The Kharijites in the Book of Al-Kamil Fi Allugha Wa AL Adeb by Al-Mubarrad (285AH/898AD) comparative historical study

Abstract

This study came to follow the news of the Kharijites in one of the most important sources of Arabic literature, which is the book al-Kamil fi al-Adab and language by Abu al-Abbas al-Mubarrad (d. 285 AH). The Kharijites sect in particular, as Al-Mubarrad singled out a large axis dedicated to the news of the Kharijites from the moment they appeared, highlighting their impact on the general conditions of the Arab Islamic state, their most important groups, and their leaders. Since Al-Mubarrad is considered one of the advanced writers, its historical material is considered to be of high value, and it has become a source for other historians who took many narrations from it. What distinguishes Al-Mubarrad from the comprehensive and objective Kharijites in the historical narratives, as it follows the news of this sect from the moment of its appearance, highlighting the historical premises of its emergence, and the role played by this sect in the general events of the Arab Islamic state. This study came to analyze and compare these narrations starting from the era of the Messenger who predicted the emergence of this sect, then the issue of arbitration and their rebellion against Imam Ali, and their wars with him, in addition to their political and intellectual impact during the era of the Umayyad state.
