Veneración y polémica. Muhammad en la obra del Qadi 'Iyad

Abstract

Con cientos de manuscritos a sus espaldas y numerosas ediciones, el Kitāb aš-Šifā' ha sido clave para los musulmanes y su religiosidad desde que el cadí ‘Iyāḍ lo redactó en el siglo XII, convirtiéndose en una de las obras que más ha circulado y ha sido leída en el mundo islámico. Sin embargo, a pesar de este éxito, pocos han sido los trabajos que se han dedicado de forma particular al estudio de este tratado de veneración del profeta Muḥammad. Con el objetivo de rellenar esa laguna desde una de las perspectivas posibles, este estudio propone analizar cómo el autor de este tratado, desde su posición de cadí malikí vinculado a los almorávides, utilizó el carisma institucionalizado del Profeta del que como ulema se consideraba heredero, como herramienta de legitimación de su interpretación del islam, de su entendimiento de la ley religiosa y, en definitiva, de su concepción de la sociedad. Para ello, estableció un diálogo de controversia utilizando el capital simbólico del Profeta para crear unas fronteras del islam, reivindicando su superioridad frente a otras religiones, y para pugnar contra otros movimientos islámicos que también se consideraban herederos del legado de Muḥammad. De este modo, este trabajo aborda cuestiones como la producción intelectual islámica y su circulación, lectura y apropiación, la historia de la veneración del Profeta, la polémica inter e intrarreligiosa o el proceso de construcción de la ortodoxia.

With hundreds of manuscripts and numerous editions, the Kitāb al-Šifāʾ has been central to Muslim religiosity since it was composed by the qadi 'Iyad in the twelfth century, becoming one of the most widely circulated and read works in the Islamic world. Despite this remarkable success, relatively few studies have been devoted specifically to the analysis of this treatise on the veneration of the Prophet Muhammad. Seeking to address this gap from one particular perspective, this study examines how the author—writing as a Mālikī qāḍī associated with the Almoravids—mobilized the institutionalized charisma of the Prophet, whose legacy he regarded himself as inheriting as a member of the ʿulamāʾ, as a tool to legitimize his interpretation of Islam, his understanding of religious law, and, ultimately, his conception of society. To this end, he constructed a polemical discourse that deployed the Prophet’s symbolic capital to delineate the boundaries of Islam, assert its superiority over other religions, and contest rival Islamic movements that likewise claimed to embody Muḥammad’s legacy. In doing so, this article engages broader questions concerning Islamic intellectual production and its circulation, reception, and appropriation; the history of devotion to the Prophet; inter- and intra-religious polemics; and the formation of orthodoxy.
