Muellefe-i Kulûb in the time of Muhammed

In the battle of Hunayn, which occured during the period of Prophet Muhammad, substantial amount of booty was captured. Some part of the respective booty was given out to some people by Prophet Muhammad. Our research regarding those people called Muellefe-i Kulûb aims to identify them, and determine their impacts as a social class in the period of Prophet Muhammad. In this context we deal with their political and social structual in the Meccanian society to set why prophet Muhammed gove them from the Hunayn booty.In our research, the primary sources are history, sirah, and tabakat textbooks. In addition to those, some works of hadith and ansab types were employed.As a result of our research, it has been ascertained that there are insufficient and inconsistent information at the point of identifying those people. Furthermore, it has been found out that there exists other people except Meccans who newly became Muslim among the people to whom Prophet gave out the booty in Ci`rane in order to open their hearts to Islam. In this sense, it is revealed that the booty was given not only to the tribe of Quaraysh, but also to other tribes and there exists people who became Muslim by coming to Medina before the conquest of Mecca. Also, we have tried to determine the reasons of why Prophet Muhammad gave the booty to Muellefe-i Kulûb by examining the social lives of those people as a whole. In addition this, they given the booty were been respected people in Mecca society.
