| Summary: | The aim of the present article is to analyse the assimilation of a series of ancient Semitic cosmogonic ideas by Islam via Judaism and Christianity, especially through the Aramaic-Arabic influence of the Syriac and Christian Arabic authors. The study focuses on a defective Hadith transmitted by the Andalusī traditionalist 'Abd al-Malik ibn Ḥabīb (d. 852), which presents an old cosmogonic vision of the cosmos. The matn of this Hadith exhibits conceptions related to old Mesopotamian cosmogonies, and also to ancient Hebrew conceptions as they are narrated in the Bible, which were developed and explained by Syriac and Christian Arabic writers. |
