90#VERS#ANNOTATOR: HRH, PV
90#VERS#COMMENT##: Only two parts (al-sifr al-thānī and al-sifr al-thālith)
of this book are extant, each in a separate manuscript
and with a different riwāya (see intro to sifr 1, p. 13).
They were originally in separate text files
(Shamela0001440 (sifr 2) and Shamela0008477 (sifr 3)).
PV joined them together into a single file.
The original text files only contained PageV00P000 page numbers;
HRH and PV marked page numbers for the beginning of each volume and some important sections
(PageV2xPxxx for al-sifr al-thānī, and PageV3xPxxx for al-sifr al-thālith)
The folio numbers in the manuscripts were indicated
between square brackets: e.g., [ق/1/أ] (folio 1, recto).
PV added mARkdown-style folio numbers: FolioVxxPxxxA (A for recto, B for verso)
Manuscripts used by the editors:
- al-sifr al-thānī: one manuscript: in al-Khizāna al-ʿāmma (Rabat, Morocco): FolioV21Pxxx
- al-sifr al-thālith: two manuscripts:
- in Khizānat al-Qarāwiyyīn (Fes, Morocco): contains ajzāʾ 5-9 (the latter only partially): FolioV31Pxxx
- in al-Maktaba al-Maḥmūdiyya (Medina): contains parts of ajzāʾ 49 and 50: FolioV32Pxxx
The editor of al-sifr al-thānī notes that one page is probably missing from the start
of the manuscript (intro, p. 13-14; PV indicated this in the text using
[...]); the editor also moved the misplaced pages [ق/131/أ-ب] to their proper place (after [ق/111/ب]). For other anomalies in the page numbering, see intro p. 14-15. The editor added some titles between square brackets that were not in the manuscript. The manuscript is divided into ajzāʾ; the editor considers these not to be part of the original plan of Ibn Abī Khaythama, so they are marked here as paratext. PV added a tag###JUZx###at the beginning of each juzʾ. Note by the vetter (PV): I ironed out some inconsistencies in the numbering of the paragraphs and section headers; fixed an issue with missing last characters before the end of pages; and made slight tweaks to HRH's excellent header tags. The central section of the first part of al-sifr al-thānī is a list of "aṣḥāb" of the Prophet; this list is mostly organized alphabetically, on the ism of the ṣāḥib. Often used names are grouped under a subheading. Whenever a ṣāḥib from an important tribal group is mentioned (or the ism is the name of a tribal group), other aṣḥāb from that tribal group are listed immediately below that. These tribal sections are tagged as subsections of the relevant ism section. The remaining part of al-sifr al-thānī consists of lists of transmitters, grouped by various parameters (tribes, women, disabilities, ...). Al-sifr al-thālith is organized mostly on a geographical/chronological basis. Only the parts on Mecca, Medina, Kūfa, N Iraq and Ifrīqiyā are (partly) extant. Annotator HRH's notes on al-sifr al-thānī: The structure of the book is very arbitrary. The author categorizes the names of the people who have quoted the words of the prophet in alphabetical order; but after naming someone from a specific tribe, he suddenly digresses to name other persons from that tribe and then returns to the alphabetical order. I categorized these digressions as sub-headers (mostly fourth-level header) and showed the return to the alphabetical order by a blank header tag (so that they are distinguishable). Moreover, the author names irrelevant names inside a category that is supposed to belong to one specific name (for example, the author mentions names like “أنسة”, “وإبراهيم”, … under the category entitled “من روى عن النبي اسمه: أوس” (in page 75-76)) . I also separated these names by a blank header so that they are distinguishable from the main category. Besides, sometimes the author names someone out of alphabetical order to add some explanation about him. I tagged such names with an asterisk (i.e. ### $ ). The last part of the text categorized some people according to brotherhood. I tagged these names with an asterisk too (see my note on “السفر الثالث” about this kind of names). Annotator HRH's notes on al-sifr al-thālith: ATTENTION: This book needs a review by a specialist in Hadith literature. It is very difficult for tagging since the structure is complex without enough and coherent titles. I try to explain all issues here: 1- From page PageV01P085 to PageV01P139 the text is categorized according to brotherhood and this relationship appears in one of three formats: “ولد مزاحم” or “محمد بن مزاحم، والضحاك بن مزاحم أخوان” or “محمد بن مزاحم أخو الضحاك بن مزاحم”. I tagged the first format as a header (since it is a title about a family) and the second and the third formats as biographical tag. But I tagged the names in the second format with an asterisk (i.e. ### $ ) to make it distinguishable from the other format (so that you can delete or change them if necessary, since this format includes more than one name anyway). Moreover, in other parts apart from the aforementioned part, sometimes the author names someone out of the category being discussed to add some explanation about him. I also tagged such names with an asterisk so that they are distinguishable from the other names. 2- From PageV01P158 to PageV01P181 and from PageV01P360 to PageV02P042, some titles are just related to one or a few paragraphs. This happens because most of the titles are interred into the text from the margin of the manuscript as the editor mentions. Although some events are separated by the title “وفي هذه السنة” (and I have tagged the text exactly according to the titles in the PDF), but I must warn that this title is not only vague, but also occasional and just appears in the beginning of some events (and not all of them). So, one solution could be deleting all the second-level tags (since they don’t encompass all the following paragraphs). There is a table of contents in Vol 4 which is descriptive (i.e. a description of the contents of paragraphs) and cannot be used for tagging the text; but, the other solution could be adding extra titles using this descriptive table of contents to make the structure of the book more accurate (And the last solution is to accept the text as it is and doing nothing!). The decision must be taken by a specialist in Hadith literature. 3- In PageV01P156 the text need a title: “اوّل من آمن:” (as written in the descriptive table of contents). 4- As written in page V02P109, a part is missing in the original manuscript. So, the rest of the text is not about the same person (i.e. “سعيد بن جبير”). I guess that it must be about “سعيد بن المسيب”. 5- In Vol 3, after naming an important person, the author names those he has quoted from and those who have quoted from him and then returns to the rest of the names of the main category and does the same thing for another important person. I showed the return to the main category by a blank header to make the next names distinguishable from the previous ones. 90#VERS#DATE#####: 2019-10-14 90#VERS#ISSUES###: PAGINATION, INCOMPLETE_WORK, CLEANED_VERSION, PRIMARY_VERSION, PARATEXT
