The Chronology of the Maghāzī—A Trxtual Survey

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

The sīra authorities provide a mass of contradictory data on the chronology of the Prophet's raids and the task of fitting these inconsistencies into a cogent chronological pattern is beset with difficulties. In the main sources, for example, Mūsā b. ‘Uqba, Ibn Isḥaq, and al-Wāqidī, we find noticeable divergencies in the dating of a specific event. This is so even with important incidents such as the expulsion of Banu Qaynuqā‘and a comparatively late event such as the attack on Khaybar. A textual collation of the chronological material does suggest, however, that in some cases it may be possibleto win through to a safer position.

page 245 note 1 The references throughout are to the British Museum MS of the complete text of al-Wāqidī's Kitāb al-maghāzī which I have prepared for publication. The following system of abbreviation has been used : (A.M.) = Abū Ma‘shar / (A.U.) = Abū ‘Uinar / (B.) = al-Balādhurī / (Bay.) = al-Bayhaqī / (Bkh.) = al-Bukhārī / (I.A.) = Ibn ‘Ā'idh / (I.H.) = Ibn Hishām where his own comments have been interpolated within the text which he received from al-Bakkā'ī / (I.I.B.) = al-Bakkā'ī's recension of Ibn Isḥāq contained in Ibn Hishām's Sīra / (I.I.Bk.) = Ibn Bukayr's recension of Ibn Isḥāq as quoted in other works. Unfortunately, the incomplete Fez MS does not include the section on the maghāzī / (I.S.) = Ibn Sa‘d—because of his position as al-Wāqidī's amanuensis and his indebtedness to him for most of his material, specific mention of him is made only when his chronology differs from that of al-Wāqidī / (I.S.N.) = Ibn Sayyid al-Nās giving an opinion not expressedly derived from an earlier source / (K.) = Ibn Kathīr giving an opinion not expressedly derived from an earlier source / (M.A.) = Mālik b. Anas / (M.U.) = Mūsā b. ‘Uqba / (Suh.) = al-Suhaylī / (Ṭab.) = al-Ṭabarī giving an opinion not expressedly derived from an earlier source / (Um.) = al-Umawī / (U.Z.) = ‘Urwa b. al-Zubayr quoted other than as a link in the isnād of a later authority / (Z.) = al-Zuhrī quoted other than as a link in the isnād of a later authority. It will be seen from the foregoing list of abbreviations that an attempt has been made to differentiate between the various recensions of Ibn-Isḥāq and Ibn Hishā's own comments.

page 246 note 1 The term ghazwa and its plural maghāzī are used generically to cover all the raids made. No such distinction in made between and sariya as is found, for example, in al-Zurqānī (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunāya, Cairo, 19071910, I, 467).Google Scholar Some events are included which are not raids in the strict sense of the term.

page 246 note 3 Dates in rectangular brackets are those not explicitly stated, but which it is possible to deduce from the text itself. No date is given by Ibn Isḥāq for Ḥamza's raid ; it is stated, however, that the Prophet despatched the raiding party during his stay in Medina after returning from Waddān. The duration of this stay, according to Ibn Isḥāq, was the remainder of Ṣafar and the early part of Rabī‘al-Awwal. (Hishäm, Ibn, al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, Cairo, 1936, II, 241,Google Scholar 245.) In Ibn Ḥazm, in a passage which echoes the wording of Ibn Hishām, we find his stay extended to the beginning of Rabī‘ No source for this is explicitly stated.

page 246 note 6 According to Ibn Isḥāq, the raid was despatched before that of Ḥamza, but like the latter after the Prophet's return from Waddān. See note 3 above.

page 246 note 9 Ibn Kathīr, quoting Ibn Isḥāq without mentioning his chain of authority, states that the Prophet sent Sa'd b. Abī Waqqāṡ to on his return to Medina after Badr al-Ūla, i.e. in Rajab, or Sha'bān. (al-Bidāya wa'l-nihāya, Cairo, 1932, III, 248.Google Scholar) In Ibn Hishām the raid is mentioned before Badr al-Ūlā. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, II, 251.) Such mutually contradictory data is by no means infrequent when dealing with Ibn Isḥāq.

