Reviews and Corrections

The author of the article at hand has explored several issues. First, he gives in a detailed discussion about Sayf b. ‘Umar Tamīmī Asīdī, the newly found manuscript of the book Al-Ridda wa al-Futuḥ, Sayf’s method for the development of the historical reports, and the formation of his historiography. The author of this paper extensively discusses Sayf’s historical reports on the prominent events and the manner of his manipulation of those reports, and shows that how Sayf has deliberately distorted the historical reports. Then, he talks about the Old Bahraini emigrant Shī‘a clans and scholars in Iran such as ‘Abd al-Jabbār clan or Āl ‘Abd al-Muḥsin and their scientific contributions or practical actions for the facilitation of conditions for Iranian Hajj pilgrims. The pilgrimage to Mashhad in the Imāmīte scholars’ view and their attention to manuscripts due to their role in provision of a clearer picture of the scientific conditions in Jabal ‘Āmil in the 9th century AH along with the presentation of some points about an unknown scholar from Jabal ‘Āmil in the 9th century AH are other discussions provided in the article. Finally, the author concludes the article by an extensive examination of the Arabization of Persian words and their use in the correction of ancient texts along with the presentation of some points about Shaikh ‘Abd al-Muḥsin Lu’aymī and his clan.
