Hayâtı
[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir]Tus, İran'da eğitimini aldıktan sonra Kûfe'ye göç etti. Câbir bin Hayyân bilinen ilk pratik Simya (Alşimi) âlimdir.[6] Orta Çağ Avrupası'nın Simya alanına büyük ölçüde etki etmiş ve Kimya'nın da esasını oluşturmuştur. İmâm Câʿfer-i Sâdık'ın öğrencisidir.
İcatları
[değiştir | kaynağı değiştir]Kimyager ve Eczacı olan bir babanın oğlu olarak Câbir, Horasan'da doğmuş ve Yemen'de okuduktan sonra Kufe'ye giderek Abbâsî halifesi Harun Reşid'e saray âlimi olarak hizmet etmiştir.
Kimya dışında Eczacılık, Metalürji, Astroloji, Felsefe, Fizik ve Müzik gibi geniş alanda 400' ü aşan eser bıraktığı söylense de ancak 20 civarında eseri bugüne kalmıştır.
Nitrik asit, hidrojen klorür ve sülfürik asit'in rafine ve kristalize yöntemlerini bulduğu Kral suyu'nu icat ettiği ve dietil eter, sitrik asit, asetik asit ve tartarik asiti keşfetiği düşünülmektedir. "İmbik" (الأنبيق al-inbiq) geliştirmiş ve kendisinin ortaya attığı baz kavramıyla Kimya'nın gelişmesine katkıda bulunmuştur.
Ayrıca daha sonra zehirli olan arsenik tozunu elde eden ilk kişidir.
Agathondaemon, Hermes Trismegistus, Pisagor ve Sokrates'i saydığı ve Eski Yunan, Eski Mısır ve Şia Sufizminden etkilendiği düşünülmektedir.
Eserlerinden 12. yüzyılda Latinceye çevrilmiş olan Kitab al-Kimya adlı eseri, "Simya/Alşimi" ve "Kimya" kelimelerinin kökeni olmuştur.
Canlıların kendiliğinden oluşumu ve suni yolla canlı üretme" fikrini savunmaktaydı. Cabir'e göre Allah ilk önce dört unsuru yani hava, su, ateş ve toprağı yarattı, sonra da onlardan maden, bitki, hayvan ve insan varlıklarının oluşumunu ve üremesini "irade" etti. Temelde ilahi yaratma fikrini kabul eden Câbir, bazı bitki ve hayvan türlerinin, hatta ilk insanın, kendiliğinden vücut bulduğunu kabul etmekten öte, minerallerin, bitkilerin, hayvanların ve insanların suni olarak laboratuvarda üretilebileceğini bile iddia etmektedir. Câbir, kendiliğinden oluşu tevlid ve tevellud, suni oluşumu tevalud ve tekvin, ilahî yaratma fikrini de kevn ve halk terimleriyle açıklamaktaydı.[7]

As for Djābir's historic personality, Holmyard has suggested that his father was "a certain Azdī called Hayyan, druggist of Kufa... mentioned... in connection with the political machinations that were used by many people, in the eighth century, finally resulted in the overthrow of the Umayyad dynasty.
- ^ Holmyard, Eric John, "Introduction" to The Works of Geber, translated by Richard Russell (London: Dent, 1928), p. vii: "Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan, generally known merely as Jabir, was the son of a druggist belonging to the famous South Arabian tribe of Al-Azd. Members of this tribe had settled at the town of Kufa, in Iraq, shortly after the Muhammadan conquest in the seventh century A.D., and it was in Kufa that Hayyan the druggist lived."
