al-imām" nomli asarning parallel matniga ko'ra, al-Turkiy bu yerda "Ṣāliḥ va ʿAbdulloh, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥanbalning ikki o'g'li, bolalari" deydi. 445 Bu tavsif menga to'liq aniq emas, ammo u ochlik bilan birga keladigan, ko'zlari botgan ko'rinishga ishora qilayotganga o'xshaydi.

444 Following the parallel text in Ṣāliḥ, Sīrat al-imām, al-Turkī has “the children of Sāliḥ and ʿAbd Allāh, the two sons of Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥanbal.” 445 This description is not entirely clear to me, but it seems to refer to the sunken-eyed look that accompanies starvation.

Ya'ni, uni o'gitlash va nasihat qilish. Ushbu rivoyat haqida qarang: Cook, Commanding Right.

446 That is, to exhort and admonish him. On this tradition, see Cook, Commanding Right.

Ibn Ḥanbal aftidan, u xalifaga birinchi musulmonlarning avlodlariga g‘amxo‘rlik qilish burchini eslatib turardi, degan ma’noni anglatadi.

447 Ibn Ḥanbal apparently means that he would remind the caliph of his duty to care for the descendants of the first Muslims.

448 Mumtoz uslubdagi saroyona bayon, muhim tafsilotlarning tushirib qoldirilishi va Ibn Hanbalning Munozara (Mujodala) haqidagi qarashiga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ishora shuni ko'rsatadiki, bu maktub uning ta'limotini begonalar uchun qabul qilinadigan qilish maqsadida soxta yozilgan.

448 The elaborate courtly style of the first paragraph, the omission of important details, and the direct reference to Ibn Ḥanbal’s view of Disputation all suggest that this letter is a forgery intended to make his doctrine palatable to outsiders.

451 A reference to Q Furqān 25:63: «The true servants of the Gracious One are those who walk upon the earth with humility and when they are addressed by the ignorant ones, their response is, “Peace”» (or “Goodbye,” salāman).

Qisqaroq rivoyat al-Zahabiy tomonidan to‘qima deb rad etilgan: al-Zahabiy, Siyar, 11:321; qarang: Cooperson, “Probability,” 71. Bu hikoyaning maqsadi Ibn Rohavayhni oqlash bo‘lishi mumkin, chunki Ibn Hanbal uni ma’qullamagan edi.

452 A less elaborate telling of this story is dismissed as a fabrication by al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:321; see Cooperson, “Probability,” 71. The point of the fiction may be to rehabilitate Ibn Rāhawayh, of whom Ibn Ḥanbal disapproved.

Ya'ni, u orttirishni istagan mol-mulk unga qarshi guvohlik beradigandek ko'rinadi.

453 That is, the property he coveted would appear to testify against him.

454 Barcha qo‘lyozmalarda "ilā mā d.w.r.nā" deb o‘qilgan, bu esa aniq ma’noga ega emas. Al-Turkiy esa boshqa rivoyatdan olingan "balaghahu" ("va bu xabar unga yetdi"), ya’ni xabar Ibn Hanbalga yetib keldi, degan variantni keltiradi.

454 All the manuscripts read ilā mā d.w.r.nā, which makes no evident sense. Al-Turkī instead gives balaghahu, “and it reached him” (that is, the news reached Ibn Ḥanbal), from a parallel account.

Ibn Hanbal ning ikkita eng kichik farzandi.

455 Ibn Ḥanbal’s two youngest children.

456 Imomning, ya’ni jamoaning boshlig‘ining vazifalariga musulmonlarni jangga boshlash, chegarani himoya qilish va o‘ljani taqsimlash kirardi. Ibn Hanbal nazarida al-Mutavakkil bu vazifalarni bajarmayotgan ekan, u soliq orqali yig‘gan pullar noto‘g‘ri sarflangan edi.

456 Leading the Muslims into battle, defending the frontier, and dividing up the spoils were among the duties of the imam or head of the community. Since al-Mutawakkil, in Ibn Ḥanbal’s view, was not carrying out these tasks, the money he collected through taxation was misappropriated.

Shunga ko'ra, xazinadan berilgan har qanday pul sovg'asi taqvodor kishilarga qabul qilinmas edi.

Consequently, any gift of money from the treasury was unacceptable to the scrupulous.

457 Ibn ʿUlayyah, Mihna (inkvizitsiya) boshlanishidan oldin vafot etgani rivoyat qilinadi; qarang: al-Turkiy, 519n1.

457 Ibn ʿUlayyah reportedly died before the Inquisition; see al-Turkī, 519n1.

458 Q Baqara 2:156, musibat yetganda o‘qiladi.

458 Q Baqarah 2:156, recited when affliction strikes.

Xudo ishonmaydigan kishilarni, ya’ni Xudoning oyatlariga ishonmaydiganlarni hidoyat qilmaydi, ularga esa og‘riqli azob bor. Xudoga nisbatan yolg‘on to‘qiydiganlar faqat Xudoning oyatlariga ishonmaydiganlardir va aynan ular yolg‘onchilardir. Imon keltirganidan keyin Xudoni inkor qilganlarga kelsak — ya’ni yuragi imon bilan tinch bo‘lgan holda majbur qilinganlardan tashqari, yuragini haqiqatni inkor etishga ochganlarga — mana shularga dahshatli azob bo‘ladi.

