Topic: Al Azif


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
 [No title]
Rub al Khali translates as "the EMPTY Quarter." In this case Empty refers to the VOID and is the same as AIN in the Cabbalistic traditions.
Al Azif is translated as "the book of the howling of the Jinn." This title is remarkably consistent with the meaning of "the Mad Poet" in Arabic (The One Possessed by Jinn and Whose Writings Are Inspired by the Jinn).
The Al Azif (the howling of the Jinn) is obviously related to Alazred's title: "The One Who is Possessed by Jinn and Whose Writings Are Inspired by Jinn." Al Azif being a book of poetry is consistent with the fact that almost all mystical or prophetic writings in Arabic are poems.

 Abdul Alhazred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 730, while still living in Damascus, Alhazred supposedly authored in Arabic a book of ultimate evil, al Azif, which would later become known as the Necronomicon.
There they found the unexplored desert area that the Necronomicon calls "Roba el Ehaliyeh" or "Roba el Khaliyeh" — perhaps a form of "Rabia al-Awliya" (which is not proper Arabic, but could be an allusion to the Sufi Saint Rabia, though this is only conjecture).
At the center of the area they discovered the Nameless City, a domain of Hastur.

 RealMagick Article: The Necronomicon by Michael Lewis
Those who believe say that this grimoire, originally named Al Azif, and written by Abdul Alhazred around 700 AD, contains the rituals that, if performed correctly, will open the gates between this world and another, more sinister world, allowing the demons that once ruled this world to return and re-establish their rule.
However, Abdul refused to perform the rituals and in Damascus, around 738 AD, he was set upon and eaten by this demon, causing the Al Azif to be lost from his guard.
Let loose upon the world, the Al Azif was translated into Greek by Theodorus Philetas of Constantinople, who named it the Necronomicon.

 The Spanish Translation of Al-Azif
In a letter to Clark Ashton Smith - 27 November 1927 - H.P. Lovecraft asserts that the last original of Al Azif in Arabic was lost before 1228: new evidence shows that it survived into the XVII Century, and suggest it may still be extant in Salamanca.
The Al Azif must have remained in Cordoba until the city was re-conquered by the Christians in 1236 and the library of the Mezquita taken by Alonso de Ojeda to Salamanca.
Secondly, the mention of Palau is enigmatic as this bibliographer does not seem to have ever catalogued the Al Azif or El Libro De Los Antiguos Demonios Escrito por el Arabe Abdul Hazred.

One speculation, that it indicates that the book was inspired by Alhazred hearing voices, certainly makes sense in the context of his status as a "mad poet" and Arab beliefs about such in the period in which he lived.
The text to which the note is appended runs as follows: The good Mussulmans fancied that they heard the sullen hum of those nocturnal insects which presage evil, and importuned Vathek to beware how he ventured his sacred person.
Beelzebub, or the Lord of Flies, was an Eastern appellative given to the Devil; and the nocturnal sound called by the Arabians azif was believed to be the howling of demons.

(We'll leave aside Dhu-, Sabt-, et al., for the moment) The author you saw was undoubtedly named Abu-l-Hariri (variant spelling: Abu'l-Hariri) or Abu-l-[something] al-Hariri.
As for whether the Mad Arab would be named Abu-l-Hazred, "father of Hazred," it's unlikely, since Hazred isn't an Arabic given name.
(Oh, and the apostrophe in Abu'l- represents the missing 'a' in al- (the definite article, "the"), not an omitted consonant, or one of the two consonants represented by curved quotes [hamza, a glottal stop, and 'ayn, a pharyngeal fricative, the first letter in 'Abd].

Sheikh Muhammad Al-Hanuti stated: "The Hadith referred to in saying that it is haram as narrated by al Bukhari is not fulfilling the requirements of the Sahih in al Bukhari's collection.
1) Al Bukhari in Hadith al Ma'azif himself narrated the Hadith to be of a broken chain of narrators in which there is a gap between al Bukhari and the second narrator, so he drops the first narrator in his chain.
Some scholars tried to connect the chain through other means like whan ibn Hajar did in his dissertation (connecting what is disconnected) in which he connected the Isnad of this Hadith.
