Selections from the Book of Fools and Idiots News
The book "News of Fools and Fools" is one of the most prominent works of the famous Imam, jurist and historian Jamal al-Din Abu al-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzi. It gained wide fame for its exceptionally funny and humorous style that combines accuracy of observation and subtlety of expression. The book deals with the topic of foolishness in its comprehensive sense. It defines it and enumerates the characteristics and names of fools, reviewing real-life examples and actions that indicate the humor of the situation and the depth of the idea. The book extends to include talk about foolish hadith narrators and readers, using an elegant literary style characterized by smoothness and sweetness, which makes the reader live with the stories as if they were being narrated directly in front of him. The work is full of rare expressions that give the text a distinctive spirit that combines humor and lesson. Ibn al-Jawzi, known for the sobriety of his language and the eloquence of his style, was a writer and an articulate orator, and his works were not devoid of touches of asceticism and wisdom that he acquired from a life full of contemplation and isolation. This book represents a unique facet of the personality of Ibn al-Jawzi, the sheikh of jurisprudence and preaching, whose writings enriched the Islamic library with a mixture of wit and seriousness, to remain an immortal name in the memory of history and Islamic literature. These selections are a window into the spirit of the era and the genius of a writer who lived his life between seriousness and wit, to leave an indelible impact.
