In the hadith transmission, “one-to-one transmission” is essential, but because of the poor memory of some narrators, the weak ability and unwariness of some to protect the narration, some hadiths were transfered with their meanings. One of the conclusions of hadiths with their meanings is the abbreviation of the hadith. There are scholars who do not see fit as well as scholars who regard the abbreviation as appropriate in hadith transmission. Those who regard the abbreviation as suitable in the transmission of hadith have considered the narration with meaning as a necessity. However, these also seemed appropriate in some circumstances to shorten the narration. These conditions are; the possibility of reaching the whole of the narrative; that the unmentioned part of the hadith is independent of the narrated part; there is no doubt that there is a surplus in the hadith narration; shortening narrator is the scholar and the fakeeh. Abbreviation in hadith transmission sometimes makes difficult to understand the hadiths correctly, leads to over understanding of the full text of hadith, gives a picture of contradiction between texts, leads to doubtfulness of the abridged narration, causes difficulties in revealing its meaning and brings with it some criticism about hadiths in this case. The most important remedy in to avoid the problems caused by abbreviated narrations is to put together the different variants of the hadiths and place them in shortened phrases. The first thing to do in order to do this is to reach the full text of the abbreviated hadiths before abbreviation. Reaching the full text or different variants of the abbreviated hadiths removes the doubts about the correctness of hadiths and allows a more accurate understanding of the text. This article which deals with the abbreviated Bukhari hadith was followed in the following way; different variants of the hadith were reached and compared with the in question narrative; narrator chain, text and meaning have been evaluated in this framework and problems caused by abbreviations have been tried to be solved.
Hadith, narrative, abbreviation, meaning, fiqh.
