A study and examination of jullâbi's work of Kitabu's-salat (from the beginning to the chapter of masjid)

This thesis is on a book titled Kitâbü's-salât contained ablution and salat (prayer) subjects that has been written in furu (substantive) fiqh of Hanafi school by a non-famous Hanafi scholar named Ebû Muhammed Tâhir el-Cüllâbî, who has approximately died in 6th century of Hegira; 11th-12th century after Christ. Besides the ideas of Hanafi scholar, the author has also touched on the ideas of İmam Malik -the guide of Maliki school-, and the ideas of İmam al-Shafii -the guide of Shafii school-. On the other hand, the name of Kitâbüs'salât is mentioned in much than twenty books written on Hanafi fıqh, so Kitâbü's-salât is seems to be a major source for Hanafi scholars who come after el-Cüllâbî. But that is not the fact, because the mentioned book is now relatively a non-famous book in Hanafi school's literature. İn the study we have introduced Kitâbü's-salât and its author; we have also compared Kitâbü's-salât to Mukaddime fi's-salât of Semerkandî (d. 737/983) in order to understand the relationship between the two books. Subsequently we have compared four manuscript copies of Kitâbü's-salât to each other -it comprises only a part of the book- in order to reach the original form of Kitâbü's-salât. Key Words: Ebû Muhammed Tâhir, Cüllâbî, Kitâbü's-Salât, Salâtü'l-Cüllâbî
