Theories of Testimonial Knowledge in Islamic Theology
By Hassan Ansari and Amin Ehteshami
This monograph investigates theories of testimonial knowledge as articulated in the writings of al-Sharīf al-Murtaḍā (965–1044). Among the topics discussed are the definitions provided for testimonial report (khabar) and knowledge (ʿilm); the epistemic status of transmitted reports in general and scriptural reports in particular; the criteria developed for ascertaining the veracity of eyewitness testimony; the division of reports into corroborated (mutawātir) and uncorroborated (āḥād); the authority of uncorroborated reports in forming legal precepts; and the status of historical reports in establishing the authenticity of Prophet Muḥammad’s claim to prophecy and his performance of miracles. The authors trace these epistemological issues through al-Murtaḍā’s theological and jurisprudential writings and examine his engagement with a variety of prominent Muʿtazilī thinkers including al-Balkhī (d. 931), al-Jubbāʾī (d. 933), Ibn Khallād (fl. tenth century), and ʿAbd al-Jabbār (d. 1025). A close reading of relevant sections from Ibn Khallād’s theological handbook al-Uṣūl, along with the commentaries and revisions of ʿAbd al-Jabbār and al-Hārūnī (d. 1033), clarifies the contours and intricacies of the Muʿtazilī milieu within and against which al-Murtaḍā wrote. In addition, in order to situate the Muʿtazilī and Shīʿī discussions in a broader intellectual context, the authors briefly explore the contrasting views advocated by two of al-Murtaḍā’s contemporaries: (1) al-Bāqillānī (d. 1013), a renowned Ashʿarī thinker whose position concerning testimonial knowledge differs from al-Murtaḍā in some consequential respects; and (۲) Ibn al-Samḥ (d. ۱۰۲۷), a Baghdadi Christian philosopher whose epistemology of testimonial reports diverges from the Muʿtazilī, Ashʿarī, and Shīʿī theological frameworks. Theories of Testimonial Knowledge in Islamic Theology brings to surface the epistemological discussions informing the approaches of Muslim theologians and legal theorists to eyewitness testimony as a source of religious knowledge.
SYNTHESIS AND CONCLUSIONS:
There are three stages to understanding the Qurʾan: (a) tarjamah (translation), relating to the outward words and their meaning; (b) tafsīr, explaining the meanings of the verses; and (c) taʾwīl, about which three views have been presented. They are:
The popular view, that some meanings of [particular Qurʾanic] words and/or the ultimate meaning sought is taʾwīl;
Ibn ʿArabī’s view, that the hidden meaning that is bestowed by God Almighty is taʾwīl;
ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī’s view, that Qurʾanic words and meanings are derived from reality and that reality is taʾwīl.
According to the popular view, taʾwīl is not related to the whole of the Qurʾan, but only to certain verses, namely, those that are ambiguous. According to Ibn ‘Arabi’s view taʾwīl is possible for the whole of the Qurʾan, regardless of whether they are ambiguous or clear verses. This is so because the whole of the Qurʾan has hidden meanings that are bestowed from God, the Most Exalted. According to ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī as well, taʾwīl of the Qurʾan belongs to the entire Qurʾan, because the reality of all verses exists independent of their words.
According to the popular view and that of ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī, knowledge of taʾwīl is with God and those firmly rooted in knowledge (i.e., Ahl al-Bayt). However, according to Ibn ‘Arabi, those rooted in knowledge are all gnostics, whether they are of Ahl al-Bayt or not.
According to the popular view and that of Ibn ‘Arabi, taʾwīl is related to Qurʾanic words and their meaning. However, according to ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī, taʾwīl is not related to words, but rather to reality and objective existence.
