Muhammed Hamidullah ve çağdaş hadis araştırmalarındaki yeri
Özet
Muhammad Hamidullah is one of the most important Muslim scholars of XX. century. Because of his scholarly attitude, he is neither classic nor modern. On the contrary he has got a synthesist personality. So he is an original scholar. He has got lots of books and articles. However some people critisized him seriously in his time, he has been so effective about Islamic studies. In brief his biography and his scholarly personality must be studied in an academic work.So the first section of our thesis is deal with Hamidullah?s biography, his scholarly attitude and his works. The second section is about his understanding of the Prophet and hadith and his position in modern hadith studies. According to him there is a similarity between hadith and history. He applies historical critique method to the hadiths. He divides hadiths into two groups: 1- formal and informal documants, 2- companions? narrations about Prophet?s sayings and deeds. In particular, he considers history of hadith (especially writing and compilation of hadith). He tries to reach the oldest collections, documants, etc. Because he wants to disprove arguments of orientalists absolutely. Therefore his books `Al-Watha?iq al-Siyasiyyah? and `Sahifah Hammam Ibn Munabbih by Hammam Ibn Munabbih? are important. Because of all these reasons Hamidullah?s biography, his hadith view and works must be considered.
