Özet:

There have been hundreds of poetic or prosaic works in the Turkish Islamic Literature in the style of esmâ-i nebî, hundreds of hadiths and shaphatname because of the love of the Prophet from past to now. Based on this hadith "Whoever memorizes forty hadiths on religious affairs in my Ummah, may Allah put him in the group of scholars", from XIV. Century to now forty hadiths works have been compiled. Two of the procurators of such works in the field of Islamic literature are Imam Nevevi (de.1277) who has works in Arabic literature and is accepted as the pioneer of the writing of prosaic forty hadiths, and the other is Câmî (de.1492) who has works in the Persian literature and is accepted as the pioneer of the writing of poetic forty hadiths. Most of the forty hadith works in the field of Turkish Islamic Literature have been made under the influence of these two works regarding hadith compiling and textualization. Doubtless the main point of these works either translation or copyright or exegesis is to facilitate those wishing to learn Islam with the hadiths of the Prophet which are among the prominent sources of the religion and thus making available to learn their religion better. Scholars and poets in the field of Turkish Islamic Literature have written hadiths within the limits of language -with either poetic or prosaic way- by compiling them due to many reasons. And so they have contributed to a tradition continuing for centuries. In this study we try to determine the place of Vahdetî’s forty hadiths work in the history of Turkish Islamic Literature. First, we give place to the original Arabic texts of hadiths and the modern Turkish translation of them and then the poetic translation of the work in stanza style.
