Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 46

Abstract

In our study, we have examined Ismail Sadik Kemal (one of the Ottoman Islamic scholars (d. 1310/1892) in the last period) as a muhaddith in the frame of 1011 hadiths in his Asâr-i Kemâl. In this book that is decorated with very respectful expressions for the Last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh.) from start to finish, the author has translated the hadiths were compiled from various Hadith sources into Ottoman Turkish in the form of poetry and generally in an understood stylistic and has contented sometimes with brief descriptions. Companion narrators of about 86% in 1011 hadiths in the book are not registered. This is a very high rate. And 136 rawis of narrative from the 44 different Companions in the remaining 14% of the parts are registered. It is interesting to note that the Companions of the hadiths are from the mukthirun (seven/eight companions of the Prophet who narrated more than one thousand hadiths) like Abu Hurayra, Anas b. Malik, Abdullah b. Umar, Aisha, Jabir b. Abdullah, Abu Said al-Khudri, Abdullah b. Mas’ud and Abdullah b. Abbas. The author stated that he has not write the isnads of the hadiths to not to be so long. As we have seen, although the hadiths compiled from the sahih/authentic hadith sources and easily applied are the majority, there are also quite questionable narratives in the hadiths. The author has not felt a necessity to make an assessment about them. According to us, the existence of too many hadiths such as 1000 number in the book made it difficult for both the reading and benefit of them