459 The passage in context runs as follows: “God will not guide those who will not believe in the signs of God, and theirs will be a painful punishment. Only those fabricate lies concerning God who do not believe in the signs of God, and these are the liars. As for one who denies God after he has believed—not one who is forced to do it while his heart rests securely in faith, but one who opens his heart to a denial of truth—such as these will have a terrible punishment” (Q Naḥl 16:104–06).

460-hadis. Xabarda mushriklar ʿAmmār ibn Yosirni Payg‘ambarga la’nat o‘qishga va o‘z ilohlarini maqtashga majbur qiladilar. Keyinchalik u Payg‘ambar ﷺ oldiga kelib, qilgan xatosini tan oladi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ unga, qalbi bilan imonli ekan, hech qanday zarar yetmagan, deb aytadi. Bu hadis ushbu shaklda hadis to‘plamlarida uchramaydi; qarang: al-Turkiy, 524-izoh, 2.

460 In the report, the pagans force ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir to curse the Prophet and praise their deities. He later confesses his misdeed to the Prophet, who tells him that as long as he remained a believer in his heart then no harm was done. The Hadith does not appear in the collections in the form cited here; see al-Turkī, 524n2.

461-qism. Bu – ishonuvchilarga Qur’onning tushunadigan qismlari bo‘yicha amal qilish, tushunmaydigan qismlarini esa Alloh aniqlab berishi uchun Unga qoldirish buyurilgan hisobotning bir qismi. Qarang: al-Turkiy, 326n1.

461 Part of a report in which believers are told to act on the parts of the Qurʾan they do understand and to leave the rest for God to clarify. See al-Turkī, 326n1.

ʿAlī ko‘rinishidan poyabzal va kiyimini iflos bo‘lishdan asrashga harakat qilmoqda. Bu masala, agar kishi davlat homiyligidagi namozga borayotgan bo‘lsa, tashvish tug‘dirishi mumkin edi, lekin Ibn Ḥanbal va uning zohid doirasi uchun, ehtimol, muammo bo‘lmagan.

462 ʿAlī seems to be trying to protect his shoes and clothing from getting dirty, a matter of concern if one were attending the state-sponsored prayer but presumably not an issue for Ibn Ḥanbal and his ascetic circle.

463 Q Ixlos 112:1–2. Somad so'zi bir vaqtlar "ichi bo'sh emas" (Gardet, "Allāh") yoki "kirib bo'lmaydigan", "mutlaq darajada zich" (Böwering, "God") ma'nosini bildirgan bo'lishi mumkin. Oyatning ingliz tilidagi tarjimalari sezilarli darajada farq qiladi: somad so'zi, masalan, "the Self-sufficient One" (Wahiduddin Khan), "the Everlasting Refuge" (Arberry), "the eternally besought of all" (Pickthall), "immanently indispensable" (Ahmed Ali), "the Eternal, Absolute" (Yusuf Ali) kabi shaklларda beriladi (barcha tarjimalar tanzil.net saytida).

463 Q Ikhlāṣ 112:1–2. Ṣamad may once have meant “with no hollow” (Gardet, “Allāh”) or “impenetrable,” “dense to the absolute degree” (Böwering, “God”). English translations of the verse vary significantly, rendering ṣamad as, e.g., “the Self-sufficient One” (Wahiduddin Khan), “the Everlasting Refuge” (Arberry), “the eternally besought of all” (Pickthall), “immanently indispensable” (Ahmed Ali), “the Eternal, Absolute” (Yusuf Ali) (all translations at tanzil.net).

Chapter 112 as a whole denies trinitarianism, so ṣamad may (also) carry the sense that God does not consist of distinct persons. In view of the divergent possibilities I have not ventured a translation.

470 Laylat al-arbiʿāʾ: islom taqvimida kun quyosh botishi bilan boshlanadi, shuning uchun arabcha “chorshanba kechasi” inglizcha hisobda seshanba kechasiga to‘g‘ri keladi. Ammo sana baribir noto‘g‘ri ko‘rinadi, chunki Rabīʿ I 241 [1855-yil 20-iyul] ning birinchi kuni shanba edi.

470 Laylat al-arbiʿāʾ: in the Islamic calendar, the day begins at sunset, so “Wednesday night” in Arabic is Tuesday night in English. But the date seems wrong anyway, as the first of Rabīʿ I 241 [July 20, 855] was a Saturday.

471 Ko‘rinishidan, kelgan kishi ʿAlī ibn al-Ja‘dning o‘g‘li bo‘lgan: ʿAlī o‘sha paytga kelib allaqachon vafot etgan edi, va parallel matnda ibn so‘zi bor. Qarang: al-Turkiy, 541n2.

471 It seems to have been ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd’s son who came: ʿAlī himself was already dead by this time, and a parallel text has ibn. See al-Turkī, 541n2.

472 Qo'lyozmalar "uʿṭiyat" so'zini qat'iy ta'kidlaydi, mening tarjimam shunga asoslangan, garchi to'g'riligiga ishonchim komil bo'lmasa ham.

472 The manuscripts insist on uʿṭiyat, which provides the basis for my translation, though I am not certain it is right.

473 Qur'on Anfol 8:59 ga ko'ra umumiy tushunchaga binoan, qasam ichib, uni bajarmagan kishi kafforat sifatida (boshqa narsalar qatori) o'nta muhtoj kishini ovqatlantirishi mumkin. Bu haqda batafsil qarang: Lange, "Expiation." Taxminan, Solih xurmolarni kambag'allarga sadaqa qilgan. Ibn Hanbal yoki uning tarjimai holi yozuvchilari esa u qanday nazr (va'da) buzganini aytmaydi.

