description The second golden age in the history of Islamic sciences after the third century AH is the period of the Mamluks, whose rule lasted about two and a half centuries (648-923/1250-1517). The 7th-10th centuries AH, when the Mamluks dominated the Islamic world, was a period in which the science of hadith was relatively advanced, and scholarly works were compiled in almost every field of hadith literature. The period of Mamluks is quite rich in terms of hadith scholars and the works written by hadith scholars. This study focuses on the reasons that brought about this wealth, and it provides an overview of the hadith literature within the geographical boundaries reached by the Mamluks, whose rule lasted over 250 years, corresponding to the seventh and tenth centuries of Islamic history. In this study, a list of the hadith scholars of the Mamluk period was drawn up, and the general characteristics of the hadith classification of the period were examined based on the distribution of the works that these scholars wrote in various types of hadith literature. This study investigated the main areas of focus in the hadith literature, basic features of the hadith literature of the period, the examination of the hadith literature by dividing it into subbranches of hadith science, the importance of the works written in the Mamluks period in terms of hadith science, and the contribution of these works to the development of this science. However, compiling a list of the hadith literature of the Mamluk period is beyond the scope of this study. Commonly known as the period of “commentary (sharh) and annotation (hashiyah)”, the 7th-10th centuries of the Islamic history, when the Mamluks dominated the Islamic world, is scientifically described as the “regression period” in terms of hadith literature. The present study critically evaluated this period through the lens of hadith science by taking into account the related hadith literature.
