HADİS USULÜNDE BİR İNTİHAL VAKASI: İBN EBİ’D-DEM VE TEDKÎKU’L-ʿİNÂYE ADLI ESERİ

Abstract

In this article, the relevance of Tadqīq al-‘Ināyah of Ibn Abi’l-Dam (d. 642/1244), whose name is mentioned in the context of objection to Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ (d. 643/1245) although not very often, to Muqaddimah Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ is discussed. Based on Şams al-Din al-Sakhāwī’s (d. 902/1497) claim that Tadqīq al-‘Ināyah is plagiarism and the book’s critical edition committee being of the same opinion, it is tried to determine the relationship between the two works by reading them comparatively. It is very remarkable that there was a study on Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ’s work while he was still alive, and that it contained plagiarism. The main objective of this research is to reveal the dimensions and nature of plagiarism in Tadqīq al-‘Ināyah in terms of form, method and content. In the meantime, the paper will draw researchers attention to some of the original aspects of the work in question and to some criticisms of its author against Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ.
