Edition, translation and study of an booklet dedicated to supplications to God, dated dated 267/880-881.This manuscript sheds light on the way traditional sciences were taught in Medieval Egypt, on little known circles of transmitters, and on the religious policy of the Tulunids. In Supplier Dieu dans l’Égypte Toulounide , Mathieu Tillier and Naïm 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 Khālid ibn Yazīd, 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 Aḥmad ibn Ṭūlūn, 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.
