188  Ibn Hazm, Milal., IV, 189.  The contacts between the Nukkar and the Umayyad dynasty in Spain started in the year 333 H. after Abu Yazid conquered Qairawan, (Ibn Idhari, Bayan., II, 212-13).  Later, in 381 H., the Nukkar of the Berber tribe of Zanatah were forced to cross over to Spain by their enemies the Sinhajah. Ibn Abi Amir welcomed the Nukkar and gave them shelter and straightened his army with their men.  (Ibn Idhari, Bayan., II, 293-94; Ibn Haiyan al-Qurtubi, al-Muqtabas fi akhbar al-Andalus., editor al-Hijji, Beirut, 1965, 191-194).

193  The view of the Nukkar presented here was collected from he following sources: Abu Amr Uthman b. Khalifah al-Sufi, Firaq., 53-56; Sualat., Ms. 41, 53, 164, 259, 232, 302; Abu Zakariya, Siyar., 15a ff.; Abu Ammar Abd al-Kafi, al-Mujaz., Ms. II, 79 ff; Shammakhi, Siyar, 146-154; Barun Al-Azhar al-riyadiyah., 99 ff.

206     The form of this name as shown in some old Mss. is Naflat;  the modern Ibadhi scholar Sulaiman al-Baruni used the same form in his work al-Azhar al-riyadiyah.  (pp. 195-210).  According to some old sources, his name is Faraj and he was given the title Naffath by Imam Aflah because he inspires people with evil ideas.  The form therefore should be Naffath from the word  نَفَثَ ( nafatha )

212     Baruni, Azhar., 204 – 205.  The correspondence of Aflah concerning Naffath is quoted on pp. 199 – 205.  The term Asaqifah, (sing. Usquff), expressing a certain rank among Christian monks, was used probably because it was still in use among the Berbers of Nufusah who professed Christianity before Islam

213     Suf, Firaq, 57

214     The rule in this case, as agreed upon among the Ibadhi scholars, is that brothers and sisters on the father’s side inherit where there are no full brothers or sisters to prevent them.  Sons and daughters of the full brothers do not inherit with the brothers and sisters on the father’s side. Cf. Al-Sufi, Mukhtasar al-faraid., 8; Jitali, Fara’id., Ms. 4b

215     For these views of Naffath, cf. Sufi, Firaq., 56-57; Abu Zakariya, op. Cit., 30a-b. Baghturi, Siyar., Ms. 97; Baruni, Azhar., 195-196
