This article aims at reassessing the historical and intellectual standing of Muḥammad Šīrīn Maġribī (d. 810/1408) by demonstrating the key role he played in the transmission of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s (d. 638/1240) chains of spiritual descent. This is, at the same time, an original contribution to the study of Akbarī silsilas. A re-reading of familiar sources, together with a range of previously unknown or unexplored documents, leads to a reassessment of established scholarship on Šīrīn Maġribī which has hitherto seen him primarily as a Sufi poet. The present study provides an enhanced portrait of this figure, shedding light on his intense intellectual activity over and above poetry, and on the significant role he played in contemporary Sufi networks far beyond Tabriz and the Persianate World. In this new light, Maġribī emerges as an eminent and influential agent of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s legacy through the transmission of Akbarī silsilas, the teaching of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s works, and the writing of influential texts that contributed to the diffusion of Akbarī doctrines.

The Ḥiǧāz in the 11th/17th century has long been considered the center of a “revival” movement in ḥadīṯ studies. This assumption has spread widely among scholars of the 11th-/17th- and 12th-/18th-century Islamic world based on the fact that the isnāds of many major ḥadīṯ scholars from almost all parts of the Islamic world from the 11th/17th century onward return to a group of scholars in the Ḥiǧāz. The scholarly group that is assumed to have played a critical role in the flourishing of ḥadīṯ studies in the 11th/17th-century Ḥiǧāz is called the al-Ḥaramayn circle or network. However, to date, there have been no studies that investigate what was actually happening in that century concerning ḥadīṯ studies. Examining the actual ḥadīṯ studies of one of the scholars at the core of al-Ḥaramayn circle, i.e. Ibrāhīm b. Ḥasan al-Kūrānī, will unpack the main interest of Ḥiǧāzī scholars in ḥadīṯ literature, reveal previously unstudied aspects of ḥadīṯ studies in the 11th/17th-century Ḥiǧāz, correct some unexamined assumptions, and situate the ḥadīṯ efforts of scholars of the 11th/17th-century Ḥiǧāz within a general framework of developments within ḥadīṯ studies.

Richard Bell donne Cor 23, 12-14 comme exemple de « rimes cachées » par l’adjonction de segments rimant en -īn, qui est, avec -ūn, la rime de cette sourate. Leur suppression révélerait une petite pièce, sémantiquement cohérente, de sept versets rimant en -ah (ou -a pour Montgomery Watt). Si ce passage est sollicité pour l’histoire du texte par les islamologues, il pourrait l’être pour celle de la langue et du style coraniques par les linguistes arabisants. Sans supprimer d’éléments, mais en nous fondant sur le rasm, qui note la prononciation pausale du tāʾ marbūṭa et du tanwīn-an, nous montrons que Cor 23, 12-14 constitue un pur morceau de saǧʿ. Il se décompose en huit segments, dont sept syntaxiquement parallèles, rimant en -īn, -ah et -ā, -ah étant également rime interne en 12 et 13. Un seul segment, le septième, ne rime avec aucun autre, mais rimerait avec un constituant de 13, si on supprimait la flexion désinentielle. Et si on supprime l’ensemble des voyelles brèves finales, flexionnelles ou non, on s’aperçoit que c’est l’ensemble des constituants de 23, 12-14 qui riment entre eux. On fait alors l’hypothèse que l’arabe coranique est sans flexion désinentielle et que celle-ci, syntaxiquement non pertinente, a été introduite pour des raisons prosodiques, liées à la récitation psalmodiée du Coran (taǧwīd).
