Abstract:

We don’t unfortunately have information about the birth and education of Jamal al-Din Aksarayī who lived in the XV century in the Ottoman State. However, the works shows that he was a very knowledgeable person. Al Aksarayi, who worked as a mudarris in Zinciriyye Madrasah, was capable of hadith, interpretation, jurisprudence, Arabic language and medicine. He has some works as: Risâle fî Hadiths “Innallāha Taālā khalaka âdama alā suretihi”, Risāletu’r-Rahīmiyye, Sharh Forty Hadīths, Forthy Hadīth. Aksarayi’s work titled Forty Hadīth and interpreted by him with a mystical method and currently located as a manuscript in libraries will be studied in this article. And we will try to demonstrate his scientific personality by showing the sources of hadiths which he used and examining his method.