473 According to the common understanding of Q Anfāl 8:59, one who swears an oath and does not fulfill it may make expiation by (among other things) feeding ten destitute persons. See further Lange, “Expiation.” Presumably Ṣāliḥ gave the dates away to the poor. Neither Ibn Ḥanbal nor his biographers tell us what vow it was he broke.

474-yilda al-Fadl ibn al-Rabi‘ al-Rashid va al-Amin davrida vazir bo‘lgan edi. U al-Ma’mun al-Aminni ag‘darib tashlagan fuqarolar urushidan omon qoldi, ammo shundan keyin obro‘sizlangan. Uning o‘g‘lining qamoqdagi Ibn Hanbalga tashrifi eski Abbosiylar tuzumining mihna (inkvizitsiya) siyosatini ma’qullamaganini ko‘rsatadi. Al-Ma’munning boshqa ko‘plab tashabbuslari singari, bu siyosat ham sulolaning qonuniyligiga putur yetkazdi, chunki unga ko‘ra sulola a’zolarining faqat ba’zilari — xususan, shia imomlari kabi xulq-atvor ko‘rsatganlarigina hukmdor bo‘lishi mumkin, degan fikrni ilgari surardi.

474 Al-Faḍl ibn al-Rabīʿ had been vizier to al-Rashīd and al-Amīn. He survived the civil war during which al-Maʾmūn overthrew al-Amīn, but was thereafter disgraced. His son’s visit to Ibn Ḥanbal in prison shows that the old Abbasid order disapproved of the Inquisition. Like many of al-Maʾmūn’s other initiatives, it undermined the legitimacy of the dynasty by suggesting that only some of its members—specifically, those that behaved like Shiʿi imams—could serve as rulers.

475 Al-rukhaṣ — bu buyruqni „og'irligi kamroq bo'lgan muqobil bilan almashtirish holatlari”dir, „ehtiyoj yoki majburiyat hollarida” (Katz, “ʿAzīmah and Rukhṣah”). Taxminan, Ibn Ḥanbal o'z kasalligi davrida diniy burchlarini to'liq bajara olmaganidan xavotirda bo'lib, o'zida yaxshi uzrga ega ekanligiga ishonch hosil qilishni istagan.

475 Al-rukhaṣ are cases of replacing a commandment “with a less onerous alternative in cases of need or duress” (Katz, “ʿAzīmah and Rukhṣah”). Presumably Ibn Ḥanbal was worried about having failed to complete all his religious duties during his illness and wanted reassurance that he had a good excuse.

Afsuski, bu sana, ya'ni milodiy 855-yil 31-iyulga to‘g‘ri keladi, hafta kunlaridan chorshanba edi.

477 Unfortunately, this date, which corresponds to July 31, 855, was a Wednesday.

478-son Muslim janozasida erkakning jasadi uchta mato bo‘lagiga o‘ralishi lozim, ularning har biri jasadni butunlay qoplaydi.

479 Amānūs yoki Nur Dag'lari tog' tizmasi, bugungi Turkiyada, Suriya bilan shimoliy-g'arbiy chegaraning naridа joylashgan. Xudo tashrif buyuruvchilarga, janoza vaqtiga yetib borish uchun, u yerdan zumda sayohat qilish qudratini ato etgan.

479 The Amānūs or Nur Daǧları mountain range in what is today Turkey, just across the northwest border with Syria. God has given the visitors the power to travel instantly from there in time for the funeral.

480 Bu ehtimolga yaqin bo‘lmagan hikoyaga qarshi keskin tanqid uchun qarang: al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:343 va Cooperson, “Probability,” 74–75.

480 For a caustic denunciation of this unlikely story, see al-Dhahabī, Siyar, 11:343, and Cooperson, “Probability,” 74–75.

481 Pasajdagi matn H va SH nusxalarida buzilgan. Al-Turkiy "al-ḥuzn", ya'ni "qayg'u" so'zini qo'shadi, bu esa barcha solih oilalar motamda edi degan ehtimolliroq ma'noni beradi. Bu yerda men qo'lyozmalarda bor bo'lgan matnni, garchi u buzilgan bo'lsa ham, tarjima qildim.

481 The passage in H and SH is garbled. Al-Turkī supplies al-ḥuzn, “sorrow,” giving the more likely meaning that all virtuous households were in mourning. Here I have rendered what is in the manuscripts, garbled though it may be.

Yoki: “Biz ularni bu yerda saqlaymiz, shunda odamlar ulardan nusxa ko‘chirishlari mumkin.” Qanday bo‘lmasin, bu yerda gap shundaki, u bu rivoyatlarning to‘g‘ri naql qilinganini biladi. Agar ular uning qo‘lidan chiqib ketsa, kelajakda kimdir ulardan nusxa ko‘chirmoqchi bo‘lganida, u ularning ishonchliligiga kafolat bera olmaydi.

482 Or: “We keep them here so people can copy them.” The point, in any case, seems to be that he knows these reports to have been properly transmitted. If they leave his hands, he cannot guarantee their authenticity should others someday wish to copy them.

483-bob bu bobda o‘nta she’r bor, ulardan ba’zilari juda uzun. Hadis olimlari va ularning do‘stlari odatda she’riy iste’dodi bilan maqtalmaydi, va bu misralar alohida ajralib turadigan darajada emas. Lekin qiziquvchan o‘quvchiga asl bobning mohiyatini his qildirish uchun ikki namunani kiritdim.

