In Supplier Dieu dans l'Egypte toulounide, Mathieu Tillier and Naim Vanthieghem provide the edition, translation and study of a booklet preserved on papyrus and dated 267/880-881. It offers a selection of some forty hadiths heard by Khalid ibn Yazid, a minor local scholar, concerning the invocations that every pious Muslim has to use when addressing God. Composed during the reign of the famous governor Ahmad ibn Tulun, the first autonomous ruler of Islamic Egypt, this manuscript bears exceptional testimony to the way traditional sciences were taught at the time. Not only does it open an unprecedented window on the milieu of ordinary transmitters, whose names soon fell into oblivion, but it also sheds new light on the Tulunids' religious policy and on the islamisation of Egypt. Dans la seconde moitie du IIIe/IXe siecle, un savant repondant au nom de Halid b. Yazid enseigna une quarantaine de hadiths sur le theme des invocations que tout pieux musulman se devait d'adresser a Dieu. Un opuscule issu de son enseignement, portant la date de 267/880-881, a survecu sur papyrus. Mathieu Tillier et Naim Vanthieghem en proposent ici l'edition, la traduction et l'etude. Compose sous le regne du fameux gouverneur Ahmad b. Tulun, premier souverain autonome de l'Egypte islamique, ce manuscrit offre un temoignage exceptionnel sur la maniere dont les sciences traditionnelles etaient alors enseignees. Il ouvre non seulement une fenetre inedite sur le milieu des transmetteurs ordinaires, dont les noms tomberent rapidement dans l'oubli, mais vient aussi eclairer d'un nouveau jour la politique religieuse des Toulounides et la dynamique d'islamisation de l'Egypte.