page 247 note 14 Referred to at the end of the section on the (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 284). It is clear that Ibn Ishaq regarded it as being before the killing of ‘Asma' bint Marwān, for he says : ‘…when Abu ‘Afak was killed she (i.e. ‘Asmā’) acted the munāfiqa’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 285.)

page 247 note 15 Ibn Isḥāq is also said to have put the event after Uḥud, but al-Zurqānī suggests that this date was wrongly ascribed to him. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, I, 550.Google Scholar)

page 247 note 16 B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 43b.

page 247 note 17 No specific dating of the event is found in Ibn Isḥāq. We find, however, three statements attributed to him. (a) That the Banū Qaynuqā‘incident was between Badr and UḤud. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, II, 51.) (b) That it took place after Uhud. (Sharḥ, ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, I, 551.Google Scholar) (c) That it was between al-Sawīq and the raid on Banū Sulaym.

page 248 note 2 According to Ibn Isḥāq, on his return from Badr, the Prophet remained in Medina seven nights only before setting out for al-Kudr, staying at the latter the remainder of Shawwāl. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, III, 46.)

page 248 note 3 According to al-Zurqānī, Ibn Hishām dated this raid in al-Muḥarram. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, I, 548.Google Scholar)

page 248 note 4 In Ibn Hishām the incident is put immediately before Uḥud. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, III, 54.) This would accord with the statement ascribed elsewhere to Ibn Isḥāq ‘…and al-Aws had killed Ka'b b. al-Ashraf before Uḥud ’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, III, 286.)

page 248 note 7 In a statement of Ibn Hishām not expressly attributed to Ibn Isḥāq, we find that the Prophet is said to have remained in Medina (on his return from al-Sawīq) ‘the rest of or thereabouts’, and then raided Najd, i.e. Amarr. In a further statement, this time specifically ascribed to Ibn Isḥāq, we are told that ‘he remained in Najd the whole of Ṣafar, or thereabouts’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, III, 49.)

page 248 note 11 No date is found in Ibn Hishām, but Ibn Kathīr, quoting Ibn Bukayr's recension of Ibn Ishāq, mentions it as being six months after Badr. (al-Bidāya wa'l-nihāya, IV, 4.)

page 249 note 12 No specific date is found in Ibn Isḥāq, but there are some pointers which help to fix the event according to his chronology. Ibn Hishām quotes al-Bakkā'ī's recension to the effect that the incident took place after Uḥud. (al-Jāmī al-nabawīya, III, 178.) We find the same account derived from Ibn Isḥāq in (al-Jāmī‘al-ṡaḥīḥ, V, 229.) It is dated in Ibn Hishām in the year 3 and put after Uḥud and before Bi'r Ma‘ūna. Since, according to Ibn Isḥāq's chronology, the former was in Shawwāl 3 and the latter in Ṣafar 4, then he must, ipso facto, have placed the raid to al-Rajī‘in or 3 or al-Muḥarram 4.

According to Ibn Sayyid al-Nās, Ibn Isḥāq put it five months after Uḥud in Rabī‘al-Awwal. (‘Uyūn al-athar, II, 48.) In al-Qasṭallānī we find a different dating ascribed to Ibn Isḥāq—Ṣafar 4.

This is probably a misquotation rather than a variant reading, for all MSS of the have Rabī‘al-Awwal, as does al-Ṭabarī quoting al-Wāqidī (Annales, I, 1462), and also Ibn Sa‘d (Kitāb al-ṭabaqāt al-kabīr, II, ii, 44). The mistake probably arises from the fact that his return is put by al-Wāqidī in Rabī‘ (fol. 99b).

