Abstract
Abu’l-Qasım Mahmud b. ‘Umar al-Zamakhshari (d. 538/1143) is one of the significant Mu’tazilite scholars who raised in the Harezm region. Zamakhshari, who lived in a period when science and literature reached its peak, wrote about fifty books on many fields, such as tafsir, hadith, kalam, fiqh, language and literature. His works have been appreciated and valued by the scholars. This study tries to establish the sources of the hadiths which were included in one of the Zamakhshari’s most important pieces of work titled: al-Kashshâf an haqâ’iq ghawâmid al-tanzîl wa-uyun al-aqâwîl fi wujûh al-ta’wîl, Rabîu’l-Ebrâr and Ruûsu’l-Mesâil. It has been found that a large part of the hadiths that found in these works are included in the sources of hadiths which were accepted by the muhaddiths. The obtained data were evaluated in a unity and presented with tables and graphs. As a result of the study, a large part of the hadiths found in these works came to be found in muhaddiths accepted sources of hadiths.
