Khuṭbas ( loosely “Literary Sermons or Orations”)

As in the Nahj al-balāgha  (Path of Eloquence) and and other writings ascribed to the first Shī`īte Imam `Alī (d. 40/661), khuṭbas formed an important vehicle for the revelations of the Bab from the earleist period. From late 1844  perhaps twenty substantial khuṭbas were written or delivered throughout the period surrounding the Bab's pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina and his return to Persia around mid. June (??) 1845. This is clear from the Kitab al-fihrist (Book of the Index) of the Bab which was written on 15th Jumada II 1261 AH or  June 21st 1845 CE and  various other early writings. First the twelve or so khuṭbas listed in the K. Fihrist in the order given in key mss. (see below) :

  • Kh-Bushire (1) = Khuṭba in Bushire No.1 Mss.  include  [1] INBMC 91: XXX-XXX; [2] Tehran, INBA 4011C, pp. 341-48; [3] Tehran, INBA 5006C, pp. 359-6.

  • Kh-Kanakan I  = 'Khuṭba revealed in Kanakān' : Mss. = [1] INBMC 91: XXX-XXX;  [2] Tehran, IΝΒΑ 4011C, pp. 351-58;  [3]  Tehran, INBA 5006C, pp. 355-59.
  • Kh-`Id al-Fitr = Khuṭba on the `Īd al-Fiṭr (= 1st Shawwal 1260 at end of Ramadan = 1st October 1844?). [1] INBMC 91: XXX-XXX ; [2] INBA 4014C, 359-96; [3] Tehran INBA 5006C 326-30. This khuṭba is apparently also known as Kh-Muscat or Khuṭba written in Masqat (see MacEoin, Sources, 187).
  • Kh-Jeddah = Khuṭba fi'l-Jidda ("Sermon nigh Jeddah") [1] Ms. in hand of Mulla Husayn (1a) INBMC 91:60-74 = [1b] Electronic transcript of ms.

  • Kh-Mecca (1)  =  `Sermon on the way to Mecca (1)’ Lost ?
  • Kh-Mecca (2)  = `Sermon on the way to Mecca (2) Lost ?
  • Kh-Mecca (3) = `Sermon on the way to Mecca (3) Lost?
  • Kh-Mullā Ḥusayn = Khuṭba for Mullā Ḥusayn written on board ship or in Jidda at the time of the embarkation from it'. [1] INBMC 91: XXX-XXX; [2] Tehran, IΝΒΑ 4011C, pp. 348-51 2; [3] Tehran, IΝΒΑ 5006C, pp. 339-40.
  • Kh. Ḥuruf  = Khuṭba on `ilm al-ḥurūf (“The Oration of the Science of the Letters”).  [1] INBA 91: 30-36; [2] INBA 5006C, pp. 315-17; [3] INBA 6004C: 209-213;  [4] Tehran, INBMC 67, pp. 228-33. For a trans. of ms. [1] above see Lambden Haykal Webpage.

 Further Miscellaneous Khuṭbas of the Bāb

 Twelve Khuṭbas of the Bāb are listed as stolen on 11 Safar 1262 = 19th February 1845 in the Kh-Jeddah of the Bāb. Evidently some of these khuṭbas are not listed in the K-Fihrist which dates to 15th Jumāda II 1261 = June 21st 1845, four months or so after the theft.

  •  Kh. Dhikriyya = Khuṭba al-Dhikriyya (“Sermon of the [personified] Dhikr or Remembrance”) a section or component of the Ṣaḥīfa al-Radāwiyya ("The Favored [Riḍā'id] Treatise"), written in the middle of the first month of the Islamic year 1262/ 1846, on the 15th Muḥarram 1262 AH or the 13th January 1846 CE.  Ṣaḥīfa al-Radāwiyya or (loosely) "The [eighth Imam] Riḍā'id Treatise". Partial citation of the Arabic text in Afnan, `Ahd-i a`lā,  2000 pp. 472-3 fn. 2 (cf. page 445). This work is organized according to fourteen khuṭbas of which the Imamological Kh-Dhikriyya is No. 6 (of 14).  For some notes and a partial translation see Stephen Lambden Haykal Webpage.  http://www.hurqalya.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/03-THE%20BAB/Khutba%20al-Dhikriyya.htm

 Khasa'il-i sab`a (The Seven Directives).

  • Khasa’il-S = (Ar.) al-Shi’ār al-sab`a or (Per.) [Risāla-yi] Khaṣā’il-i sab`a or (Ar.) al-Khaṣā’il al-sab`a. Arabic text cited in a letter of Mullā `Abd al-Karīm Qazvīnī (d. 1268/1851-2) to the eldest or greatest uncle of the Bāb, the Khāl-i A`zam, Ḥajjī Mīrzā Sayyid `Alī (see Ahd-i a`lā, 99). A recension of the origina text is cited in facsimilie in Afnān `Ahd-i a`lā, 99 and typed and summarized by Afnan in ibid, 100. The common Persian title Khaṣā'il-i  sab`a roughly corresponds to the `title’ more given in the singular in the Arabic original, namely al-Shi’ār al-sab`a (`the Seven Customs, Practices’) or (pl.) Lawḥ-i  sha`ā’ir al-sab`a in Persian trans. Risāla-yi / Lawḥ-i / Khaṣā'il-i  sab`a.

Refernces in this work : After the sūrah number the verse number or ms. page number is written after a colon. e.g. QA 1: 3 = surah 1 line or page 3. Verse numbers will also be indicated on the basis of the Bab's statements that each Sūrah of the QA has forty-two verses though this numbering is often difficult to be certain about.