483 This chapter contains ten poems, some of them very long. Hadith-scholars and their friends are not usually admired for their poetic talents, and these verses are not particularly distinguished. But I have included two examples to give the curious reader a sense of the original chapter.

484 “Aḥmad” ma’nosi “eng ko‘p maqtovga loyiq” degani. 485 Vazn: sarī‘.

484 “Aḥmad” means “most praiseworthy.” 485 Meter: sarīʿ.

486 Meter: kāmil.

486 Meter: kāmil.

487-bob. Istisnoiy musulmonlarning tarjimai hollarida ko'pincha ularning vafotidan keyin boshqalarning tushlarida paydo bo'lishi tasvirlanadi. Qancha turli odamlar bir xil tushni ko'rganini da'vo qilsa, bu tushda marhumdan haqiqiy xabar bo'lishi ehtimoli shunchalik yuqori ko'rinardi. Shu sababli ushbu bobda turli ravийlar tomonidan aytilgan, deyarli bir xil tush haqidagi ko'plab hikoyalar mavjud. Men bunday deyarli takroriy hikoyalarning imkon qadar ko'pini olib tashladim.

487 Biographies of exceptional Muslims often describe their posthumous appearances in the dreams of others. The more different people claimed to have had the same dream, the likelier it seemed that it contained a true communication from the deceased. For this reason, this chapter contains many nearly identical accounts of the same dream as reported by different speakers. I have removed as many of these near-duplicates as possible.

488 Asl matn bu yerda yig'ma (birlashtirilgan) bo'lib tuyuladi, ehtimol rivoyat qiluvchi keyingi versiyada keltirilgan la'natni tushirib qoldirgani uchun.

488 The original sentence seems patched together here, probably because a transmitter omitted the curse that appears in the version immediately following.

Q Zumar 39:74. Bu ayni shuni aytadigan — jannatga kiritilganlardan keyin duo qiladigan solihlarning so'zidir.

489 Q Zumar 39:74. This is what the blessed say after being admitted to the Garden.

490-hadis. Birinchi shaxs birlik nuqtai nazaridagi bu va parallel rivoyatlardagi tegishli o‘rinda so‘rovchi Ibn Ḥanbal, javob beruvchi esa Sufyān bo‘lishi mumkin. Ammo 92.12-da so‘rovchi Miskīnah haqida so‘raydi, u esa: “Keni, bilsangiz edi!” deydi. Bu shuni anglatadiki, so‘rovchi hali tirik va tush ko‘ryapti, vafot etib Jannatda emas.

490 The first person singular here and in the corresponding place in the parallel reports could be Ibn Ḥanbal and the one answering could be Sufyān. In 92.12, though, the questioner asks about Miskīnah, who says “If only you knew!” This means that the questioner must still be alive and dreaming rather than dead and in the Garden.

491-hadis. Hikoyachi Xudoni uchinchi shaxsda, xuddi Qur'ondagidek, o'ziga nisbatan gapirtiradi. Ushbu rivoyatning naql qiluvchilari Alini yomon ko'rishni sunniy kishi uchun og'ir gunoh deb hisoblaganlari aniq. Undan oldingi variantning naql qiluvchilari esa boshqacha fikrda bo'lganlar yoki Xudoning Jariga la'nat aytganini takrorlashni xohlamaganlar, xolos.

491 The storyteller has God refer to Himself in the third person, as in the Qurʾan. The transmitters of this report evidently thought that hating ʿAlī was a grave fault in a Sunni. The transmitters of the variant immediately preceding either thought otherwise or simply did not wish to repeat God’s supposed cursing of Jarīr.

496 Baqara surasi, 137-oyat: {Agar ular ham sizlar iymon keltirganingizdek iymon keltirsalar, albatta to'g'ri yo'lga yo'llanadilar; agar yuz o'girsalar, bilingki, ular adovatda botib ketganlardir. Alloh sizni ulardan saqlab qo'yadi, zero, U eshituvchi va biluvchidir.} 497 Matn bu yerda buzilgandek ko'rinadi va variant ham yordam bermaydi. Hikoyaning eng ehtimolli davomi quyidagicha:

496 From Q Baqarah 2:137: «If they believe as you have believed, then are they rightly guided; but if they turn back, then know that they are entrenched in hostility. God will surely suffice to defend you against them, for He is All Hearing, All Knowing.» 497 The text seems garbled here and the variant does not help. The likeliest way for the story to go is:

“Ko‘pchiliklarining nayzalar ko‘tarib yurganini payqadim. Payg‘ambar ﷺ tashqariga qaradi, go‘yo bir qo‘shinni jo‘natmoqchidek, va ulardan barchasidan balandroq bir nayzani ko‘rdi.” 498 Yoki: Ibn Ḥanbal sevadiganlar.

“I noticed that many of them were carrying spears. The Prophet looked out, as if intending to dispatch an expedition, and saw a spear taller than any of the others.” 498 Or: those whom Ibn Ḥanbal loves.

Ko'rinib turibdiki, Yahyo ibn Ma'in.

