Özet

Some of the hadith papyruses have become a subject of study in parallel with the increase in studies relating to papyruses. We have already reviewed the papyrus belongs to ʿAli b. Maʿbed al-Misrī (d. 218/833) and find out that they exist in available hadith books. Along the same line, in this study, we studied on a papyrus fragment that is in the Austrian National Library and considered belong to 2nd-3rd centuries A.H. Hadiths in the related fragment are grounded on Dāwūd b. al-Ḥusayn al-Umawī (d. 135/752). In various topics five hadiths which are narrated by the way of Dāwūd b. al-Ḥusayn ⇐ ʿIkrima ⇐ Ibn ʿAbbās are read in this fragment that may be a part of a hadith page. We have concluded at the end of our research that related hadiths recorded by Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. Abū Yaḥyā (d. 184/800). However, we cannot determine whether this fragment belongs to a page of him or was copied from the original. For our findings, all of the hadiths in the fragment are acquirable in different hadith books. Accordingly, it has been confirmed that currently available hadith books had an authentic original in 2nd-3rd centuries A.H.
