@KaraSeyfeddin There is something called 'the double logic of a narrative': the story that is narrated both precedes and comes after the narrative; i.e. the story comes into life only when it is narrated for the first time -- and so no need to expect a dating method to date a story before that.

@Egsaba_IA @Ayang_Utriza An update: Although Ibn Khallikān gives it as -wayh, the name apparently entered into Arabic as Sībawayhi with a final -i during Harūn's time.

@AkpinarMcan @Ayang_Utriza He seems to present the Persian pronunciation as Sībūyah, which I have also seen. But his biography in the "Makers of the Islamic World" series is called "Sibawayhi." (oxcis.ac.uk/publication/si…). Kees Versteegh also calls him "Sībawayhi" (taylorfrancis.com/chapters/mono/…).

Does anyone know what the deal is with the transliteration of سيبويه's name? Sībawayh versus Sībawayhi? Help plz.

3/Another report: the Syrian al-Awzāʿī (d. 774) was asked about grave robbery. His answer was firm: this is an evil deed!
He cited a Prophetic ḥadīth prohibiting entry into homes without permission, adding: graves are even more sacred than houses. archive.org/details/201911…
English
2/ Four men fell into dispute over how to divide the treasure they excavated.
The case was brought before al-Zuhrī (d. 742), a leading jurist of the Umayyad period, and his decision was about to determine who owned what once the buried treasure resurfaced. (Wakīʿ, Akhbār, 3/211)
English
1/ Here are some interesting reports on treasure hunting and grave robbery from the Umayyad period.
Muslim jurists of the time permitted certain cases while prohibiting others.
One case from old town Lattakia tells of men who unearthed buried gold… and then turned on each other

1/ Here is a broken ḥadīth inscription I managed to decipher on on the mihrab of one of the most beautiful mosques in Ankara/Turkey.
It is 13th-c. Seljuk Mosque with a wooden architecture & went through a successful restoration recently.

@abdurrahimozer_ Sadece kitabenin harflerinin olduğu kısmın zarar görmüş olması restorasyon sırasında olmuş olabileceği ihtimalini bana da düşündürdü.
Zira Efes/Selçuk'ta yeni yapılan restorasyonda taşı beyazlatmak için agresif kimyasal kullanımı sonrası tahrip olan kitabeler var (İsabey Cami)👇
Türkçe
@AkpinarMcan İnşallah restorasyon sırasında zarar görmemiştir. O kadar uzun süre sağlam kalıp da böyle yakın tarihte kırılmış olması çok üzücü. Benim tam tahmin ettiğim değil ama yine yakın anlamı olan bir hadis çıktı. Mihraba yerleştirilmesinden yola çıkarak tahmin etmiştim ben de açıkçası.
Türkçe
@iftiswelt Yes!
إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الصَّوْتِ صَوْتُ الْقُرْآنِ
Indeed, the most beautiful voice is the voice (recitation) of the Qur'an.
The ḥadīth was recorded as such by İbrahim Hakkı Konyalı in his 1978 Ankara book. The damage seems to be relatively new.

3/ The lower right column is severely damaged. The restorers were unable to read or reconstruct it; only a few opening letters remain legible. It reads:
قال النبي عليه السلام
إنّ أحسن الصو.....
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
"The best of ...
ANY GUESSES?
I'll post the answer tomorrow.
2/ The lower part of the mihrab bears two beautifully inscribed ḥadīths.
The one on the right fortunately remains intact,
قال النبي عليه
السلام الناس في مساجدهم
والله في حوائجهم
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
"The people are in their mosques, and God is in their needs." ++

@shahanSean Interesting. When Willibald and other travelers with him arrived in Syria, they were initially arrested for some time—but I think because they were suspected of being spies rather than pilgrims.
English
Interesting claim. Western pilgrims visiting the Holy Land in the early Islamic period, like Arculf and Wilibald of Eichstätt, often passed through Damascus to visit the Christian holy sites in the city.
بدر الدين@D1mashqi
The people of Damascus used to glorify their city and believe that it is the door to the Ka'bah (because it's where the Hajj convoy would assemble) They used to prohibit western Christians from visiting it, because they saw them impure. So European travellers were unable to visit it except if they were disguised in Islamic clothing This remained until 1833 when Ibrahim Pasha allowed for western consuls to open consulates for them in Damascus, and westerners were then able to freely roam the city

@abdurrahimozer_ Evet, normalde önce çalışılıp, yayınlanması lazım. Bir de Arapça olmayan kaynaklara gösterilen fazladan kredi.

@AkpinarMcan Hocam bu biraz da sosyal medyanın akademiye etkisi mi acaba? Kısa, çabuk ve sansasyonel bir şeyler söylemek için, bazen de bunu ilk yapanlardan biri olabilmek için normalde bir tarihçinin böyle durumda göstereceği temkini elden bırakıveriyor sanki bazıları.
Türkçe
Curious how a newly discovered late Arabic translation of an “early” Syriac chronicle is so readily treated as early and authentic.
Tmk, Vahan & Sacellarius appear as Byzantine commanders only in early Arabic conquest narratives, so very likely derived from the Arabic tradition
