Rhetorical Analysis as a Method for the Understanding of the Hadith Matns: Its Promises and Limitations

Abstract

In this article the rhetoric has been studied from its origins as a Hellenistic device and than its developments in our time. After, its counterpart in the Islamic world that is al-balâgha has been researched in the context of the semantics and seen that al-balagha has similar dimensions with the Hellenistic rhetoric. These similarities include both several concepts and contents. Than by pointing out the activities for understanding of ahadith in the past, the promises of the rhetorical method have been scrutinised. For example because of lying particular stress of this method on the figures of thought, the species of the discources and the parts of a speech it seems to be useful for understanding of ahadith and determining their contexts. But due to the problem of belongness of ahadith for their origins and incompatability of the Hellenistic rhetoric with İslamic culture this method seems to be appropriate not for the whole hadith literature but just for suitable ones.