499 Evidently Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn.

"Toshbo'ron" osmondan otilgan toshlar bilan urilish sifatida izohlanadi, "xunuk qiyofaga solinish" esa hayvon kabi yanada xunuk shaklga aylantirilish sifatida izohlanadi. Ushbu rivoyat musulmonlarga muayyan gunohlarni sodir etganlari uchun kelajakda boshlarига tushadigan jazolarga ishora qilishi aytiladi.

500 “Pelting” is explained as being struck by stones flung from the skies, and “disfigurement” as being changed into an uglier form, such as that of an animal. The report is described as referring to the punishments that will befall Muslims who commit certain transgressions.

501 Ehtimol, Ishoq ibn Rohavayh.

501 Apparently Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh.

502 Ya'ni, u hanafiy yoki shia bo'lgan.

502 That is, he was a Ḥanafī or a Shiʿi.

503 Mehrob — masjiddagi Makka tomonini ko'rsatuvchi o'yiq. Ibn Ḥanbal, go'yo, "O'lguningizcha namoz o'qishda davom eting", demoqchi. 504 Sāq odatda oyoq yoki poya ma'nosini anglatadi. Bu yerda u uzunlik o'lchovi sifatida ishlatilgan, ammo uning aniq ma'nosini men to'liqroq aniqlay olmadim.

503 The niche is the feature in a mosque that indicates the direction to Mecca. Ibn Ḥanbal seems to be saying, “Keep praying until you die.” 504 A sāq is normally a leg or stalk. Here it is being used as a measure of length but I have not been able to pin down the meaning any more precisely.

Ushbu bobda, oldingi bobdagi kabi, bir xil tushning deyarli bir xil qayta hikoyalarini qoldirib ketdim.

505 In this chapter, as in the one preceding, I have omitted nearly identical retellings of the same dream.

506. Hikoya uchun, quyidagi ikkinchi xabarga qarang.

506 For the story, see the second report following.

507 Q Baqarah 2:156.

507 Q Baqarah 2:156.

Asl hikoyada xalifa yoki hokimning ismi aniq ko'rsatilgan bo'lishi mumkin edi, ammo keyingi sunniy rivoyat qiluvchilar uning obro'sini himoya qilish uchun ismni yashirgan ko'rinadi.

508 The original story may have specified the caliph or governor involved, but later Sunni transmitters seem to have suppressed the name to protect his reputation.

Fe'l ma'nosi so'zma-so'z "kimningdir bilagini ushlash" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Bu imo-ishora (boshqa narsalar qatorida) yangi tayinlangan xalifaga sadoqat bildirish uchun ishlatilgan.

509 The verb used means literally “to grasp someone’s forearm.” The gesture was used (among other things) to show allegiance to a newly appointed caliph.

Ya'ni, al-Xadir unga tushida ko'rindi.

510 That is, al-Khaḍir appeared to him in a dream.

511 — Bag'dodning nomlaridan biri bo'lib, uning birinchi masjidi Makka tomon to'liq to'g'ri yo'naltirilmaganligi sababli shunday atalgan, deb rivoyat qilinadi.

511 A name for Baghdad, reportedly given because its first mosque was imperfectly aligned toward Mecca.

512 — Buyuk hurmatni ifodalovchi ibora bo‘lib, u islomgacha bo‘lgan davrdagi odatga asoslanadi: raqib qabila a'zolarini asirga olib, ularni qimmatbaho narsa evaziga ozod qilish amaliyoti.

512 An expression of great esteem, based in the pre-Islamic practice of capturing members of rival tribes and releasing them in exchange for something valuable.

513-izoh. Qur'on, Niso surasi 4:164 oyatiga havola, unda Alloh Musoga bevosita gapiradi. Wait: rule says God, never "Allah". Uzbek word for God is "Xudo". Rewrite accordingly. 513-izoh. Qur'on, Niso surasi 4:164-oyatiga havola, unda Xudo Musoga bevosita gapiradi.

513 A reference to Q Nisāʾ 4:164, where God speaks directly to Moses.

514-raqam. Bu Muṭaffifīn surasining 83:18–21-oyatlariga ishora: «Darhaqiqat, solih kishilarning yozuvi ʿIlliyyīndadir. ʿIlliyyīn nima ekanini sizga nima bildirdi? U — bitilgan yozuvdir, uni Allohga eng yaqin maloikalar guvohlik beradi». Ba'zi tafsirchilar bu so'zni Jannatdagi yuksak joyga ishora deb ham izohlaydilar.

514 A reference to Q Muṭaffifīn 83:18–21: «But, the record of the righteous is [preserved] in the ʿIlliyyīn. And what will make you understand what the ʿIlliyyīn is? A written record, which those angels closest to God will bear witness to.» Some exegetes also explain the word as referring to a high place in the Garden.

515 Bu Ahmad xatosi bo'lsa kerak, Ibn al-Javziy buni ta'kidlaydi.

515 This seems to be an error for Aḥmad, as Ibn al-Jawzī points out.

Ya'ni, uning huquq va boshqa masalalardagi qarashlarini qabul qilish.

516 That is, adopt his positions on law and the like.

517 Otasi orqali, ʿUmar — ikkinchi xalifa — dan rivoyat qilgan, hurmatga sazovor ravi.

517 A respected transmitter of reports from his father, ʿUmar, the second caliph.

518 Ushbu rivoyat chalkash xronologiyani taqdim etadi. Ahmad ibn Nasr al-Xuzoiy, ya'ni Payg'ambar bilan birga o'tirgan kishi, al-Vosiq hukmronligi davrida qatl etilgan — ya'ni al-Qawoririyning Inkvizitsiyaga majburan taslim bo'lganidan ancha keyin.

