The narrative approach of Abu Abbas Al-Darjini through his book The Classes of the Scholars in Morocco: a critical analytical perspective
Résumé
This research discusses the topic of narration according to Abu Abbas Al-Darjini. It begins with a brief biography of the author and his scholarly life, before moving on to his book The Classes of the Scholars in Morocco. The study then examines his methodology for tracking narration, focusing on his presentation methods and the evidence he provides, as well as the classifications he presents and their intended benefits. It also explores his methods of transmitting narratives, whether through chains of transmission (isnad), written sources or oral communication. Finally, the research concludes with a detailed discussion of the scientific value of the material in the book and how Abu Abbas Al-Darjini correctly utilised it. It also addresses how Orientalists such as Montelensky benefited from the evidential and scientific value of the book in their documentary and critical studies. The study aims to highlight the unique methodology adopted by Abu Abbas Al-Darjini in his collection of narratives and biographies, particularly within the Ibadhi tradition of North Africa. The study emphasises his temporal classifications for each era, building on the work of his predecessors and inspiring later researchers to improve their skills in gathering, researching and understanding this subject. Familiarity with earlier scholars‘ methodologies equips researchers with the competence to handle texts and strengthens their ability to write scientifically. Given Abu Abbas Al-Darjini‘s exceptional knowledge, narrative skills and documentation, he deserves the attention of researchers who can draw on his work and balanced methodology. Undoubtedly, the benefit Orientalists derived from his works in their critical studies reflects the scientific value of his book and its esteemed status among his contemporaries.
