The religious status of Prophet’s parents’ (abaway al-Rasūl) and their position in the hereafter, which is the subject of discussion in Islamic thought, was mentioned in al-Fiqh al-akbar by Abū Ḥanīfah (d. 150/767) as “the Prophet’s parents passed away on kufr” for the first time in Islamic literature. In the Ottoman times, separate treatises were written about the religious status of Prophet’s parents’and their position in the hereafter. In the Ottoman scholarly circles, this issue was discussed as a results of factors such as the writing of the commentaries on al-Fiqh al-akbar, the religious struggle against Shīʿah under the title of Rāfiżīs as a consequense of political circumstances of the period, the ever- growing Sufi inclinations in the public sphere and the influence of the idea of al-nūr al-Muḥammadī, that is a mainly Akbarian notion. The first of these treatises during the Ottoman times is the work of Ibn al-Khaṭīb al-Amāsī (d. 940/1534) called Inbāʾ al-iṣṭifāʾ fī ḥaqq ābāʾ al-Muṣṭafá. It is evident that the purpose of this treatise, in which Ibn al-Khaṭīb, who also adopted the idea of al-nūr al-Muḥammadī, argued the view that the Prophet’s parents are among the people of salvation (ahl al-najāh), is to prevent false thoughts about the Prophet. In his work, Ibn al-Khaṭīb elaborated his view based on the “noble lineage” of the Prophet and he provided answers to the objections and opposite views on this issue through verses, ḥadīths, and narrations. It is seen that his adherence to the idea of nūr-i Muḥammadī is reflected in his explanations and inferences. As it brought the issue on the Prophet’s parents to the Ottoman scientific circles, this treatise has a historical and contextual importance. The views and explanations of Ibn al-Khaṭīb in this treatise had significant effects in two ways as it became the basis for the debates and was widely criticized in the succeeding period.
