The Encyclopedia of Ibn Al-Rayoundi

Author's name: Abdul Amir Al-Assamdar Publisher: Al-Takween for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2010 Literary classification: Literature and history Brief about the book: Abu Al-Hussein Al-Khayyat authored the book "Al-Intisar" to respond to Ahmed bin Yahya, known as Ibn Al-Riyundi, and he calls him Al-Rundi, and mistakenly known as Al-Rawandi. Both men were from the Mu'tazila: Mu'tazila of Baghdad first and foremost. Al-Khayyat lived in the second half of the third century, while Ibn Al-Riyundi's life extended according to the approach of the multitude of Mu'tazila Shiites in Baghdad, but Al-Khayyat adhered to the minority sect of the Baghdadi Sunnis, following the Basri method. From here, Al-Khayyat's strictness and fanaticism against Ibn Al-Riyundi stemmed because he wrote about "the scandal of the Mu'tazila," in which he exposed Abu Uthman Al-Jahiz, who authored a book on "the virtue of the Mu'tazila," as Jahiz was severe on the majority of the Mu'tazila Shiites of Baghdad, supporting the Basri Mu'tazila, as is well known. Strangely, many of our ancient historians lied, and some of them fabricated issues to align with their sectarian and religious ideological elements. The ideology of forgery and falsification was a clear and blind image in front of religious or sectarian fanaticism, aiming to create atmospheres where pure air could not circulate in any case. Some of them did not just lie about him and forge his words, but also misled their readers by spreading trivial myths (with foolish and absurd traits), intending to erase Ibn Al-Riyundi's rational personality and dress it in a foolish, insignificant guise with no value. These myths spread among people in Iraq and Iran, and to this day, they narrate stories closely related to comic characters in history like Bahloul and Juha, but they falsely attribute them to Ibn Al-Riyundi. The Ibn Al-Riyundi Encyclopedia consists of 5 volumes in a box: Volume 1: The history of Ibn Al-Riyundi, the atheist. Volume 2: Ibn Al-Riyundi in modern Arabic references – Part One.
