No full textThe authenticity of the letter of âAbd Allâh b. IbâḠto âAbd al-Malik
No full textThe so-called first letter of Ibn IbâḠwas long considered in modern scholarship as an authentic letter of âAbd Allâh b. Ibâá¸, the reputed founder of the Ibâá¸iyya sect, to the Umayyad caliph âAbd al-Malik. This was questioned first by John Wilkinson and then by Michael Cook in his book on Early Muslim Theology, who proposed that the letter was written rather by Jâbir b. Zayd to the Muhallabid amĂŽr âAbd al-Malik b. al-Muhallab. In his recent book on Ibadism, John Wilkinson has argued that the letter was addressed to âAbd al-Malik, the son of the caliph âUmar II, and that Jâbir b. Zayd could not have been its author. It will be argued in this paper that the letter is an authentic letter of âAbd Allâh b. IbâḠaddressed to the son of âUmar II. Ibn IbâḠwas not the founder of the Ibâá¸iyya sect, but rather a contemporary and rival of AbĂť âUbayda Muslim b. AbĂŽ KarĂŽma
