- Résumé
- P. 311: the conclusion to which this brief study points is that Wāṣil came from what was predominantly a moderate Khārijite background. The doctrine of the Manzila [bayna Manzilatayni] was insufficient in itself to mark him off clearly. He and his followers, though close to the Ibāḍites, seem to have been distinct from them. The probability is that the Muʿtazila were sharply distinguished from the Khārijites only after they had accepted the nickname and given it an honourable meaning by referring it to the five principles. This happened in the ninth century, perhaps in the time of Abū ‘l-Hudhayl, and may be linked with the attempt to claim Wāṣil instead of ʿAmr as forerunner and founder.
