İbn İshak’ın Sîre’si Özelinde Hz. Muhammed’in Risalet Öncesi Hayatı

Year 2021, Issue: 11 - Hz. Muhammed (sas) Özel Sayısı, 11 - 28, 28.12.2021

Abstract

İnsanlık tarihinin en etkin insanlarından biri olarak kabul edilen Hz. Muhammed, Kur’an’da Müslümanlar için ‘ideal örnek’ olarak gösterilmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak Müslümanlar da Hz. Muhammed’in yaşamını gelecek kuşaklara aktarmanın önemine inanmış ve bu bağlamda siyer veya meğazi olarak adlandırılan Hz. Muhammed’in yaşam öyküsünü içeren eserler oluşturmuşlardır.
Müslüman tarih yazıcılığının en eski formu olan haber/rivayet formunda oluşturulan siyer kitaplaarı arasında en erken döneme ait olan ve günümüze ulaşan İbn İshak’ın eserinin ciddi bir rakibinin olmadığı, kendinden önce ve çağdaşları tarafından yazılmış bütün çalışmaların şöhretini gölgede bıraktığı düşüncesi genel kabul görmektedir. Bu nedenle Hz. Muhammed'in hayatını İbn İshak'ın Sire’sinden tespit etmenin önemi yadsınamaz bir gerçekliktir. Bu düşüncenin ışığında makalemizin temel referansını İbn İshak'ın Sire’si oluşturacaktır. Amacımız, erken dönem siyer yazımını şekillendiren temel paradigmayı bugün elimizde olan en eski biyografi olarak İbn İshak’ın Siyer’inden hareketle irdelemek ve Hz. Muhammed'in peygamberlik öncesi yaşamıyla ilgili en erken rivayetleri tespit etmek olacaktır.

The Life of Muhammad Before Prophetic Call in the Sirah of Ibn Ishaq

Year 2021, Issue: 11 - Hz. Muhammed (sas) Özel Sayısı, 11 - 28, 28.12.2021

Abstract

The Prophet Muhammad, who is considered one of the most influential people in the history of humanity, is shown as an 'ideal example' for Muslims in the Qur'an. This notion has been created a historical consciousness about the importance of transferring the life of the Prophet to the next generations. Accordingly, Muslim historians had written books containing the biography of the Prophet which is called Sirah or Maghazî. In this context, it should be stated that the Sirah is the narrative biography of the Prophet Muhammad. Among the Sirah books, it is accepted that Ibn Ishaq’s Sirah of the Prophet had no serious rival and outshone the fame of all his predecessors and contemporaries by his work. For this reason, it is an undeniable fact that it is important to understand the life of the Prophet Muhammad from Ibn Ishaq’s Sirah. In the light of this thought, the main reference of our article will be this account.
The aim of this article is to examine the basic paradigm that shaped the Sirah writing with reference to Ibn Ishaq’s Sirah -which is the earliest biography of the Prophet that we have today- and to identify the earliest narrations about Muhammad’s pre-prophetic life in his Sirah.
