Hadiths; can be evaluated differently according to time, place, and people. It is clear that even the Prophet had differences in his expressions according to conditions and individuals. Apart from this, this time-dependent change caused the Prophet to make changes in his expressions even when he was still alive. These interpretive changes continued to increase in the generation of Companions and Tābiūn. In addition, the authority of the sunnah, which exists in both religious and social life, has been seen as a fulcrum in every field of life. From this point of view, the subject of the article is about the influence of periodic conditions in the interpretation of the hadiths of the Prophet and the use of the power of the sunnah as a tool of istimdād. The aim of the research is to reveal that the evaluations made on the rumors that contain universal provisions cannot always be universal and that the explanations in question can only reflect the conditions of the period in which they were said. Likewise, beyond the fact that hadiths guide people's ideas, it is aimed to reveal the fact that sometimes the presuppositions are shown as if they were in the narrations. In terms of scope and limitations the Ottoman Empire in the first quarter of the twentieth century was preferred. Because the political, economic and military turmoils experienced at that time are among the time periods when the spiritual power of the narrations is most needed. The name Babanzāde Ahmed Naim (1872-1934) was preferred because he was well-equipped in both "dirayah al-hadith" and "rivayah al-hadith" sciences and also had an active role in his era. Since Ahmed Naim has many works in different scientific disciplines, a limitation has been made on the hadith articles he wrote in the "Sabil al-Rashad" Journal. Because these articles deal directly with the problems of the period. The article is based on the assumption that the events that took place in the aforementioned period had an impact on the interpretation of hadith and that Muslims were channeled in the desired direction by taking advantage of the authority of the Prophet. Methodically, in this study, it has been tried to reveal why and to what extent Ahmed Naim prioritized the titles such as staying away from tribalism, awareness of the ummah, devotion to the sunnah, admiration for the west, and jihad, through the cause-effect relationship, with an inductive method. In addition, based on the event-hadith relationship, the method of comparison between the narrations selected every week and the events that took place during those days was frequently used. The study is important in terms of its effort to see the position of hadiths when considered as a source of motivation, to point out the dimensions of the effects of external motives in approaching the narrations, and to reveal the effect of citing a reference from a higher authority to confirm the case within the framework of Ahmed Naim's hadith explanations. As a result, Ahmed Naim prioritized the main problems that he witnessed during his lifetime and that he considered a problem, in this way, he made the hadiths a motivational factor by sometimes taking them out of their context and endeavoring to direct his interlocutors in this way. The research also points to the possible problematic area on hadith commentaries and current hadith interpretations in general, as it gives information that periodical elements and personal preferences cannot be generalized in narration interpretations and can only address the time in which they were made.
