%X Al-Q¨¡d¨© al-Nu,m¨¡n b. Muhammad was the most outstanding and prolific F¨¡tim¨© scholar and the founder of Ism¨¡,¨©l¨© jurisprudence. In his epistle ¡°The eloquent clarification for the refutation of Ibn Qutayba¡±, still in manuscript, al-Nu,m¨¡n engaged in a heated atttack on Ibn Qutayba, who had lived a century earlier. The epistle was probably composed in the time of al-Mu¡äizz at the request of an anonymous tutor of the caliph¡¯s sons. Al-Nu¡äm¨¡n¡¯s purpose was to refute Ibn Qutayba¡¯s assertion in the introduction to his famous Adab al-K¨¡tib, acording to which it was enough for the kutt¨¡b, the civil servants of the state, to memorize a number of simple legal formulas in order to perform their duties, without the need to learn the lengthy dissertations of the fuqah¨¡¡¯ or doctors of law. Al-Q¨¡d¨© al-Nu¡äm¨¡n, who was himself a famous faq¨©h, dedicates his epistle to proving that in fact without these long dissertations the law could not be properly applied. He refers to each legal formula mentioned by his oponent in Adab al-K¨¡tib and shows how applications of the law should be based on the authority of the Im¨¡ms of the Ahl al-Bayt, the family of the Prophet Muhammad. At the same time he refutes various Sunnite legal perspectives on these same issues. Al-Q¨¡d¨© al-Nu¡äm¨¡n b. Muhammad es el m¨¢s destacado y prol¨ªfico de los estudiosos fatim¨ªes y el fundador de la jurisprudencia ism¨¡¡ä¨©l¨ª. En su ep¨ªstola ¡°La clarificaci¨®n elocuente para la refutaci¨®n de Ibn Qutayba¡±, todav¨ªa en manuscrito, al-Nu,m¨¡n se lanza a una pol¨¦mica en contra de Ibn Qutayba, que hab¨ªa vivido un siglo antes. Es probable que la ep¨ªstola fuera escrita en la ¨¦poca de al- Mu¡äizz a petici¨®n de un tutor an¨®nimo de los hijos del califa. En ella, al-Nu¡äm¨¡n se propone refutar la afirmaci¨®n de Ibn Qutaybba, incluida en la introducci¨®n de su famosa obra Adab al-K¨¡tib, seg¨²n la cual era suficiente para la realizaci¨®n de sus tareas que los kutt¨¡b, o funcionarios del estado, memorizaran una serie de f¨®rmulas legales simples, sin tener que aprenderse las largas disertaciones de los fuqah¨¡¡¯ o doctores de la ley. Al-Q¨¡d¨© al-Nu¡äm¨¡n, un faq¨©h famoso, se dedica en la ep¨ªstola a demostrar que sin estas disertaciones no se pod¨ªa aplicar la ley correctamente. En su texto se refiere a cada f¨®rmula legal mencionada por su rival en Adab al-K¨¡tib y demuestra c¨®mo la ley se deber¨ªa aplicar bas¨¢ndose en la autoridad de los im¨¡mes del Ahl al-Bayt, la Familia del Profeta Muhammad. Tambi¨¦n refuta las distintas interpretaciones legales sunn¨ªes de estas mismas cuestiones.