The meaning of the Qurʾanic verse, “nor is there a single grain in the darkness of the earth, or anything, fresh or withered, that is not written in a clear Book”[13] is best understood if we accept ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī’s view. That is to say, in every age and era the reality of the words of the Holy Qurʾan can only be explained by Ahl al-Bayt. It is so because only these personalities are truly deserving of the title, “those who have knowledge of the Book.”[14] Hence, in every age, Ahl al-Bayt are needed to understand the Qurʾan, regardless of whether the particular science in question regards legal rulings, wisdom, or exhortations. Only Ahl al-Bayt can explicate the Qurʾan’s true meaning and purpose, for only they fully know the reality of things.

Muslim inb Awsaja
Think about your current state of faith, how consistent have you been with accepting and then supporting the truths that have been made manifest to you? In as many days, weeks, months, and years of your life that have passed, have you given time it’s true worth?
In the companions of al-Hussayn (as), we are able to find such an example. Much can be said about Muslim Ibn Awsaja’s noble lineage and position in the city of Kufa, but what stands out most is how he remained a devout supporter of the message of truth throughout the decades even through witnessing the tyranny of Yazid and his ancestors during his own timeline.
This is a man who stood beside Rasulillah (saw) from the beginning of his propagation, when obstinate enemies were out to eliminate him and there was no sign of victory ahead. We also see how he lead the muslims to victory in several battles during the time of Imam Ali (as); this unwavering commitment is what gave him the strength, despite old age, to make his presence amongst the few worthy on the night of ‘Ashura.
Muslim Ibn Awsaja, a devout companion, was among those who had written letters to Imam al-Hussayn (as) inviting him to go to Kufa. He was so sincere in his allegiance to support the uprising of Imam (as) in making clear the path of righteousness; this could be seen in his practice of Husn-e-dhaan (positive thinking) of others. Unfortunately this availed against him, given the peak of confusion that had touched society. When Ibn Ziyad wanted to find out where Hazrat Muslim Ibn Aqeel was hiding in Kufa, he dispatched his spy to Muslim Ibn Awsaja, in the guise of a trustworthy follower of Imam (as); Muslim believed him. This moment was one of great regret and left Muslim Ibn Awsaja grief stricken; after leading the spy to where Hazrat Muslim Ibn Aqeel was hiding, Muslim Ibn Aqeel was murdered.
On the night of ‘Ashura, when Imam al-Hussayn (as) gathered his companions and gave them each a reassurance of their oaths and allegiance, permitting them to leave. Muslim, being the first to speak out amongst the sahaba instilled a motivational and inspirational stance and uttered the following:
“Ya Aba abdillah, what face should we show ourselves before Allah on the day of judgement when we have deserted the grandson of Rasulillah (saw).
Ya Aba abdillah, If I'm killed and brought back to life and killed again and torn into pieces 70 times I will continue to do so. I would continuously defend the sacredness and sanctity of the Ahlul Bayt (as) and never desert you Aba Abdillah. By Allah I will never leave you, until
I will use my spear and penetrate it into their chests, as long as I have breath of this life I will do so in the honor of defending Rasulillah and his family.”
On the day of ‘Ashura, just as he was the first to utter his allegiance, he too was among the first to attain martyrdom. As he was left bleeding, parched with thirst, and breathing his last moments, Muslim was visited by Habib [another companion]; Habib tells him “O’ Muslim if I would have known I would be living a long while after you, I would ask from you to give me your will [wasiyah] and indeed Muslim, despite the fact of knowing that he would only live a few hours after him said:
“Yes indeed there is one thing I want you to do for me”, looking up and fixing his gaze somewhere, he said: “I want you to defend this man, and make sure you give your life before his.”
And when Habib looked around, it was Imam al-Hussayn (as). Moments later he departed this world.
Imam Hussayn (as) walked towards his body and said:
“May your Lord have mercy upon you, O’ Muslim bin Awsaja!
Of the believers are the men who are true to what they covenanted with Allah, of them is he who fulfilled his vow and of them is he who awaits (its fulfillment),
and they have changed not in the least”
(Surah al-Ahzaab, 33:23)
