One thought on “Mausuufat As-Sudan

  1. The Mausufat as-Sudan was actually originally produced in Fulfulde and Hausa by the daughter of the Shehu, Nana Asmau, may Allah be pleased with her. Shaykh Dan Tafa took her work Arabized it and added information which Nana Asmau left out. As Dr. Beverly Mack pointed out in many of her seminal works, this was the kind of scholarly collaboration which existed between the Fudiawa; where one of them would produce a work in ajami and another Arabize the work. This was one of those collaborative efforts between an aunt and her nephew which allowed the erudition and epistemology of the Fudiawa to persist.