518 This report offers a puzzling chronology. Aḥmad ibn Naṣr al-Khuzāʿī, who is sitting with the Prophet, was executed during the reign of al-Wāthiq—that is, long after al-Qawārīrī’s forced capitulation to the Inquisition.

519-yilda al-Karxda ʿĪso kanali yaqinida Dor al-Qutn (artikl bilan) nomli mahalla mavjud edi (Le Strange, Baghdad, 84-bet va 4-xarita, 32-raqam).

519 A quarter called Dār al-Quṭn (with the article) existed between the ʿĪsā Canal in al-Karkh (Le Strange, Baghdad, 84, and map 4, no. 32).

520 So'z "ṭūbā" Qur'on 13:29 da uchraydi. Ba'zi tafsir olimlari uni Jannatdagi daraxtning nomi deb izohlaydilar, boshqalari esa uning ma'nosi shunchaki "baxt-saodat" deganini aytadilar. Qarang: Waines, "Tree(s)"; Kinberg, "Paradise". 521 Qur'on 18:63 va undan keyingi oyatlar, bu yerda ismi zikr etilmagan bir Allohning bandasi Musoga sabr haqida o'rgatadi.

520 The word ṭūbā appears in Q Raʿd 13:29. Some exegetes explain it as the name of a tree in Paradise while others say that it means simply “bliss.” See Waines, “Tree(s)” and Kinberg, “Paradise.” 521 Q Kahf 18:63ff, where an unnamed servant of God teaches Moses about patience.

522-ma'lumot. Qur'onning deyarli bir xil ikkita oyatiga ishora: «Sendan oldin ham Biz faqat erkaklarni payg'ambar qilib yubordik, ularga vahiy berdik. Agar bilmasangiz, zikr ahlidan so'rang» (Nahl 16:43 va Anbiyo 21:7). Bu oyatdagi «ahl az-zikr» iborasi «oldingi kitoblarga ega bo'lganlar» deb izohlangan. Umumiy ma'noda esa, bu ibora Xudoni eslab yuradigan kishilarni ham anglatishi mumkin.

522 A reference to two nearly identical verses of the Qurʾan: «Before you also the messengers We sent were but [mortal] men to whom We vouchsafed revelation. Ask the People of the dhikr, if you do not know» (Q Naḥl 16:43 and Anbiyāʾ 21:7). The term ahl al-dhikr in this verse has been explained as “the recipients of previous scriptures.” More generally it can also mean people mindful of God.

523 Shunday deydi hikoyani o‘z ichiga olgan yagona qo‘lyozma, garchi bu yerda "u nafis kiyimlar kiygan edi" degan gap ehtimolroq ko‘rinadi.

523 So says the one manuscript that contains the story, though “he was wearing fine clothes” seems a likelier thing to say here.

524 Ar. mukhannath — asli erkak bo‘lib, odatda musiqachi, ko‘ngil ochish uchun ayol kabi kiyinadigan va xatti-harakat qiladigan kishi. Ibn Ḥanbal davrida saroyga bog‘liq bo‘lgan mukhannathūn “shafqatsiz masxaraboz, haddan ziyod tomoshabop kulgi va past jinsiy hazil” bilan mashhur edilar (Rowson, “Effeminates,” iqtibos 693-betda). Bu so‘z “germafrodit” ma’nosini ham anglatishi mumkin, lekin germafrodit bo‘lish gunoh yoki jinoyat emas, shuning uchun bu hikoyadagi so‘zlovchiga (hech bo‘lmaganda o‘sha sababga ko‘ra) kechirim so‘rashi shart bo‘lmas edi.

524 Ar. mukhannath, originally a man, usually a musician, who dressed and acted like a woman for entertainment. In Ibn Ḥanbal’s time, mukhannathūn associated with the court were famous for “savage mockery, extravagant burlesque, and low sexual humor” (Rowson, “Effeminates,” quotation at 693). The word can also mean “hermaphrodite,” but being a hermaphrodite was not a sin or a crime, so the speaker in this story would not need to be forgiven (at least, not for that).

525 Q Hūd 11:105.

525 Q Hūd 11:105.

526. Arab folklorida har bir insonning qarama-qarshi jinsdagi jinniy hamtasi bor deb hisoblanadi.

526 In Arab folklore, every human being has a jinni counterpart of the opposite sex.

527 Lane'ning s.v. T-N-R maqolasidagi ma'lumotga ko'ra, bu tanur yuqori qismi ochiq bo'lgan, yopiq bo'shliq hosil qilish uchun esa ag'darib qo'yilishi kerak bo'lgan narsa bo'lgan deb tasavvur qilishimiz lozim. Shuningdek, uning yon tomonida beda solish uchun eshigi bo'lgan bo'lishi kerak, va bu beda olovga chidamli, bir xil turdagi to'shama vazifasini o'tagan ko'rinadi.

527 Based on the account in Lane, s.v. T-N-R, it seems we must imagine an oven open at the top which had to be turned over to create a closed space. It must also have had a door on the side for inserting the clover, which apparently served as a fireproof sort of bedding.

528 Tarixiy Harthama Bag'dod qamalida ishtirok etgan, bu qamal xalifa al-Amīnning o'limi bilan yakunlangan. Ammo u o'zi ham shundan ko'p o'tmay, al-Ma'mūn hukmronligi davrida qatl etilgan: ya'ni al-Mutavakkil xalifa bo'lishidan bir necha o'n yil oldin. Hanbaliy qissaxonlarining Abbosiylar prosopografiyasi haqidagi tasavvuri chalkash bo'lganga o'xshaydi.

