The method of evaluating the ahkam hadits in Zaidi scholar Müeyyed-Billâh Hârûni's Work named Şerhu't-Tecrid

This thesis examines the work titled "Sharh al-Tajrid" by the Zaydi hadith scholar and jurist Ahmad ibn Husayn (d. 411/1021), who lived at the end of the 4th/10th century and the beginning of the 5th/11th century. The focus is on the methodology employed in analyzing hadiths related to legal rulings within this work. The main objective of this study is to reveal the types of analyses Zaydi jurists applied to legal hadiths and the solutions they proposed to the problems of understanding these hadiths. To this end, the study evaluates how Al-Mu'ayyad Billah Ahmad ibn Husayn, in his "Sharh al-Tajrid," addressed and resolved these issues. Additionally, this study follows a methodology that maintains the integrity of the author and his work. Within this framework, an analytical method believed to contribute to the understanding of legal hadiths has been employed. Inductive reasoning has been used to reach conclusions based on the examples provided by the hadith analyses found in "Sharh al-Tajrid." We observed that in the analysis of legal hadiths in "Sharh al-Tajrid," the work considers both the chain of transmission (isnad) and the text (matn) together. In this regard, Al-Mu'ayyad, known in his time for integrating Sunni narrations with Zaydi sources, conducts his analyses with both narrative and critical integrity. We noted that he approaches narrations from a holistic perspective. Consequently, we concluded that Al-Mu'ayyad examines narrations from the perspectives of a transmitter (rawi), a hadith scholar (muhaddith), and a jurist (faqih) Keywords: Hadith, Zaydiyya, Ahmed b.
