Abstract

In this study, place names mentioned in hadiths have been analyzed by centering around Sahih al-Bukhari with the consideration that they would contribute to an accurate interpreting of Hadiths, besides helping the preservation of historical and spiritual values of place names cited in Hadiths. A total of forty-nine place names consisting of forty-four as Mecca and its surroundings, fifty-five as Medina and its surroundings, and fifty of them under the title of Other Regions, were identified and examined. In some of these examined places, the Prophet Mohammed was present in person; stopped by there; fought in jihad; or an incident occurred there during the Prophet’s period. Some of them are the places the Prophet was not present in person but he spoke of. The Prophet sent away a person from the ashab or sent a letter to some places mentioned in Hadlths. The Prophet informed some of the places he mentioned are of virtue. Some other places were mentioned in the hadith for any other reason.
