Introduction For a long time the study of 'Abbasid society has had a special fascination for mo, not only because it was "The Golden Age" of the Islamic civilization, but also because it witnessed changes in both literary and social life. Naturally, such changes were a result of a mixture of various nations and an intermarriage of different civilizations. From reading certain books which deal with social and literary aspects of that society, I have been struck by the idea that the numerous slave-girls might have participated in one way or another in such changes. This would not be surprising, since slave-girls in other societies played social and literary roles. It might be seen as conceivable that slave-girls, through their clothes, their social novelties, their fondness for poetry and above all their emergence in the households, influenced the man of that society, his way of'lifo and then his poetical production. I have thus decided to work on. the study of this subject, endeavouring to find out how far slave-girls of the LAbbäsid period played their social and literary roles. I hope this work interested in will stand as a useful contribution to serve those such a study. For the purpose of brevity and in view of the fact that I have the 'Abbäsid period covered several centuries, tried to confine this work exclusively to the so-called first 'Abbäsid Iv ( 0,1111 to, 749 A. D. to that poriod Cron, rsl : ºn t't'rils'rs )hn , of al- 1"lutawoldcil, 847), but at the camp time I have referred to incidents which took place outside this periods when Vic roforonco was nocossary. Ilowovor, two difficult things may be expected to confront anybody trying to study such a subjects. 1. The approach to this subject is narrative. The majority of the available information is acquired in the form of stories and tales, some of doubtful authenticity. In this case, it is necessary to throw an adequate critical light on such information, an art which requires knowing how widespread and accepted the stories about slavo-girls were. This art also requires reading the same information recorded in various books and told by different narrators. Again, a difficult task would arise from the fact that most of these stories were copied or borrowed from al-Aghani, even if they were available in other books. In this position, one has to rely upon familiarity with the uncertain nature of the stories and tales told by relators. 2. A great doal of information about slave-girls is subject their to exaggeration. This is so not only in the case of poetical their talents, but also of their numbers, their prices and musical has been dealt through- achievements. Such an exaggeration with out my work. It seems that discussion of slave-girls in the 'Abbasid period was customary and appreciated, not only among ordinary people in order to entertain themselves but also in the courts of V the caliphs. The caliph usually used to select his associates und hic boon companions among thoco with an adequate knowledge of (nkhbär). literature, history and stories Al-AsmaLI, Ish3q al- e0 II sill and Hammäd were among thomq and all found favour with several caliphs. The caliph, having his palace crowded with slave-girls; would be pleased when he retired to his private life to listen to stories and tales woven about slavo-girls. The caliph al-Mahd-1 was renotmed for his fondness for listening to such stories, and his vizier Yatqüb ibn Däwü.d used to provide him l with them. It appears that certain story tellers took to the inventing profession of stories about various subjects and spreading them. Among the most attractive subjects was, undoubtedly, slave-girls. For example, al-Asma'i, like other " 2 story tellers , was popular inside and outside the court. The caliph wanted him to entertain him with stories, and the public wanted to hoar them, and he himself wanted to make coney out of thorn and find favour with the caliph. Slave-girls represented an endless source for him to extract his stories from. In order to have his pocket full of the caliph's dinärs on one hand, he told him stories about the public's slave-girls and in order to establish his popularity on the other, he told the public stories about slave-girls of the palaces. 67. 1. Ibn al-t. thir, a1-Ký. mi1, v, p. 2. al-, Tarräh, al-Warana, p. 30. V 'Plio nin(or, nttornpting to provido nuitablo atmoophoro for his song, might toll a curious story, as for instance that he had borrowed his song from a slave-girl, adding more details in describing her and praising her talent and ability. The singer Ibn J7[miL told how he learned a particular song, which won the appreciation of his listenors, among whom was al-Rashid, from a 1 little pale slave-girl in al-MedIna. Ibrähim al Müsili told al-Rashid about his musical adventures with three slave-girls and how ho used to disguise himself when he went to them.

Poetry meant many different things at the time—it was at once art form, popular entertainment, instructional medium, and forum for sociopolitical commentary. The poems that appeared in periodicals of the era are therefore integral to our understanding of how the populace felt about any issue of consequence. Writers seized on this uniquely persuasive genre to win readers over to their cause, and perhaps most memorable among them are the abolitionists. Antislavery activists turned to poetry so as to connect both emotionally and rationally with a wide audience on a regular basis. By speaking out on behalf of those who could not speak for themselves, their poems were one of the most effective means of bearing witness to, and thus also protesting, a reprehensible institution. These pleas for justice proved ef- fective by insisting on the right of freedom of speech at a time when it ap- peared to be in jeopardy.

  • Ethics and Aesthetics in H Ad嚽th Literature and Classical Arabic Adab

Man's ``Hollow Core'': ethics and aesthetics in HadõÅth literature and classical Arabic adab* Ç Stefan Sperl School of Oriental and African Studies [email protected] Abstract Classical Arabic HadõÅth literature is largely composed of micro- narratives recordingÇ the sayings and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad. This study seeks to examine their literary form by focusingÇ on selected examples listed in the canonical HadõÅth compendia under the heading of adab, a term which may be renderedÇ here as ``practical ethics'' but which is also commonly used to designate classical Arabic belles-lettres. While the latter is a type of literature quite distinct from the literature of HadõÅth the texts here studied point to a certain interface betweenÇ them. The ethical dimension of adab as it appears in HadõÅth is examined further in the light of Haydon White's theory onÇ the relation between narrativity and law. Contrasting the micro-narrative of HadõÅth with the ``macro- narrative'' of the epic provides further insightÇ into its approach to adab and serves to highlight its distinct literary and religious aesthetic. Works of classical Arabic prose often consist of brief statements and tales narrated by transmitters and covering a range of topics for the purpose of generating the composite image of a history, a personality or an idea. This style of writing, in which the author's acclaimed function is primarily that of editor and compiler, is