528 The historical Harthamah took part in the siege of Baghdad, which ended in the death of the Caliph al-Amīn. But he was himself executed shortly thereafter, during the reign of al-Maʾmūn: that is, several decades before al-Mutawakkil became caliph. Ḥanbalī storytellers seem to have had a confused idea of Abbasid prosopography.

530 Bu, u o‘g‘lini maktabga yubormagani yoki unga o‘qituvchi yollamagani, aksincha, uni o‘zi ta’lim berishni afzal ko‘rganini anglatadi.

530 This seems to mean that he did not send his son to school or hire a tutor for him but instead preferred to instruct him himself.

531 Unassimilated (ghayr mudgham): bu so'z iʾtakhadhtum bo'lar edi, lekin o'zim bilishimcha, bu shakl amalda ishlatilmaydi.

534-yilda Bag‘dodda yozilgan kitob, ehtimol, ar-Risola (Epistola, tarj. Lowry)ning birinchi qoralamasidir.

534 The book written in Baghdad is apparently (the first draft of) the Risālah (Epistle, trans. Lowry)

va Misrda yozilgan kitob Umm deb ataladi.

and the one written in Egypt is the Umm.

Ya'ni, birinchisi yuzni yuvish, ikkinchisi esa dirsaklargacha qo'llarni yuvish uchundir.

535 That is, one to clean the face and another to clean the arms as far as the elbows.

536 Payg'ambar ﷺ kaftlarini yerga urib, ularga puflagan va yuzi hamda qo'llarini artgan, deb tasvirlanadi (qarang: al-Turkiy, 666n1).

536 The Prophet is described as “striking his palms on the ground, blowing on them, and wiping his face and hands” (see references in al-Turkī, 666n1).

Demak, agar sahobalar bilan uchrashish o‘z-o‘zidan afzallikni keltirib chiqarsa, u holda Sa’id va boshqalar Abu Hanifadan ustun bo‘lishlari kerak.

537 That is, if having met the Companions necessarily confers precedence, Saʿīd and others should outrank Abū Ḥanīfah.

Ya'ni, agar ba'zi tobi'iylar Molikni Payg'ambarning sahobalaridan ko'ra yuqoriroq baholagan bo'lsalar, unda sahobalarga uchrashish o'zi-o'zidan afzallikka ega bo'lishi haqidagi da'vo to'g'ri bo'la olmaydi.

538 That is, if certain Successors thought more highly of Mālik than they did of the Prophet’s Companions then the premise that one gains precedence simply by having met the Companions cannot be valid.

Ya'ni, odamlar Payg'ambarga nisbatan uzoqroq bo'lgan rivoyatchilarning so'zini Ibn Abbosning so'zidan afzal ko'rishgan.

539 That is, people preferred the word of transmitters more distantly related to the Prophet than Ibn ʿAbbās.

Nisā 4:3

540 Q Nisāʾ 4:3.

541 Ya'ni, kitoblarimda hamma narsaga qarzdor bo'lgan shaxs — Ibn Hanbal. Al-Turkiy, 668n5, aniqlik uchun bu iborani qo'shib qo'yadi, lekin u qo'lyozmalarda yo'q. Asl tinglovchilar, shubhasiz, nima nazarda tutilayotganini bilishgan.

541 That is, the person to whom I owe everything in my books is Ibn Ḥanbal. Al-Turkī, 668n5, inserts this phrase for clarity, but it is not there in the manuscripts. The original audience doubtless knew what was meant.

Ushbu qisqartirilgan nashrda men tarjimai hollar sonini yana ham kamaytirdim va faqat tarixiy yoki adabiy jihatdan alohida ahamiyatga ega bo'lganlarinigina saqlab qoldim.

542 In this abridgement I have cut down the number of biographies even further, retaining only those of particular historical or literary importance.

543-son Birovdan biror narsani olish uchun ishlatiladigan min taḥt yadihi (“uning qo‘li ostidan”) iborasi boshqa joyda uchinchi shaxs bilan bog‘liq holda, uning bilimisiz va ruxsatisiz, undan qarzdor bo‘lgan narsani olish ma’nosini bildiradi. Bu yerda bunday ma’no deyarli ehtimolga yaqin emas, shuning uchun bu yerda ko‘proq so‘zma-so‘z ma’no nazarda tutilgan deb taxmin qilaman. Ehtimol, ibora man taḥt yadihi, ya’ni “unga qaram bo‘lganlar” degan ma’noda bo‘lishi mumkin, lekin unda gapni to‘ldirish uchun yana bir so‘z kerak bo‘lardi.

543 To take something from someone min taḥt yadihi (“from under his hand”) elsewhere means to take what one is owed from another party without his knowledge or permission. As that is hardly likely here, I am guessing that a more literal meaning is intended. Possibly, too, the phrase is man taḥt yadihi, “those dependent on him,” but then an additional word would be needed to complete the sentence.

