Abstract

This research studies the concept of scientific commentary (al-sharḥ al-ʿilmī), which recently gained considerable significance, especially in dealing with ḥadīths of al-Ṭibb al-Nabawī (Prophetic medicine) and understanding them. In the beginning, the study defines the concept of scientific commentary, shedding light on its history in terms of its emergence, context, scholars and their arguments. Later, the study identifies and discusses the following theoretical and practical issues of scientific commentary in selected ḥadīths of Prophetic medicine. The historical, descriptive, and analytical methods are utilised in the entire study. The finding of this study indicates that there have been numerous commentaries that adopt the scientific approach in dealing with the subject of Prophetic medicine. This has posed significant methodological issues that led to the non-traditional understanding of Prophetic ḥadīths. The issue requires further investigation to shed better light on this problem.
