There is also the treatisc of Abu 'Ubaicah Muslim on zakat and K. Dhikr masa'il al-haidh wa talkhisiha. The author of the latter work is not known, but it appears that it was composed at a later period than the previous works.

Apart from this last book, all the material included in this large book is reported from early Ibadhi authoricies and covers all legal and religious problems which occurred during the first rwo centuries of Islam. The book also contained the current narrations on different subjects from Kufan and Medinise authoricies, all examined and criticised by Ibadhi scholars of Basrah. A great deal of the material of these works is reported from the same authorities from which Abu Ghanim al-Khurasani recorcded his Mucaw wanah, a fact which supports che yiew that the present work discussed here was also recorded bv Abu Ghanim. The final conclusion on this matter needs further evidence. The discovery of a good complete Ms. of this work would be of great help in this respect.

The book is concemed witch the subject of mariage, divorce, and the legal
