  Abstract

This article analyzes the jurisprudence of six prominent third/ninth–century hadith scholars by examining the chapters on divorce in their compilations. This comparative study shows that only six legal topics on divorce were common to the books of al-Darimi, al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Maja, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi. It also demonstrates that: 1) Some hadith scholars regularly expressed their personal legal opinions; 2) hadith scholars developed three distinct utility for certain fields of jurisprudence in the early lhringAbbasid period.