Ibn Kathīr also quotes Ibn Isḥāq giving the date of the extermination of Banū Qurayຓa as and 5. (al-Bidāya wa'l-nihāya, IV, 149.)

page 251 note 22 al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, II, 292. According to Ibn Ḥajar, Ibn Isḥāq also dated the event in Sha ‘bān 6. (Fatḥ al-bārī, VII, 370.) This is also mentioned by al-Samhūdī. (Wafā' al-wafā', I,221.)

page 252 note 1 al-Zurqānī, quoting an anonymous source. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, II, 176.) Ibn ḥazm favours the year 5. (Jawāmi ‘al-sīra, 200.)

page 252 note 3 Annales, I,1500.

page 252 note 4 B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 124a. Ibn Sa‘d has Rabī‘al-Awwal (Kitāb al-ṭabaqāt al-kabīr, II, ii, 58Google Scholar) and al-Zurqānī states that both Ibn Sa‘d and al-Wāqidī dated it Rabī‘al-Awwal. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-laduīya, II, 178.Google Scholar)

page 252 note 5 No precise date is specified in al-Bakkāā'ī's recension of Ibn Isḥāq, but we are told that the Prophet remained in Medina a few nights only after the raid on Banū Liḥyān. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, III, 293.)

page 252 note 6 According to Ibn Ḥajar, Ibn Isḥāq dated the event in Sha‘bān 6. (Fatḥ al-bārī, VII, 370.) This would conflict with the date which can be deduced from the text contained in Ibn Hishām's Sīra (see n. 5 above). al-Zurqānī suggests that the reading Sha ‘bān may come from Ibn Bukayr's recension. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, II, 178.)

page 252 note 7 al-Ṭabarī mentions an account derived from Salama b. al-Akwa‘which puts the raid after the Prophet's return from Mecca, in the year of al-Ḥudaybīya. (Annales, I, 1502.) Since the consensus of opinion puts al-Ḥudaybīya in 6 (see below, p. 254), this would date the raid in 6 or al-Muḥarram 7.

page 252 note 8 al-Jāmi‘al-ṡaḥīḥ, V, 272.

page 252 note 9 So given in the preliminary synopsis which is a characteristic feature of al-Wāqidī's (B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 2b). This same date (Rabī‘) is found in al-Ṭabarī, quoting al-Wāqidī.

page 253 note 19 B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 130b. According to al-Wāqidī there were two raids by ‘Abdallah b. Rawāḥa, the first a reconnaissance and the second against Usayr b. Rāzim.

page 253 note 23 In Ibn Hishām the event is not dated or put in any chronological sequence (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 290). The reference to the prisoners having been brought to the Prophet on his return from Qarad suggests that the raid against Banū ‘Urayna can be dated Jumādā'l-Ūlā or since Qarad and are one and the same and a reconstruction of Ibn Isḥāq's chronology points to Jumādā'l-Ūlā 6 as the date of the latter.

(Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, II, 300.) There can be no question of confusion with the raid made by b. ‘Abdallah against Banū Murra (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 271), for al-Wāqidī states explicitly that the raid to al-Mayfa'a was directed against Banū ‘Abd b. Tha'laba.

page 256 note 8 According to al-Wāqidī, Abū Qatāda was the leader of the expedition; Ibn Isḥāq has Ibn Abī Ḥadrad. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 275.)

page 256 note 9 This raid is listed separately in the introductory synopsis to the (B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 4a). In the text it is dealt with as part of the account of the conquest of Mecca (fol. 180b).

page 256 note 10 Mentioned at the end of the section on the (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 275.) The prefatory remark ‘… and the raid of Ibn Abī Hadrad and his companions to Iḍam was before the Conquest’, can probably be ascribed to Ibn Hishām.

page 256 note 11 B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 177a.

page 256 note 12 al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 80. The date is so given in all the sources ; it is the precise day of departure and arrival and not the month which is the subject of conjecture among the commentators.(See al-Zurqānī, Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, II, 357.)

page 256 note 13 So dated in the introductory synopsis (B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 4a). No date is given in the narrative itself, but the Prophet is said to have sent out b. al-Walīd during the period he remained at Mecca subsequent to its conquest (fol. 197b).

page 256 note 14 It would probably be Shawwāl according to Ibn Isḥāq's chronology, for the conquest of Mecca is given as 10 nights before the end of Ramaḍān (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 88) and the attack on Banū is said to follow closely upon the conquest; ‘… when the Messenger of God conquered Mecca he sent out b. al-Walīd as a summoner (to Islam) and not to fight’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 71.)

