Noble Prophetic Hadiths Beginning with (not from us...) Semantic Study –
Abstract
All praise be to Almighty Allah and peace be upon His messenger Muhammad, his kinship and his companions. This paper studies the noble Hadiths (prophetic traditions) as mentioned in the six sahih (authentic books): Al-Boukhari's, Muslim's, Al-Nasaiy's, Al-Tirmithiy's, Abu-Dawwod's, and Ibn Majah's. the traditions under discussion are seven introduced by ( ..) "No one is among us who." . Those traditions tackle issues of Islamic doctrine, literature, adoration, transactions, besides other aspects of the glorious Islamic Shari'a (law).The method adopted in this paper involves first referring the Hadiths to their resources. This is followed by a semantic analysis of the initiation expression of the Hadiths i.e. "No one is among us who". Then each noble Hadith is discussed as a whole. Mention is made first of the above introductory utterance with its linguistic signification and its general meaning to be followed by the global meaning of the Hadith in question. The researcher has consulted, in the process, books on the interpretation of the noble hadith and referred to Qur'anic Ayas which tackle the issues in which the Hadiths in question is involved.This all is concluded by mentioning the important remarks and difficulties encountered in presenting this paper.
