Muharrem b. Muhammed ez-Zîlî es-Sivâsî's "Menâkıb-ı Ebû Hanife ve Sahibeyhi Ebû Yusûf ve Muhammed b. Hasan" (Introduction- review-text-facsimile)

Legends are works that contain the lives of saints, their extraordinary and moral values. These works, which were created by transferring the legends, which are oral folk works, into writing and bringing them together, are very important in terms of both the works of folklore and the characteristics of the language in which they were written. In the legends of the saints who are friends of Allah, which are based on beliefs and doctrines, events that require extraordinary realizations have a convincing quality. People who unconditionally believe in the miracles in these legends show respect and love to their saints after they die, as well as when they were alive. Because they believe that the saints miracles continue after they die. Therefore, the respect they show to the saints in reaching God and for the fulfillment of their wishes is also shown to their shrines. In the works that we translated, we have included the epigraphs including the miracles shown by the saint Abu Hanife. This study, which is the subject of our thesis, consists of four main chapters. In the introduction section, general information about the research has been given under the headings of "Subject, Purpose, Scope and Method" and the road map of the study has been drawn. In the first chapter, "The Concept of Sufism, The Concept of legends and Its Birth, The Concept of saints, The Concept of worship (Believe) and saints' worship (saint Believe), The Concept of Miracle, Motif and Miracle Motif" has been given information about the basic concept of the research. In the review section (the second, third and fourth chapters), the life of Muharrem b. Muhammed ez-Zîlî es-Sivâsî, our subject work Menâkıb-ı Ebû Hanife ve Sahibeyhi Ebû Yusûf ve Muhammed b. Hasan has been given detailed information by showing the examination, legends in the work and the identified miracle motifs. Subsequently, the transcript part was written in Arabic language and in Arabic alphabet which was translated into Turkish language. A facsimile of the original transcript of the study, which consists of 39 sheets, has been given so that it can be compared with the Turkish section we translated. In the conclusion part of the study, the manuscript with the fixture number "06 Mil Yz A 7911/1" (Menâkıb-ı Ebû Hanife ve Sahibeyhi Ebû Yusûf ve Muhammed b. Hasan) obtained from the Ankara National Manuscripts Library was translated by us from Arabic to Turkish within the framework of the Turkish language rules standards. We have published with examples the methods and stages of its translation and the elements of the "miracle motif" that constitute the main body of our work. Keywords: Legend, Mircale, Saint, Ebu Hanife, Menâkıb-ı Ebû Hanife ve Sahibeyhi Ebû Yusûf ve Muhammed b. Hasan
