Özet:

Much has been written on religion in the Turkish-Islamic literature. Tawhid, mi’rajiyyah, siyar, mawlid, forty-hadith translations and commentaries come on top of such works in terms of their distinctive contents compared to other literary works. These works that are written in prosaic, prosaicpoetic or only in poetic style comprise not only beliefs and worship rules but also some knowledge on etiquette and social life. And doubtlessly the primary kinds of these works that have been written within the context of the Prophet Muhammad’s prescript and deceleration and within prosaic style are: “one hadith, forty hadiths, one hundred hadiths and one thousand hadiths”. We gave some information on forty-hadith and other types of religious literary works. We lay emphasis on the literal and terminological meanings of hadith. After classifying the texts related to the type of poetic forty hadith, we made a short analysis of these texts. We will evaluate the place of this work called “al-Ahadith al-Arbain” whose writer and century are not identified and then we will deal with its translation. There are 39 hadiths in the work. The poet give place fi rst to the Arabic short hadiths and then translate them into Turkish within stanza-poetic style and aruz prosody.
