Āfiyah means being away from diseases and troubles, It is a state of being free from both physical and mental illnesses. Mu'āfāt is the; Creator giving āfiyah to His servant. Āfiyah and Mu'āfāt is mentioned in many hadiths. The Messenger of Allah advised his companions to seek āfiyah from Allah. In a narration from Abu Bakr: Ask Allah to give you āfiyah or mu'āfāt. For no one has ever received anything superior/valuable than āfiyah or muʻāfāt after yakîn / full faith." is one of the hadiths about āfiyah. In the hadith, which is included in basic hadith sources with different versions, the meaning of āfiye is explained by comparison with yakînî faith. But in some of the hadiths it is sad that āfiyet or muʻāfāt is the highest blessing after faith, while in some narratives it is sad that āfāiye is superior to faith. There is also a narration that mentions yakînî faith and muʻāfāt as equivalent. This discrepancy in the hadiths comparing āfiye with yakînî faith is remarkable. The narrations took place in Nesai's Sunen al kubra and Tahāvî's Serh Muskili'l Asar. However, no explanation has been made in these works or in other sources regarding the classification of āfiye and yakînî faith. No attention was drawn to the conflict between the hadiths on this point, and no solution was offered. For these reasons, the hadiths that compare āfiye with yakînî faith have been studied and examined. The research was limited with the Kutub-i Tis'a and earlier works, and the basic sources were centered in this study. Hadiths with issues other than āfiye and yakînî faith that have contributed to resolving the conflict have been pointed out. In this article, in order to resolve the conflict in the narration, different versions of the hadith were brought together and examined in terms of the sanad and the matn, and it was aimed to eliminate the conflict.
