In Ibadi Texts from the 2nd/8th Century Abdulrahman Al-Salimi and
Wilferd Madelung present an edition of fourteen Ibadi religious
texts and explain their contents and extraordinary source value for
the early history of Islam. The Ibadis constitutes the moderate
wing of the Kharijite opposition movement to the Umayyad and
'Abbasid caliphates. The texts edited are mostly polemical letters
to opponents or exhortatory to followers by 'Abd Allah b. Ibad ,
Abu l-'Ubayda Muslim b. Abi Karima and other Ibadi leaders in
Basra, Oman and Hadramawt. An epistle detailing the offences of the
caliph 'Uthman is by the early Kufan historiographer al-Haytham b.
'Adi. By their early date and independence of the mainstream
historical tradition these txts offer the modern historian of Islam
an invaluable complement to the well-known literary sources.
