Abū Muhammad Abd-Allāh ibn Muslim ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī al-Marwazī better known simply as Ibn Qutaybah ( Arabic : ابن قتيبة , romanized : Ibn Qutaybah ; c. 828 – 13 November 889 CE / 213 – 15 Rajab 276 AH) [3] was an Islamic [4] scholar of Persian descent. [5] [6] [7] [8] He served as a judge during the Abbasid Caliphate , but was best known for his contributions to Arabic literature . [9] [10] He was an Athari theologian [2] [11] and polymath [12] [13] [14] who wrote on diverse subjects, such as Qur'anic exegesis , hadith , theology , philosophy , law and jurisprudence , grammar , philology , history , astronomy , agriculture and botany .

His full name is Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdullāh b. Muslim ibn Qutaybah ad-Dīnawarī. He was born in Kufa in what is now Iraq . [15] [16] He was of Persian descent; his father was from Merv , Khorasan . Having studied tradition and philology he became qadi in Dinawar during the reign of Al-Mutawakkil , [10] and afterwards a teacher in Baghdad where he was tortured and killed. [15] [16] He was the first representative of the school of Baghdad philologists that succeeded the schools of Kufa and Basra . [17] He was known as a vocal opponent of "gentile" or shu'ubi Islam, i.e. openness to non-Islamic wisdom and values. [18]

He was viewed by Sunni Muslims as a hadith Master, foremost philologist, linguist, and man of letters. In addition to his literary criticism and anthologies, he was also known for his work in the problems of Tafsir or Qur'anic interpretation. [9] He also authored works on astronomy and legal theory. [16] [19] His book Uyun al-Akhbar , along with the romantic literature of Muhammad bin Dawud al-Zahiri and Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur , were considered by lexicographer Ibn Duraid to be the three most important works for those who wished to speak and write eloquently. [20] [21]

There can be no government without an army,
No army without money,
No money without prosperity,
And no prosperity without justice and good administration.

His work Taʾwīl mukhtalif al-ḥadīth was an influential early Atharite treatise that rebuked rationalists on the nature of Tradition. In his treatise, Ibn Qutayba censures the mutakallimūn (scholastic theologians) for holding contradictory and differing
views on the principles of religion. [23]

He wrote more than 60 books, [24] including :

Ibn Qutaybah , in full Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim ibn Qutaybah al-Dīnawarī , (born 828, Al-Kūfah , Iraq—died 889, Baghdad), writer of adab literature—that is, of literature exhibiting wide secular erudition—and also of theology, philology , and literary criticism . He introduced an Arabic prose style outstanding for its simplicity and ease, or “modern” flavour.
Little is known of Ibn Qutaybah’s life. Of Khorāsānian stock, he was qāḍī (religious judge) of Dinawar ( c. 851–870). From c. 871 until his death he taught at Baghdad .
The 14 surviving works definitively ascribed to Ibn Qutaybah include the Kitāb adab al-kātib (“Secretary’s Guide”), a compendium of Arabic usage and vocabulary; Kitāb al- ʿArab (“Book of the Arabs”), a defense of Arab rather than Iranian cultural preeminence; Kitāb al-maʿārif (“Book of Knowledge”), a handbook of history; Kitāb al-shi ʿr wa al-shuʿarāʾ (“Book of Poetry and Poets”), a chronological anthology of early Arabic poetry , with an introduction that presented Ibn Qutaybah’s canons of literary criticism; and Kitāb ʿuyūn al-akhbar (“Book of Choice Narratives”), a collection of adab studies dealing with the authority of the overlord, the conduct of war, nobility, character, eloquence, and friendship, valued for its wealth of examples from history , poetry, and proverbs.