544 Men Christopher Melchert ushbu parchani tushuntirish taklif qilgani uchun minnatdorman.

544 I thank Christopher Melchert for suggesting an explanation for this passage.

545-raqam. Men Piter Pormannga qiyām al-dam atamasini tushuntirgani uchun minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

545 I thank Peter Pormann for explaining the term qiyām al-dam.

"Najot shahri" – Bag'dod, bu nomga (mening fikrimcha) uning Abbosiy asoschilari va hukmdorlari o'zlarini imomlar deb hisoblaganlari sababli ega bo'lgan, ya'ni ularga sodiqlik najotni anglatgan.

546 The “City of Salvation” is Baghdad, so named (in my view) because its Abbasid founders and rulers considered themselves imams, meaning that allegiance to them implied salvation.

Odatda, biroq, bu nom "Tinchlik shahri" deb tarjima qilinadi. 547 Vara' (ehtiyotkorlik) yuzasidan berilgan savol: masalan, agar o'sha kishi suvni birovdan ruxsatsiz olgan bo'lsa, uni ichish noto'g'ri bo'lardi.

Commonly, however, the title is translated as “City of Peace.” 547 A question motivated by waraʿ (scrupulosity): if, for example, the man had taken the water from someone else without permission, it would be wrong to drink it.

Muballig'un: katta jamoat bo'lib, imomning yoki ma'ruzachining so'zini hamma eshita olmaydigan bo'lganda, uning so'zlarini takrorlab aytadigan kishilar.

548 Muballighūn: people who repeat the words of the prayer leader or lecturer when the crowd is too large for everyone to hear him.

549 Bu yangi xalifaning taxtga o'tirishini rasmiylashtirgan sodiqlik qasami. Odatda bunda ko'plab amaldorlar ishtirok etardi.

549 This is the oath of assent that formalized the accession of a new caliph. Normally a crowd of dignitaries would be involved.

550 Hijriy 469/1077 yilda shofiʿiy faqihi Abu l-Nasr ʿAbd al-Rahim (vafoti 514/1120), mutasavvuf va mutakallim ʿAbd al-Karim al-Qushayriyning o‘g‘li, al-Ash‘ariy ilmiy kalomini o‘qitish uchun Bag‘dodga keldi. Ash‘ariylik tizimi hanbaliylar ma’qul ko‘rgan matnlar va xulosalarni himoya qilish uchun mo‘ljallangan bo‘lsa-da, hanbaliylar bunga ko‘nmadilar va g‘alayon ko‘tardilar. Oxir-oqibat Abu l-Nasrni Isfahonga qaytarib yuborishdi. Qarang: Halm, “al-Qushayriy.” 551 Zulhijja oyining to‘qqizinchi kuni, 503 hijriy [milodiy 29-iyun, 1110].

550 In 469/1077, the Shāfiʿī jurist Abū l-Naṣr ʿAbd al-Raḥīm (d. 514/1120), son of the mystic and theologian ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Qushayrī, came to Baghdad to teach the speculative theology of al- Ashʿarī. Although the Ashʿarite system was intended to defend the texts and conclusions favored by the Ḥanbalīs, the latter were having none of it, and rioted. Eventually Abū l-Naṣr was sent back to Isfahan. See Halm, “al-Qushayrī.” 551 The ninth of Dhu l-Hijjah 503 [June 29, 1110].

Ka'b ibn Molik Tabuk g'azotida Payg'ambarimiz ﷺ bilan birga bormagani uchun qoralangan va keyinchalik kechirilgan deb rivoyat qilinadigan uchta Ansor sahobasidan biri edi.

552 Kaʿb ibn Mālik was one of three Helpers reportedly condemned and later forgiven for staying behind during the Prophet’s raid on Tabūk.

553 “… Xudo meni ulardan biri qilib qo‘yadi.” Jumlaning qolgan qismi qo‘lyozmalarda uchramaydi, ehtimol al-Dīnawarī uni aytishdan tortinganidan bo‘lsa kerak, lekin bu gap Shadharāt al-dhahab asaridagi parallel matnda mavjud bo‘lib, al-Turkī uni o‘sha yerdan keltirgan (qarang: 705n1).

553 “… God will make me one of them.” The rest of the sentence does not appear in the manuscripts, perhaps because al-Dīnawarī was too modest to say it, but it does appear in a parallel text from Shadharāt al-dhahab, whence it is supplied by al-Turkī (see 705n1).

554-misra. Vazn: ṭawīl.

554 Meter: ṭawīl.

555 Meter: ṭawīl.

555 Meter: ṭawīl.

Bunday to‘plamlarda nafaqat qisqa isnodli, balki bir xil rivoyat zanjiridagi bitta ravi yoki boshqa o‘ziga xos belgiga ega bo‘lgan rivoyatlar ham bor edi. Bu nuqtani tushuntirgani uchun Devin Styuartga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

556 Such collections contained reports that not only had short chains of transmitters but also one transmitter, or some other distinctive feature, in common. I thank Devin Stewart for explaining this point.

557-sahifa. Qur'ondagi ummiy so'zining nima anglatgani haqida bahs-munozaralar mavjud (bu haqda qarang: Sebastian Günther, "Ummiy"). Ammo Ibn al-Javziy davriga kelib u "savodsiz" ma'nosida tushunilgan edi, ya'ni Muhammad ﷺ eski kitoblarni o'qish orqali ilhomlangan bo'lishi mumkin emas edi.

557 There is some debate about what ummī may have meant in the Qurʾan (for which see Sebastian Günther, “Ummī”). By Ibn al-Jawzī’s time, though, it was understood to mean “illiterate,” meaning that Muḥammad could not have been inspired by reading older scriptures.
