Abstract

The explanatory insights provided in the commentaries on the Prophet's traditions (Ḥadīth) are crucial for understanding and applying the teachings of Islam. This research focuses on the role of these explanatory statements in the classical Islamic text "ʻAwn al-Mʻabūd" a well-regarded commentary on the " Sunan Abī Dāwūd". The study examines how the commentator utilizes linguistic explanations, jurisprudential interpretations, and contextual analyses to elucidate the meanings of the Aḥādīth. By exploring these elements, the research highlights the importance of such explanations in bridging the gap between the textual content of the Ḥadīth and its practical application in daily life. The study also underscores how these interpretations help prevent misunderstandings and misapplications of the Prophetic traditions. Through this examination, "ʻAwn al-Mʻabūd" serves as a valuable model for understanding the significance of explanatory insights in Ḥadīth commentaries and their role in preserving the integrity and comprehensibility of Islamic teachings. The findings underscore the importance of such commentaries in safeguarding the accuracy and relevance of the Ḥadīth, preventing potential misinterpretations, and ensuring their alignment with the overarching objectives of Sharīʻah. "ʻAwn al-Mʻabūd" is thus presented as a paradigmatic example of the vital contribution that exegetical commentaries make to the preservation and transmission of Islamic knowledge, highlighting their enduring relevance in contemporary Islamic scholarship.
