<論考>『ハンバル学派列伝への補遺』におけるハンバル学派とスーフィズム

Abstract

The present paper reviews the descriptions of Sufiism in al-Dhayl ʻalā al-Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābila (The Supplement to the Biography Collection of Hanbalis) composed by Ibn Rajab (d. 795/1393). Despite the richness of information on Sufism, this work has not been well studied in Ḥanbalī or Sufi studies. First, it provides an overview of studies of the Ḥanbalī school and Sufism, and indicates the point at issue. It then introduces al-Dhayl and its author. Subsequently, it extracts the major elements of Sufism appearing in the biographical entries of al-Dhayl and examines which previous studies have not done so. In addition, the descriptions of al-Ḥallāj (d. 309/922) and Manāzil al-sā'irīn, the masterpiece by Ḥanbalī Sufi ʻAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī al-Harawī (d. 481/1089), are investigated to indicate Ibn Rajab's criterion of Sufism in line with Manāzil's interpretation. Finally, in the conclusion, the paper suggests that the Ḥanbalī school has a diverse tradition of Sufism which is not merely developed in a traditionalist or ascetic manner while they clearly reject the concept of waḥda al-wujūd and ittiḥādīya.
