فرائض الوليد للضعفاء

فرائض الوليد للضعفاء

c. 705 CE · 86 AH

Though al-Walid was a tyrant, his reign sustained jihad and great conquests — and he had orphans circumcised with tutors appointed for them, attendants assigned to the chronically infirm, guides assigned to the blind; he granted stipends to the jurists, the poor and the weak sufficient for them, forbidding them to beg from people 1.

يذكر السيوطي أن الوليد بن عبد الملك أقام الجهاد في أيامه وفُتحت في خلافته فتوحات عظيمة. ويصفه بأنه كان جباراً ظالماً، وهذا حكم السيوطي لا حكم المتحف. 2

ما فرضه للضعفاء

  • كان يختن الأيتام ويرتب لهم المؤدبين.
  • رتب للزمنى من يخدمهم، وللأضراء من يقودهم.
  • رزق الفقهاء والفقراء والضعفاء، وحرم عليهم سؤال الناس، وفرض لهم ما يكفيهم. 2

التاريخ في خلافته (86-96هـ)، والتحويل مشتق.

The Sibayn Reclamation and Maslama's Estates

In al-Baladhuri: when breaches burst in al-Hajjaj's days he wrote al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik that he had costed their damming at three million dirhams; al-Walid found it excessive. Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik said 'I will pay, if you grant me the lowlands that still hold water after the three million is spent by your trusted adviser al-Hajjaj.' Granted, Maslama acquired adjoining tasasij lands, dug al-Sibayn, drew peasants and cultivators, brought the lands under tillage and annexed many estates to fortify himself. When the blessed dawla came and Umayyad wealth was seized, all al-Sibayn was granted to Dawud ibn Ali ibn Abdallah ibn al-Abbas, then bought from his heirs with its rights and bounds — becoming caliphal estates.
