The concept and interpretation of hadiths have always been up-to-date since the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The constant change of social life naturally affected the permanency of interpretation of religious texts. The reflections of scientific and technical developments on religious texts have always been a controversial issue. It is clear in the commentaries and interpretation of the narrations for the astronomical developments related to the celestial bodies. In this study, an important hadith classics in the multidimensional changing Republican period, in particular, the hadiths of “küsûf” and “husûf” will be discussed in the context of “Sahih-i Bukhari Concise Tecrid-i Sarih Translation and Commentary” translated and annotated by Ahmed Naim and Kâmil Miras. Ahmed Naim, who annotated these hadiths, has a voice in philosophy and other social sciences as well as religious sciences. He interpreted the authentic narrations with a holistic view in accordance with scientific data and sustained his connection with the tradition by referring to the previous scholars. He also harshly criticized those who are against religion in the name of being scientific and stated that some of the unsolved issues in the “küsûf” and “husûf” narrations can only be solved with astronomical data and there is no other way.
