Özet:

Understanding the hadiths requires not only knowing the language well but also knowing the intention of the narrator, the environment and context in which the word is spoken. Furthermore, within a language, the presence of the words that have entirely disconnected from their real meaning due to the metaphoric and idiomatic use of them developed in time requires making more efforts to understand them. In this respect, the expression 'Aqrā-Ḥalqā' used by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for Ṣafiyya in the Farewell Sermon when he was leaving Mecca, is mostly attributed to inauspiciousness and thus, requires special investigation. Determination of the correct meaning and use of the expression will prevent any misunderstanding. However, only the literal equivalences of the expression have been used in its annotations and translations until now. By including the annotations and translations of the expression in dictionaries and Ġarību'l- Ḥadīth books, which were written with a more specific purpose, this study aims to find the most suitable meaning by considering all these data and the data that are compatible with the sunnah.
