Özet:

Sunans have very crucial place ın hadith literature. Sunans are considered the first emerged form of hadith literature. Sunans are mainly hadith compilations which are formed depending on Islamic law and fiqh subjects. It seems that the first example of sunan is a book called Kitâbu’s-Sünen fi’l-Fıkh by Makhûl ad-Dımashqî who was one of the Tabi'in scholars. Like most of the literary works of that period, this book has not reached our time. It is known that many books have been published on this subject after this book. The most important compilation of Sunans are Ebû Dâvûd, Thirmidhi, Nesai and Ibn Mace's Sunans which have been known asSunan-Erbaa. İn the other hand Sunans developed according to the last hadith reporter (muntaha ravi). İn this article, will be discussed briefly on the concepts of Sunnah and Sunan, then briefly examined works which close to the form of Sunan works. Hereafter the emergence of Sunan form and with properties of such works will be made evaluation of content and presented Makhûl al-Dımashqî's Sunan which attempted to be rebuilt.
