The duty of the pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the Ka'ba (ḥajj), as imposed by Qur'ān 3: 91 on every Muslim, has been expounded in all the collections of traditions (ḥadīth) and all the textbooks of canonical law (fiqh). Historians dealt with the institution of the pilgrimage, and geographers described the sacred cities of Makka and Madīna as well as the surrounding country of al-Ḥijāz. The traditional and topical information about the pilgrimage had in time increased so much that in the sixth century A.H./twelfth century A.D. the celebrated Baghdād polyhistor Ibn al-Jauzī could compile it in a medium-sized handbook.

page 541 note 3 The MSS. studied by me are the two MSS. of the Prussian State Library of Berlin. Both were written by later hands. MS. No. 4042, to the foliopages and lines of which I refer in this paper, seems to be an older and more complete copy than MS. Oct. 1452, which is deficient, fols. 53, 54, and 58, as well as the end of the work from fol. 300 onwards, being wanting. The fact that in the former MS. the author is constantly referred to in the first person of the singular whereas he is regularly mentioned as al-muṣannif (the author) in the latter MS., may perhaps point to the former MS. being copied after the autograph, which might not have been the case with the latter MS.

page 544 note 1 Cf. my paper, pp. 65–6. His full name is, according to as-Sam'ānī's Kitāb al-ansāb, ed. Margoliouth, D. S., p. 451Google Scholar, Abū Mansur ‘Abdarraḥmān ibn abī Ghālib Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdalwāḥid ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Munāzil ash-Shaybāni al-Qazzāz. According to the same passage, his master was also Abu'l-Ḥusayn ibn al-Yaqūr. Al-Qazzāz's father Abū Ghālib, known as Ibn az-Zurayq, was also a renowned traditionist.

page 546 note 1 That the Muthīr al-'azm impressed later authors, appears from a description of Makka and its holy mosque by Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad ad-Diyārbakrī, Ḥanbalite or Ḥanafite qāḍī of Makka (d. after 982/1574–5), see the MS. of Berlin (Ahlwardt, No. 6069), fols. 92–3. He evidently borrowed the title of Ibn al-Jauzī's handbook for his work on general history Ta'rīkh al-khamīs fī aḥwāl nafs nafīs (printed in Cairo, 1283 and 1302 a.h.).
