Özet:

 Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr, for whom the Prophet prayed, was orphaned at a very young age. The recognition of his father Abū Bakr in the Islamic community has made Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr a remarkable name in the eyes of society. Although his name was not mentioned in important events due to his young age during both his father and the subsequent caliph ʿUmar, he began to appear in the chaos events of the Othmān period. His position, role and attitude during the chaotic political and social events of the relevant period are noteworthy. Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr, one of the important men in ʿAlīs power struggles, grew up next to ʿAlī as his stepfather from an early age. During his short life, he took part in many critical events and left his mark in the political field. During the period he lived, he followed attitudes that can be evaluated in a leading position among the opposition movements carried out against the caliph. This study aims to cover the important periods of Muḥammad b. Abī Bakrs life and his political activities in a comprehensive manner. His struggles, especially his role in the process leading to Othmāns murder and the Battle of the Camel under ʿAlīs caliphate, are important for understanding the political conjuncture of the period. In the research, first of all, the basic periods of Muḥammad b. Abī Bakrs life will be discussed, and then his position in the Islamic society will be examined in detail within the framework of different narrates contained in classical works. In this process, the narrations will be subjected to isnād criticism and matn criticism, evaluated in terms of their authenticity or weakness, with consideration given to their historical context. The aim of the study is to be able to express a correct and reliable opinion about the situation of Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr, about whom there are rumors about killing.

 Hz. Peygamberin kendisine dua ettiği Muhammed b. Ebî Bekir çok küçük yaşlarda yetim kalmıştır. Babası Hz. Ebû Bekirin İslâm toplumundaki tanınırlığı Muhammed b. Ebî Bekiri toplum nazarında dikkat çeken bir isim haline getirmiştir. Her ne kadar hem babası hem de sonraki halife Hz. Ömer döneminde küçük yaşta olması hasebiyle adı önemli olaylarda zikredilmese de Hz. Osman dönemi fitne olaylarında görünmeye başlamıştır. Bahis mevzu dönemin kaotik siyasi ve toplumsal olayları esnasındaki konumu, rolü ve tutumu dikkate şayandır. Küçük yaşta bakımını üstlenen, üvey babası ve mürebbisi konumunda olan Hz. Alinin iktidar mücadelelerindeki önemli adamlarından biri olan Muhammed b. Ebî Bekir, kısa süren hayatı boyunca pek çok kritik olayda yer almış, daha çok siyasi alanda iz bırakmıştır. Yaşadığı dönemde halifeye karşı yürütülen muhalif hareketler içinde başat konumda değerlendirilebilecek tutumlar izlemiştir. Bu çalışma, Muhammed b. Ebî Bekirin hayatının önemli dönemlerini ve siyasi faaliyetlerini kapsamlı bir şekilde ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Onun özellikle Hz. Osmanın katline giden süreçteki rolü ve Hz. Alinin hilafeti altındaki Cemel Vakası gibi mücadeleleri, dönemin siyasi konjonktürünü anlamak açısından önemlidir. Araştırmada öncelikle Muhammed b. Ebî Bekirin hayatının temel dönemleri ele alınacak, ardından onun İslâm toplumundaki konumu klasik kaynaklarda yer alan farklı rivayetler çerçevesinde detaylı bir biçimde incelenecektir. Bu yapılırken rivayetler sened ve metin tenkidine tabi tutulacak, zayıf ve sağlam olup olmamaları yönünde değerlendirilecek, bu noktada tarihsel bağlam da göz önünde bulundurulacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı hakkında şayia bulunan Muhammed b. Ebî Bekirin katledmedeki durumuna dair doğru ve sağlam bir görüş beyan edebilmektir.
