Abstract

The study aimed to explore stylistics within the qudsi hadith “O My Servants, I have forbidden injustice”, to reveal the mechanisms for studying the linguistic style embedded in the context, and to identify the linguistic style and its methodology within the text of the qudsi hadith. The study followed the descriptive, inductive and deductive method, and reached several findings, notably the following: The text of the qudsi hadith is distinguished by the precision of its linguistic style, particularly in the selection of words that contextually suit the meaning of the text. Thus, the terms and phrases are perfectly appropriate for the connotations and symbols with linguistic implicature. The text of the hadith is characterized by a smooth rhetorical style, beginning with an invocation, followed by guidance about a command, a prohibition, or an exhortation. It exhibits textual cohesion through the use of connectors and semantic consistency, which lends the style a sense of objective linguistic rigor. This, in turn, has had a profound impact on those who listen to or read the hadith. The study recommends researching the linguistic style in the Prophetic hadiths with the aim of uncovering the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) linguistic method in selecting the appropriate words to convey the meaning of the hadith.
