Abstract

The history of Islam faced with the intellectual and theological debates in the first century and its result was the emergence of the sects such as Azareqah. Azareqah, one of the Khawarij groups, is of particular importance due to its large number of followers, the scope of their activities, and their difference of thoughts. Taking advantage of the materials collected from the library research as well as the primary sources, this research seeks to answer the question on what was the foundation of este'raz, killing people without sufficient investigation, in Azareqe’s view and how it was practically manifested. The studies revealed that when Nafe' ibn Azraq (65 A. H), one of the jurists and elders of the Khawarij, compiled and propagated the decrees of Killing people, some of his followers considered these rules to be extreme and  separated their path from him. Accordingly, Khawarij carried out widespread massacres and numerous lootings in various cities, and this events led to their confrontation with Mohallab ibn Abi Safra, the elected commander of Umayyads.

تحلیل الاستعراض فی فکر وممارسة الأزارقة

Abstract [العربیة]

واجه تاریخ الإسلام فی القرن الأول نفسه نقاشات فکریة وعقائدیة. وکانت النتیجة ظهور فِرَقٍ مثل الأزارقة. وللأزارقة، باعتبارها إحدى فِرَق الخوارج، أهمیة خاصة نظراً لکثرة الأتباع، ومجال الأنشطة، واختلاف الأفکار. یحاول هذا البحث من خلال جمع مواضیع من النوع المکتبی والمنهج الوصفی والتحلیلی والاعتماد على مصادر مباشرة الإجابة على هذا السؤال: ما هی الحجج التی قامت على أسس الاستعراض (بمعنی قتل الناس دون دراسة کافیة) فی فکر الأزارقة وکیف تجلى ذلک فی مجال الممارسة؟
ومن خلال الدراسات التی أجریت فی هذا البحث، تبین أنه مع تجمیع وتبلیغ أحکام الاستعراض من قبل نافع بن الأزرق (65هـ) من فقهاء ومشایخ الخوارج، انشق بعض أتباعه من خلال تسمیة هذه الأحکام بالغلو؛ لکن بناءً على هذا الأمر قام الأزارقة بالمجازر الواسعة والنهب الدائم فی المدن المختلفة، مما دفع "مهلب بن أبی صفرة" قائد الأمویین المنتخب إلى التصدی لهم.
