Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 42
Abstract
This study deals with the biography of Abdulcelil b. Musa al-Kasri (d. 608/1211), a versatile scholar who lived in the VI./XII Century in Cordoba, and analyzes the method and structural properties of his work on muteshabih (allegorical) hadiths: Sherhumushkili’l-hadith. Abdulcelil al-Kasri is the traditionalist in addition to his sufi personality.Essentially it is reported in the literature that he joined a sufi order after collecting knowledge on religious sciences. His work, Sherhumushkili’l-hadith is one of the few works about understanding and interpreting of the muteshabih (allegorical) hadiths which has not been published. Therefore this study is based on a manuscript which can be found in the Suleymaniye Library. Sherhumushkili’l-hadith is about muteshabih (allegorical) hadiths which contains anthropomorphic attributions of Allah such as his hand, palm, fingers, hands, feet, face, laughing, talking, becoming happy and ill etc. In this book, fifty-seven ahadith are analyzed with original reviews. The general attitude of Abdulcelil al-Kasri in the face of these narrations is interpreting without simile (tashbih). In this work he also generally associates the allegorical statements in the hadithsto his actionsand attributions. It is observed that, in spite of his well-known sufi identity, Abdulcelil al-Kasri was distinguished with a hadith identity in Sherhumushkili’l-hadith. This book has an important place in its area with the original comments.
