Lutfullah Afandi al-Erzurumi as a Muhaddith and his Method of Presenting Narratives in his Tafsir

Almost all of the recently written tafsirs include both the reporting (riwayah) and wisdom (dirayah) scholarships. In these circumstances, even if the authors for testament have a different position among the authors for hadith, they have to know the hadith scholarship. One of these interpretations is “Ram？zu’t-Tahrir ve’t-Tefsir” by Erzurumlu Lütfullah Efendi. Lütfullah Efendi built his work on the interpretation by Beyzav？ and some other ones, and his work includes many reports. However, Lütfullah Efendi, who did not think it is necessary to use Beyzav？’s method and who did not think it is enough to use only his rumors, used a diversified method in this report presentation. In this paper, we have studied on his personality as a hadith scholar, his travels to find the hadiths and his works in this field to find out his hadith understanding and his role in this field. Then, we have tried to show his utilization method for hadiths and the presentation for hadiths in his interpretations based on the ability about hadith in his largest work, which is his tafsir book
