Abstract
Background and Aim: The scientific works inherited from this scholar are evidence of his expertise in literature, history, medicine, and medicine-related fields such as pharmacology. Orayb ibn Sa'ad Qortobi is one of the prominent figures in the realm of medicine who conducted scientific research in the golden age of the history and culture of Andalusian civilization (Spain) during the rule of the Andalusian Caliphs (Abdul Rahman al-Nasser and al-Hakam al-Mustasnar). Much of Orayb’s fame is in history known as "Seleh al-Tabari Tarikh. He was an expert in in literature, history, astronomy and science of medicine and its related branches such as pharmacology. In this paper we want to research his role in medicine and his book “ Khalq al-Janin wa Tadbir al-Habali wa Al-Moloudin” is introduced.
Materials and Methods: This research has been written With the help of the library method.
Findings: With Orayb rising to stardom in the medical science, Khalifa al- Hakam requested him to produce a work. In the medical schools of Muslims in the early centuries, gynecology, obstetrics and pediatrics constituted a unified domain due to the integrity and linkage of contents. In his manuscript Khalq al-Janin, Orayb has not distinguished gynecological, obstetric, and pediatric diseases. "Khalq al-Janin wa Tadbir al-Habali wa Al-Moloudin", has 15 chapters ashygiene, health and nutrition of pregnant women and infants as well as pediatrics and the prevention and treatment of diseases in mothers and infants. He therefore authored a treatise on Midwifery, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics.
Ethical Considerations: Honesty and fidelity were observed in the analysis, reporting and publication of materials.
Conclusion: This treatise is one of the seminal medical works of Orayb, which according to some scholars, is the first book to scientifically discuss all matters and subjects relating to embryology, childbirth, requirements of pregnancy, infants and children, child nutrition, health and treatment of pediatric diseases.This paper aims to look into the scientific life and achievements of Orayb ibn Sa'ad and to explore some of his works in this field. In the medical history of Iran and Islam, there are a number of physicians, some of whom are not adequately known.
