Abstract

Al-Mada'ini's method in his book "Futouh Khorasan"

The book "Futouh Khorasan" for the great historian Ali bin Mohammed bin Abi Saif Al-Mada'ini (died 225AH/840AD) is regarded as one of the oldest books of conquers (Futouh) in Arabic, and the most important document talks about the history of Muslims at that early period. Despite the importance of its history in view that it is interested in military, administrative and political conditions, yet the book is one of the missing books from our lost heritage, and some of its texts remained within the folds of the late historical sources. We will study in this research the book "Futouh Khorasan" in terms of Al-Mada'ini's methodology in it as well as his style and his most important resources he relied on in his book. We divided this research into three sections, the first section dealt with Al-Mada'ini's method in his book "Futouh Khorasan", while the second section addressed the content of the book and the last section discussed the status of the book "Futouh Khorasan" among the books of conquers "Fotouh".
