101 Hadith Qudsi by pImam ibn Arabi

hadith and ibn ¡arabi
of the sayings of Ibn ¡Arab¨, and was given authority (riwåya) to pass on Ibn
¡Arab¨’s writings from the copies he had made.
(3, 10, 21, 25, 33, 35, 37, 39, 40)
5 Mu¢ammad b. Khålid al-Íadaf¨
This disciple of Ibn ¡Arab¨ originally came from Tlemcen in Algeria. He is
mentioned, with al-±abash¨, as having requested the writing of the ±ilyat
al-Abdål, which was written in the same year as the Mishkåt, 599/1203, during
a visit to Êå¤if, a town some 100 km to the south-east of Mecca.
(5, 8, 9, 12, 15, 19, 22)
6 Ab¬ al-±asan ¡Al¨ b. ¡Abdallåh b. ¡Abd al-Ra¢mån al-Firyåb¨ al-Lakhm¨
This mu¢addith was one of Ibn ¡Arab¨’s older companions, and is mentioned
as present at the Meccan reading of the R¢ al-quds, dated AH 600. Like
Ibn ¡Arab¨, he was originally from Andalusia and may have been related
to the famous Ibn Barrajån. He had also been a student of the Andalusian
mu¢addith, ¡Abd al-±aqq al-Azd¨ (see Fut. II. 302), copying one of his works
in Seville in AH 563. He died in 646/1248.
(7, 13, 20, 26)
7 *Ab¬ Bakr Mu¢ammad b. ¡Abdallåh b. al-¡Arab¨ al-Ma¡å¥r¨
He was one of the famous Andalusian mu¢addith¬n of the twelfth century,
but bearing no direct relation to our author. Born in Seville in 468/1076,
he travelled with his father to the East, studying in Damascus, Baghdad and
Egypt. On his return to Seville, he wrote many books on different subjects,
including ¢ad¨th, and became for a time the chief justice (q剨) of the town.
When the Almohads took Seville, he was taken to Marrakesh where he was
imprisoned for a year. He died in 543/1148 and was buried in Fez.
(27, 32)
8 Ab¬ Wal¨d A¢mad b. al-¡Arab¨ al-Ma¡å¥r¨
The cousin of the above, he met Ibn ¡Arab¨ in Seville in 1196. He transmitted
¢ad¨th from Ab¬ Bakr Mu¢ammad b. al-¡Arab¨, and gave Ibn ¡Arab¨
authorisation for their transmission.

9 Al-Zak¨ b. Ab¬ Bakr al-¡Iråq¨
This person remains unidenti¥ed. He may be the same as Y¬suf b. Ab¬ Bakr al-
±anaf¨, who was present at the reading of the R¬¢ al-quds in Mecca in AH 600.
