| Summary: | Edition and study of P.Vindob. A.Ch. 36616, a literary paper fragment from 3 rd /9 th -century Egypt. The fragment contains a tradition that depicts ʿ Alī b. Abī Ṭālib (d. 40/661) performing a four- rak ʿ a prayer and reciting a special supplication on the 15 th of the month of Rajab. The tradition is only known from noncanonical Shīʿī ḥadīth collections. Situating it in a broader historical context, the paper provides a glimpse on the Shīʿī presence in Egypt as well as the sanctity of the month of Rajab in Sunnī and Shīʿī literatures. This tradition, in conclusion, presents an early evidence for the observances of the month of Rajab in general and the middle of the month in particular in the local Shīʿī community in pre-Fatimid Egypt. |
