Abstract

The present study is essentially axed around: Highlighting the particular interest of one the key manuscripts of contemporary Malikite School of thought scholars in defining precisely some of the odd terms in the Prophet’s (PBUH) Tradition. From this perspective, this manuscript is another form of the Tradition’s interpretation as it outlines how these terms are to be dealt with.

Hence, the importance of fully grasping the denotations of oddity which will allow scholars to properly evaluate the text and thereby set the appropriate provisions in this regard.

The dissertation includes: a short biography of the author, an introduction of his manuscript and an analysis of the methodology he adopted in deverbalizing , explaining and outlining the main aspects that drew his attention while interpreting oddity in the Prophetic Tradition.