page 256 note 15 Ibn Ḥajar gives Shawwāl as ‘the consensus of opinion amongst the authorities on the ’. (Fatḥ al-bārī, VII, 46.)

page 256 note 16 B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 200b.

page 256 note 17 In Ibn Hishām, Ḥunayn follows upon the conquest of Mecca. Since the conquest is said by Ibn Isḥāq to have taken place 10 nights before the end of Ramadan and the Prophet to have remained in Mecca 15 nights after its conquest (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 80), then Ḥunayn may be presumed to have been in Shawwāl according to Ibn Isḥāq's chronology.

page 257 note 1 al-Bidaya wa'l-nihaya, IV, 332. al-Ṭabarī also quotes ‘Urwa b. al-Zubayr to the effect that the Prophet remained in Mecca two weeks before moving against Banū Hawāzin. (Annales, 1,1654.)

page 257 note 2 al-Jami' al-ṡaḥīḥ, V, 299.

page 257 note 3 According to the introductory synopsis (B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 4b). In the narrative itself the Prophet is said to have headed for al-Ṭā'if after Ḥunayn (fol. 208a).

page 257 note 4 According to Ibn Isḥāq also, the Prophet is said to have gone to al-Ṭā'if ‘when he had finished at Ḥunayn’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 121.)

page 257 note 18 It is presumably the same raid as that mentioned in Ibn Hishām as being the cause of the flight of ‘Adī b. Ḥātim to Syria. (al-Sārat al-nabawāya, iv, 225.) This is also referred to in al-Wāqidī, but there the similarity ends, for no mention is made in Ibn Hishām of the expedition being under the leadership of ‘Alī or of the destruction of al-Fuls being its object. The passage as it occurs in Ibn Hishām has no specific mention of Ibn Isḥāq as being the source of the narrative. The reference to the event in al-Ṭabarī (Annales, I, 1706) must, I think, emanate from al-Wāqidī.

page 258 note 2 According to Ibn Isḥāq, ‘the Messenger of God remained [in Medina] the remainder of Ramaḍān and Shawwāl and ; then he sent forth Abū Bakr as Amīr of the Ḥajj in the year 9’. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, iv, 188.)

page 258 note 3 Mentioned by al-Qasṭallānī and attributed to Ibn Sa'd. (Sharḥ ‘alā’l-Mawāhib al-ladunīya, III, 105.) This must be an error, for Ibn Sa'd states unequivocably that it was in . (Kitāb al-ṭabaqāt al-kabīr, II, ii, 121.)

page 258 note 4 So given in the introductory synopsis to the Kitāb al- (B.M. Or. 1617, fol. 4a) and also in Ibn Sa'd. (Kitāb al-ṭabaqāt al-kabīr, II, ii, 122.) The text of al-Wāqidī, however, follows the pilgrimage of Abū Bakr with ‘All’s raid to Yemen.

page 258 note 5 This is the same raid as that referred to in al-Wāqidī in spite of the fact that the latter mentions Banū ‘Abd al-Madān as its object and not Banū'l-Ḥārith b. Ka'b as in Ibn Isḥāq (al-Sirat al-nabawīya, IV, 239). According to al-Suhaylī, ‘the name of ‘Abd al-Madān was ‘Amr b. al-Dubbān and al-Dubbān's name was Yazīd b. Qaṭan b. Ziyād b. al-Ḥārith b. Mālik b. Rabī'a b. Ka'b b. al-Ḥarith b. Ka'b al-Ḥārithi'. (Kitāb al-rawḍ al-unuf, II, 347.)

page 258 note 7 Mentioned at the end of the section on the (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 290.) The very short reference is from Ibn Hishām, from Abū ‘Amr al-Madanī. This is presumably that raid to Yemen, returning from which ‘Alī met the Prophet in Mecca during the Farewell Pilgrimage. (al-Sīrat al-nabawīya, IV, 249.)

Or. 1617, fol. 250a) state that the expedition was mustered in Ṣafar. al-Ṭabarī puts the beginning of the preparations a little earlier, in al-Muḥarram (Annales, I, 1794). The departure was delayed by the death of the Prophet.
