9782745128560Original text
Tabaqat al-Shāfi'iyya al-Kubra (Arabic: طبقات الشافعية الكبرى, lit. 'The Major Classes/Generations of the Shafi'is') is a voluminous encyclopedic biographical dictionary written by the Shafi'i-Ash'ari scholar Taj al-Din al-Subki (d. 771/1370), in which he presents biographies of scholars of the Shafi'i legal school in Sunni Islam, from the time of Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi'i (d. 204/820) all the way to his own contemporary time.[1][2]
The work also chronicles the history of the Ash'ari school of thought, since its beginning with Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324/936) all the way to Taj al-Din al-Subki's own era; because most of the Ash'ari scholars are following the Shafi'i school of Islamic jurisprudence.[3]
Content
The work is divided into seven classes (tabaqat), as follows:[4]
- Those who were students (disciples) of Imam al-Shafi'i (d. 204/820), the founder of the Shafi'i school.
- Those who died between 200 AH and 300 AH.
- Those who died between 300 AH and 400 AH.
- Those who died between 400 AH and 500 AH.
- Those who died between 500 AH and 600 AH.
- Those who died between 600 AH and 700 AH.
- Those who died after 700 AH.
In the last volume, al-Subki devotes about 150 pages to his own father, Shaykh al-Islam Taqi al-Din al-Subki (d. 756/1355).[4]
Notes
- Taj al-Din al-Subki wrote three different works on this same subject, a large work entitled, 'Tabaqat al-Shafi'iyya al-Kubra', a more summarized edition called, 'Tabaqat al-Shafi'iyya al-Wusta', and the most shortened edition called, 'Tabaqat al-Shafi'iyya al-Sughra'. These tabaqat (“classes” or “generations”) of scholars by him have the fame of being the best biographies of Shafi'i scholars ever written.[4]
