Abū l-Rabī‘ Sulaymān b. Mūsā ibn Sālim …al-Humayri al-Kalā‘ī

Posted on 29/08/201831/08/2018 By Linda Jones

Abū l-Rabī‘ al-Kalā‘ī (555/1160-634/1237) was a Hadith scholar, Friday liturgical preacher, and ceremonial court orator in the service of the Almohads in Valencia. He was famed for his  eloquence as an orator and belletrist. He wrote several books on the Hadith, belles-letters, and preaching, but he was best known for his work, al-Iqtifā’ fī maghāzī rasul Allāh wa-l-khulafā’ al-thalātha (“Following in the footsteps of the battles of the Messenger of God and the Three Rightly Guided Caliphs).” He participated in many military campaigns against the Christians and repor3etedly attained martyrdom during the battle of Anisha, felled as he was inciting the Muslims, exhorting,  “Would you flee from Paradise?!”

Today is Candlemas, a festival of light in the lengthening days of early spring. An Anglo-Saxon sermon for this ancient and beautiful feast, when 'þæt soðe Leoht, Crist, wæs geboren to þam temple' ('the true Light, Christ, was borne to the temple'): https://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2012/01/lfric-on-candlemas-twofold-burgeoning.html
