Özet:

In the classical Islamic law and theory literature, the Banū Qurayẓa hadith is presented as evidence for the acceptability of the literalist understanding. According to the narration, before the Banū Qurayẓa Siege, The Prophet ordered his companions to pray the ‘aṣr prayer in the Banū Qurayẓa land. While some of the companions were praying on the way and on time, the others prayed when they reached Banu Qurayza, although the time had passed. At the end of the same day, when the event was told to him, The Prophet did not condemn these two different ijtihads. The aim of this study is to reveal that the group of Companions who prayed ‘aṣr prayer in Banū Qurayza after its time had passed may have pursued some goals in this ijtihad, and it is not correct to accuse them of literalism. The study is significant in terms of ending the acceptance of this hadith as a confirmation of pure literalism and contributing to the correct understanding of religious legal texts, and presents an important thesis about a problem that remains current in every age. For this purpose, all the sources of the first period in which the event is mentioned were examined, and the meanings and indications of the Banū Qurayẓa hadith and the scholars' interpretations of it were analyzed within the framework of literal and teleological methods. In the study, it was methodologically proven that the Prophet's taqrīr (His silence) could not be understood as approval of pure literalism.
