Abu Dawud's approach to theological creed argument in particular to the Kitab al-Sunnah

In the history of Islam, the sedition events that started with the martyrdom of Osman caused for the first sectarianization in the Islam and caused the emergence of superstitious sects. Scholars belonging to the Ahl al-Hadith struggled against the superstitious thoughts created by the superstitious sects and wrote works in response to them. At this point, scholars have written works to reveal the correct form of belief in accordance with the Sunnah. One of these types of works written is Kitabü's-Sünne. In these works, the authors revealed the correct belief system that complies with the Sunnah and criticized wrong forms of belief. Abu Dawud, in his work called Kitab al-Sunnah, revealed the sound belief and criticized the views of heretical sects.
