- I don't understand how some academics can write harsh critiques attacking the academic integrity of their colleagues when they engage in the same behavior they criticize. How can one have such a lack of self-awareness? #academicsky
- An interesting discovery: In 1081/1670, Shaykha Fāṭima al-Kūrāniyya, mother of Muḥammad b. Rasūl al-Barzanjī (d. 1103/1692), issued an ijāza ʿāmma to a group of prominent scholars at her son’s house in Medina, authorizing the transmission of several major ḥadīth collections.
- Those present included Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī (d. 1101/1690) and the Moroccan scholar Ibrāhīm b. ʿAlī al-Sibāʿī (d. 1138/1726), who recorded this samāʿ in his al-Shumūs al-mushriqa. Al-Sibāʿī studied under Maḥammad b. Nāṣir al-Darʿī and later taught at the Nāṣiriyya lodge in Tamgrūt.
- Al-Sibāʿī returned to Morocco with a copy of al-Kūrānī's Itḥāf al-Dhakī, a risāla on a text by Muḥammad b. Faḍl Allāh Burhānbūrī (d. 1029/1620). He had collated this copy at al-Kūrānī's home in Medina, evidenced by a collation note I discovered in Tamgrūt.
- I would love to learn more about Fāṭima al-Kūrāniyya, an apparently older lady and ḥadith scholar who taught younger male scholars (and who was seemingly not related to Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī). If anyone has time to write about her, i'll be your reader! :)
