چکیده:
Ibn al-Rawandi was, at one period, a Mu'tazilite and subsequently developed an inclination toward Imamism. The present writing aims to address which framework of Imami thought Ibn al-Rawandi adopted the Imamite religion within; and whether, given his Mu'tazilite inclinations, he in some way introduced the method and content of Mu'tazilite thought into Imami theology and created a specific literature within it, or if he simply followed the general current of Imami theology preceding him? With the aim of clarifying the status of Shiite theology throughout the third century AH and also revealing the status of Imami thought between the two schools of Imami theology in Kufa and Baghdad, by comparing the thoughts of Ibn al-Rawandi with Hisham ibn al-Hakam, as a prominent representative of Imami theology in Kufa, this hypothesis was pursued that Ibn al-Rawandi can be considered a continuator of the Imami theological method in Kufa. It appears that Ibn al-Rawandi, in a non-hostile confrontation with the Mu'tazila, attempted to explain the Imami epistemological system through the revival of the Imami theological school in Kufa.
خلاصه ماشینی:
He considers this group of great Imami theologians in Kufa to be among the moderates of Shiite thought (Ahl al-Iqtisad minhum), who refer to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) in theological discussions and also utilize rational arguments in their discourses (Khayyat, n.
In his works, Ibn Rawandi has extensively reported Hisham's thoughts on various theological subjects, such as Tawhid, Justice, and Imamate (al-Ash'ari, 1400 AH: 32, 207-208; Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, n.
For example, in order to show the intellectual deviations of the Mu'tazilites against the Imamis, Ibn Rawandi compares Hisham's thoughts with Abu Hudhayl's and subjects them to evaluation and criticism (Khayyat, n.
d. (b): 2: 551), Abu Ali al-Jubba'i believes that Ibn Rawandi, in the discussions of Tawhid and Justice, is in the same conceptual space as Hisham (Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, 1965, 20: 37-38).
This basis in the discussion of Divine Knowledge would cause the negation of God's foreknowledge; the acceptance of this basis, alongside the implication that / has created, has provided this pretext for the opponents of Ibn Rawandi to accuse him, like Hisham ibn al-Hakam (Khayyat, n.
In the discussion of Imamate, it must also be said that Abu Ali al-Jubba'i believes that Ibn Rawandi is influenced by and follows the same path as Hisham (Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, 1965, 20: 37-38).
Ibn Rawandi, in his two books "al-Imamah" and "Fadihat al-Mu'tazila," in which he defended the foundations of the thought of Imamate, has based some of his discussions on the ideas of Hisham (Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, n.
