Shams Al-Din Al-Samarqandi’s (d. 1322) Two Unknown Commentaries on Al-Nasafi: Sharh ManshaʾAl-Nazar, Sharh Al-Nikat Al-Daruriyya Al-Arbaʿiniyya

In this article, we argue two anonymous manuscripts on Islamic jurisprudential disputation theory (‘ilm al-khilāf) to belong to Shams al-Dīn al-Samarqandī (d. 1322), a scholar in the late period of Islamic thought, based on content analysis and textual phrase comparisons. The manuscripts are not ref...

description In this article, we argue two anonymous manuscripts on Islamic jurisprudential disputation theory (‘ilm al-khilāf) to belong to Shams al-Dīn al-Samarqandī (d. 1322), a scholar in the late period of Islamic thought, based on content analysis and textual phrase comparisons. The manuscripts are not referenced as belonging to al-Samarqandī in the library catalogues or bibliographic studies. The manuscripts are commentaries on two distinct works from Burhān al-Dīn al-Nasafī (d. 1289), one being on Manshaʾ al-naẓar in which al-Nasafī summarizes ʿilm al-khilāf in theory and practice and the other being on al-Nikāt al-ḍarūriyya al-arba‘īniyya, which is also known as al-Usṭuqussāt. Here al-Nasafī inquired about 40 points of disagreement between Ḥanafiyya and Shāfiʿiyya in al-Nikāt. In conclusion, the facts that support our argument are: (a) Preface (ḥamdala and ṣalwala), and introduction (muqaddima) of the manuscripts match the ḥamdala, ṣalwala, and muqaddima from al-Samarqandī’s works, (b) in the commentary on al-Nikāt, al-Samarqandī referenced his other works by name saying “z̠ akarnā,” (c) Kamāl al-Dīn al-Turkānī (d. 1354), who wrote a gloss (ḥāshiya) on al-Samarqandī’s Sharḥ al-Fuṣūl declared in the ḥāshiya that the commentaries belong to al-Samarqandī, (d) Sharḥ al-Fuṣūl and Sharḥ Manshaʾ al-naẓar have the same assertions and mannerisms on various issues. Lastly, we have appended a critical edition of the Arabic text from Sharḥ Manshaʾ al-naẓar.
