 Abstract In this article, the journey of knowledge that lasted for about ten years based on the own narratives of Qadi Abu Bakr Muhammad b Abdallâh b. Muhammad al-Maâfirî, Ibn al-Arabi who was a mufassir and a fakîh, who was born in 4681076 in al-AndalusIsbiliye-Seville and died in 5431148, is discussed. It is possible to classify Ibn al-Arabis scientific journey, which starts from the city of Isbiliye in Andalus and extends to many science centers in the East, as the period from Andalus to Egypt, as well as the period of Jerusalem, Damascus, Hijâz and Baghdad. During his education, Ibn al-Arabi not only took lessons from many teachers in Jerusalem, Baghdad and as well as other science centers, but also traveled to many places, participated in scientific debates, and provided important information about the places he saw, lived and observed. Ibn al-Arabi, who personally included the scientific, social and political events of the period in which he lived during his scientific journey in his work called Tartib al-rohla li al-targhib fi al-millah , which unfortunately is not all in our hands, as well as in Ahkâm al-Qurân and some other of his works. Therefore, it is historically extremely important for an Andalusian scholar to give information about the places he visited on his journey of thousands of kilometers and to tell about his journey, which took a long time, from his departure from his hometown until his return. Ibn al-Arabi, who also served as a qadi in his country for a while, is a very important scholar who wrote many works on different subjects apart from tafsir such as ulûm al-Qurân, hadith, fiqh, fiqh method, kalam, grammar and morality.

 ÖZ Bu makalede, Endülüsİşbîliye-Sevillada 4681076 yılında doğan ve 5431148 yılında vefat eden müfessir, fakih, Kâdı Ebû Bekir Muhammed b. Abdillâh b. Muhammed el-Meâfirî İbnül-Arabînin kendi anlatımları esas alınarak yaklaşık on yıl süren ilim yolculuğuna yer verilmiştir. İbnül-Arabînin Endülüsün İşbiliye şehrinden başlayan ve Doğuda pek çok ilim merkezine uzanan ilim yolculuğunu Endülüsten Mısıra kadar olan devre yanında Kudüs, Dımaşk, Hicaz ve Bağdat devresi olarak bir sınıflandırmaya tabi tutmak mümkündür. İbnül-Arabî eğitim hayatı boyunca başta Kudüs olmak üzere Bağdat ve diğer iilim merkezlerindeki pek çok hocadan ders aldığı gibi, pek yer gezmiş, ilmi münazaralara katılmış, gördüğü yerler, yaşadıkları ve yaptığı gözlemler hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmuştur. Yaşadığı dönemin ilmî, ictimâî ve siyâsî olaylarına bizzat yer veren İbnül-Arabî, ilim yolculuğuna, maalesef hepsi elimizde olmayan Tertîbür-rihle lit-terğîbi fil-mille adlı eserinde yer verdiği gibi Âhkâmül-Kurân ve diğer bazı çalışmalarında da zaman zaman yer vermektedir. Dolayısıyla Endülüslü bir âlimin binlerce kilometrelik yolculuğunda uğradığı yerler hakkında bilgiler vermesi ayrıca uzun bir zaman alacak olan yolculuğunu memleketinden çıkışından dönüşüne kadar anlatması tarihe kayıt düşmek açısından son derece önem arz etmektedir. Memleketinde bir ara kâdılık görevi de yapan İbnül-Arabî, tefsir dışında ulûmul-Kurân, hadîs, fıkıh, fıkıh usûlü, kelâm, gramer, ahlak gibi farklı konularda pek çok eser telif eden ansiklopedik bir şahsiyet olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
