%T Finding the Commentary of a Story While Chasing the Story of a Commentary: Ahmad b. Ma£¿m¨±d al-£¿alab¨©'s Shar£¿ al-Jaw¨¡hir al-Mu£¿¨©£¿a and His Testimony to the Murder of Nas¨©m¨©

%X This study deals with a kalam commentary text written in Aleppo dating from the beginning of the last century of the Mamluk Turkish State. The research has shown that the poem commentated upon is Im¨¡mz¨¡da al-Bukh¨¡r¨©¡¯s (d.573/1177) £¿Uq¨±d al-£¿Aq¨¡£¿id f¨© Fun¨±n al-Faw¨¡£¿id, which consists of 770 couplets and is the lengthiest Arabic creed (£¿aq¨¡£¿id) poem in the £¿anaf¨©-M¨¡tur¨©d¨© tradition, and that the commentary entitled Shar£¿ al-Jaw¨¡hir al-Mu£¿¨©£¿a is written by an otherwise unknown £¿anaf¨© scholar A£¿mad b. Ma£¿m¨±d b. Sulaym¨¡n al-£¿alab¨© (9th/15th century) in 823 (1420). Giving explicit first-hand information regarding circumstances of Nas¨©m¨©¡¯s (d.823/1420) death and being the first text to mention the Nas¨©miyya branch of the £¿ur¨±fism, the text has special importance. The commentary has been edited as part of a Master¡¯s thesis, however, without taking into account the scientific methods of critical edition, and as a result, both the poem and the commentary were attributed by the editor to other people than their true authors. In the first part of this study, I tell the story of how I have identified the authors of both the text and the commentary. Then, I analyze the commentary in terms of Kalam and the politics of the time. Finally, I discuss the ground of existence of the Nas¨©miyya movement in the Mamluk region and its reflection on the commentary
