註釋

The early Islamic qaṣṣ was a person of diverse interests, engaging in religious education on myriad topics, encouraging soldiers in battle and promoting religio-political causes. A large percentage of the quṣṣaṣ excelled in a number of the religious and didactic disciplines of the community. However, while the qaṣṣ was expected to be knowledgeable and a competent speaker, he was maligned in many traditions for introducing destructive innovations into the community. In spite of these traditions, the quṣṣaṣ appear to have been part of the scholarly landscape of the community since the earliest decades of Islamic history and may have even existed from the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The quṣṣaṣ continued to play an active role in both the religious and political environment of the community during the Rashidun period and throughout the Umayyad period.
