Hanefî Hadis Tahric Eseri Olarak el-Gâye ve Serucinin Hadisçiliği

<jats:p>al-Gāya as a Hanafi Work on Hadith Authentication and Serucis Approach to Hadith The book consists of an introduction, five chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter focuses on Serûcîs life, with particular emphasis on his training in hadith studies. Although Serûcî is not identified as an independent hadith scholar in classical biographical and historical sources, his method of drawing inferences from hadiths, his work on hadith takhrīj, and his evaluations of narrations demonstrate his engagement with the science of hadith. This raises the question of in which scholarly circles and through what educational process Serûcî might have acquired this body of hadith knowledge. The status of al-Hidāya, the source of al-Gāya, within the Hanafi school has been examined, particularly in the context of hadith authentication. In this context, the authority of al-Hidāya among the Hanafis and the content of the hadiths included in the work have been evaluated. In addition, the book brings together analyses of traditions and reports found in various places and examines them within a comprehensive framework. The aim is to provide a concrete analysis of Serûcîs approach to hadith in al-Gāya. To this end, the study first offers a general overview of the use of hadith in al-Gāya, followed by a more detailed examination of Serûcîs treatment of the hadith text and its isnad. Finally, Serûcîs approach to hadith scholarship and his understanding of takhrīj have been examined in comparison with various jurists and hadith scholars. To ensure the comparison is meaningful and illuminating, comparisons have been made both within the Hanafi tradition and outside of it, involving Serûcîs contemporaries as well as a later Hanafi hadith scholar. In this regard, the comparison is addressed on a multidimensional plane, encompassing both horizontal (among contemporaries) and vertical (precedent–successor) dimensions.
