| Abstract

This dissertation deals with the development of the Hanbali madhhab in its stronghold, the capital city of the 'Abbasi caliphate. It examines this madhhab with regard to three aspects, the careers of the 'ulama' (religious scholars), the popular manifestations, and the doctrinal implications, from the beginning of the fourth/tenth century to the third quarter of the fifth/eleventh century. The focus, however, is on the popular movements. The historical background, against which the Hanbali movements can be best understood, is examined in the opening chapter of this dissertation. This background primarily consists of the political situation of the Muslim world, which can be described in terms of fragmentation, and the sectarian tendencies of Muslim rulers. Information concerning the declining economic condition of Baghdad and the development of different madhahib (sing. madhhab) in that city is also part of this background. The second chapter studies a number of the leading Hanbali 'ulama', such as al-Barbahari al-Najjad, Ibn Batta, Ibn Sam'un, Ibn Hamid, Abu Ya'la ibn al-Farra', and Abu Ja'far al-Hashimi The emphasis is on their biographies: lives, educations, works, ideas and political careers. This type of information provides an understanding of how individual Hanbalis contributed to the development of the intellectual, popular and political aspects of the Hanbali madhhab. The third chapter analyzes the course of Hanbali movements during more than a century and a half, a period which marked the height of the movements under the leadership of many important Hanbali 'ulama' from Abu Muhammad al-Barbahari (d. 329/941) to Sharif Abu Ja'far al-Hashimi (d. 470/1077). The presentation of the events is chronological rather than thematic. The fourth chapter deals with the ideological positions of the Hanabila, which explain the intellectual issues underlying their confrontations against the Shia, Mutazila, Ashariyya and other people of {\it bid}{\it a} (innovation) and moral laxity. The structure of this chapter is more thematic than chronological. This dissertation then closes with the conclusion which covers the basic ideas of all the chapters. It indicates the nature of the relationship among madhahib in Islam, which can be characterized as tolerance in issues of jurisprudence but intolerance in those of theology. It is the theological issues which often brought the Hanabila into major conflicts with their opponents.
