السنة المشهورة عند الحنفية و تطبيقاتها في كتبهم

Abstract EN

I have debated a term used often among students of Sacred Law, yet because its reality and precise meaning are obscure to them they are prevented from its benefit.

So I focus in this paper on showing the actual intended meaning of “The Well- Known Sunna” , which the Hanafi Masters use much in their proofs of legal issues.

After a comprehensive survey, I reached the conclusion that it [“The Well-Known Sunna”] in reality refers to hadiths of single-chain transmission (ahad ) that the community received with acceptance, namely, by the Companions and Followers acting upon them and accepting them.

I conclude the paper with a practical side, of the Hanafi usage of “well-known” in their books.
