- Résumé
- This article examines rhetorical strategies in letters from rulers to rebels as part of a complex system of early Islamic conflict resolution. It offers a historical, historiographical, and literary analysis of two case studies (late seventh and early ninth century), locating them within a broader discourse of political authority and opposition that was couched in the covenantal lexicon of the Qurʾan and also included the safe-conduct (amān) and oath of allegiance (bayʿa). Beyond the two main case studies, the article suggests a common template of letters to rebels that grants insight into the political culture of the early Islamic period.
