Summary/Abstract: In this article the narrative of Muˈāwiyah b. Muˈāwiyah which was reported in concern with the virtues of the Sūrah of İkhlās was discussed. In the narrative in question it is talked about Muˈāwiyah b. Muˈāwiyah who “attained to high levels as he kept citing Surah of İkhlas constantly and whom Gabriel and seventy thousand angels attended to his funeral in rows.” Gabriel went to the Holy Prophet who was in the war of T abūk and informed him, about the news of the decease of Muˈāwiyah. According to this news, “Gabriel bent the earth by opening out the mountains and hills so as to have Holy Prophet attended to Muˈāwiyah’s funeral.” The narrative of Muˈāwiyah b. Muˈāwiyah, which talks on the extraordinary situations related to the virtue of Surah of İkhlas, was narrated from four people in total. It was narrated as marfūˈ from Anas b. Māliq and Abū Umāmah and as mursal from al-Hasan al-Basrī and Saˈīd b. Musayyab. In our study, first narrators’ in the isnād states of jarh and taˈdīl were confirmed. The imputation analysis of the narrative was done by way of all the tarīqs of the narrative that can be accessed and each tarīq was subjected to the evaluation seperately. As for the text analysis of the narratives was done in terms of the differences of wording and content in the narratives. For that purpose, firstly, comparisons of the narratives were made within themselves then made with other hadithes. While inter-narrative comparisons were being made firstly a common composition was formed in themselves then the method of comparing the other narratives with themselves was consulted. At the end of the imputation and text analysis, the validity value of the narrative of Muˈāwiyah b. Muˈāwiyah was detected.
