Hâzım Ahmed en-Nevşehrî՚ye Nispet Edilen Vebaՙd Adlı Risâlenin Tahkiki ve Muhteva Açısından Değerlendirilmesi

The expressions “أمّا بعد” (ammā baՙd/now) and “وبعد” (waba’d), which are common in the Islamic tradition, have been discussed by many authors in terms of grammar and meaning. In terms of being a part of the classical writing tradition, in some commentaries and annotations made to scientific texts, information about ammā baՙd or wa ba’d expressions, such as their iʿrab, who used them first, and what their conceptual equivalent in rhetoric is. According to the researches, it has been determined that many separate treatises on the aforementioned subject have also been copyrighted. One of these works is called waba’d, which is attributed to Sayyid Hāzim Ahmad An-Nevsehrī (d. 1160/1747-48), and subject of this study. As a result of the research on the author of the treatise, two different Hāzims, who have the same name, pseudonym and father's name, and who have a grandfather-grandson relationship between them, have been identified. Due to this situation, in order to eliminate the doubts that may arise about the belonging of the treatise to the aforementioned author, the article about the belonging of the work to the author has been extensively discussed. Considering its content, from this examination and evaluation on this treatise, which seems to have given brief information about the waba’d under ten titles, it has been concluded that the treatise belongs to the grandfather Hāzim, and although it has an important place in its field. It can be counted as one of the first independent treatises written specifically on this subject. In addition, Hāzim, in his work called waba’d, dealt with this expression in general terms and compiled the information given by the scholars before him, and presented it in a single work so that the reader could easily access. In this research, the method of comparison and analysis has been applied as a basis, and it has been tried to benefit from the classical sources as much as possible about the subjects in question.
