A widespread belief exists that Eve was created from the ribs of Adam. One of the most important effects which makes this belief extensive among people is the ḥadīth narrating the first female was created from the ribs of first male Adam. This ḥadīth known as the “ḥadīth of rib”. It has eighteen deeds and sixty-one different way of references in the al-Kutub al-Tisʿa sources according to the chain of narrations. Because it is narrated by Buk̲h̲ārī and Muslim, classically it has a firm place among the hadiths known “muttafaqun alayh” that is, its authenticity is the most agreed upon. As a text, it is known as a hadith which is narrated in two wordings “creation” and “simile”. It is not possible that the holly Prophet had been said its two versions. While the versions with “simile” are more common in the al-Kutub al-Tisʿa, the version with the “creation” appears more in the later sources. Therefore, this ḥadīth is understood as woman created from the ribs of man in many traditions. Recently, much new research had been conducted about the hadith. Different conclusions were given both about the authenticity and its interpretations. Although some researchers claimed that there may exist some untrusted objected narrators among the deeds, authenticity of the ḥadīth is commonly confirmed while the “simile” version of the wording was claimed more trustable. Because numerous objected narrators found besides the trustable ones, some researchers who studied the subject in more detail claimed that the ḥadīth is not correct or authentic both according to “creation” and “simile” because it opposes the Qur’anic saying that human race is created in the most beautiful form materially and spiritually since both versions found problematic with meanings to indicate inferiority of females than males. The aim of this study is to pay attention to the recent research and reanalyze the deeds and wordings of the “ḥadīth of rib”. Therefore, in this study, the objected narrators have been restudied and their narrations have been re-analyzed to understand if they are acceptable or not. The most problematic side of the ḥadīth is its wording with a common agreement among the researchers. To interpret the ḥadīth correctly, the sociological roots of the subject and its relation to the Qur’anic concept nafs wāḥida was investigated. Sociologically, it has been noticed that the narrations saying that female is created from the ribs of male are mostly come from the narrators of Iraqi region where the belief is the most common. If the Qur’anic concept nafs wāḥida indicates Adam, and if a wife created from the ribs is Eve, and if the common belief indicates these, one can conclude that Eve was created from the ribs of Adam. This study takes attention that the verses of nafs wāḥida cannot be combined with the “ḥadīth of rib”. Thus, the traditional way of combining them is problematic. Although, in the first look this ḥadīth may give an impression that Prophet is pointing out inferiority or deficiency of women, in reality the purpose of the ḥadīth is an injunction by the Prophet to the men always be polite to women who are in more delicate and fragile nature compared to them. The real addressee are men not women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
