Hud ibn Muhakkam al-Hawwari, Arabic: هود بن محكم الهواري (d. second half of the ninth-century), was an Ibadi Quran exegete from North Africa.
Little is known about his life. It is believed that he was a Berber from the Hawwara tribe [1] and that he lived in the region of the Aurès Mountains in modern day Algeria. [2] His father held the office of Qadi under the rule of Aflaḥ ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (823–871), a ruler of the Rustamid Empire (778–909). [3] His commentary on the Quran was first published in four volumes in 1990, based on five Ibadi manuscripts. [4] The editor of this edition, Belhagg Sa'id Sharifi, an Ibadi from Algeria, wrote in the introduction to the work that al-Hawwari did not write his own original commentary, but based his work on a known tafsir in North African, especially in Kairouan, by Yaḥya ibn Sallam al-Basri (d. 815). [5] Al-Hawwari created an abridged version without citing the original author. [6] In one manuscript, a marginal note states that the work is only attributed to al-Hawwari (muḍaf ila). [7]
The Ibadi historian Ibn Sallam (d. 887) [8] in his Badʾ al-islam wa-shari'aʿ ad-din /بدء الإسلام وشرائع الدين (The Beginning of Islam and the Laws of Religion) [9] dedicated a chapter to fellow Ibadis, including members of the Hawwara tribe, who settled in Kairouan and took part in the city's scholarly life. [10] These contacts may have enabled Ibadis to access the Quran commentary by Yaḥya ibn Sallam al-Baṣri, which was well known in the city. [11]
Al-Hawwari quotes the exegesis of the Quran by Yahya ibn Sallam al-Basri throughout, thus providing access to this work, which is only available in fragments and partial editions. [12]
