A Study and Analysis of the Function of Narrative Elements in Narrative Texts (A Case Study of the Conversations of Hasaniyyah)

This is an academic essay or article arguing that literary fiction, despite its modern character, need not be seen as foreign to hadith literature. It contends that narrative and fictional forms have long served as vehicles for transmitting the intellectual, cultural, and religious knowledge of civilizations, and that in recent times Muslim scholars have worked to draw on hadith sources across fields such as medicine, economics, and psychology. The piece sets out to explore whether the short story and novel might similarly engage with hadith texts in a meaningful way.
