Özet:

 Honey has long been regarded as both a therapeutic agent and a symbolic entity in religious and mythological contexts across diverse cultures. Consequently, medical, religious, and mythological sources have extensively discussed its properties. This study explores the use of honey, particularly in the treatment of abdominal pain and diarrhoea, from the perspectives of hadith studies and medical science. Both the Quran and Sunnah emphasize honeys healing properties, with numerous hadiths mentioning its use, either as a standalone remedy or in combination with other substances. The study critically examines issues related to the isnād chain of transmission and textual authenticity of certain hadiths through the methodological lens of hadith studies. While the medical application of honey for diarrhoea has occasionally been debated, there is a consensus regarding its efficacy. The research also considers whether Prophet Muhammads recommendations on honey were based on empirical knowledge rooted in pre-Islamic practices, rather than divine revelation. Furthermore, the study evaluates the practice of boiling honey and its diluted use considering contemporary medical findings. An interdisciplinary approach was employed to investigate honeys effects on diarrhoea alongside related hadiths. Despite some discrepancies, significant compatibility between the hadith literature and modern medical findings has been observed. The study also highlights the variability in honeys composition, influenced by geography and bee diets, as an important consideration for future research. Additionally, the biological characteristics and dietary habits of patients may impact treatment outcomes. The inductive method istiqra was utilized to analyze these connections comprehensively.

 Bal, farklı kültür ve coğrafyalarda hem terapötik bir ajan hem de dini ve mitolojik anlam taşıyan sembolik bir varlık olarak görülmüştür. Bu nedenle, tıbbi, dini ve mitolojik kaynaklar balın özelliklerine dair çeşitli tartışmaları içermektedir. Bu çalışmada, özellikle karın ağrısı ve ishal tedavisinde balın kullanımını hadis ilmi ve tıbbi bilimler perspektifinden incelenmektedir. Kuran ve Sünnet balın şifa verici özelliklerini vurgulamakta, pek çok hadiste ise balın tek başına ya da başka maddelerle karıştırılarak kullanımına atıfta bulunulmaktadır. Çalışmada, bazı hadislerin isnad ve metin yönünden problemleri tespit edilerek hadis metodolojisi çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Balın tıbbi olarak ishal tedavisindeki kullanımının zaman zaman tartışma konusu olmuş olması da çalışmanın kapsamı içerisinde incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, Hz. Muhammedin bala dair tavsiyelerinin ilahi vahiyden ziyade geçmiş deneyim ve tecrübelere dayanmış olabileceği ihtimali de değerlendirilmiştir; zira bal, İslam öncesi medeniyetlerde de bir tedavi aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, balın kaynatılması ve seyreltilerek kullanılması uygulamaları da modern tıbbi veriler ışığında değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada ishal ve ilgili hadislerin incelenmesinde disiplinler arası bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Hadisler ile tıbbi bulgular arasında bazı farklılıklar olmakla birlikte genel uyumluluk olup olmadığı değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, balın bileşiminin coğrafya ve arıların beslenme alışkanlıklarına bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterdiği dikkate alınarak, gelecekteki araştırmaların bu faktörleri değerlendirmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, hastaların biyolojik özellikleri ve beslenme alışkanlıklarının tedavi sonuçlarını etkileyebileceği belirtilmiştir. Çalışmada, bu bağlantıları analiz etmek için tümevarım yöntemi istikra kullanılmıştır.
