Sâbûnî'nin Nesefî Geleneğine Katkısı ve İki Kritik Sapma

Nūr al-Dīn al-Ṣābūnī (d. 580/1184), in his *Kifāya fī l-hidāya*, essentially follows the presentation given by Abū l-Muʿīn al-Nasafī in the *Tabṣirat al-adilla*. Based on Ulrich Rudolph's detailed manuscript study (Kifāya, fols. 66a-69b), two critical divergences from al-Nasafī are detected: First divergence: The critical passage in which al-Nasafī makes clear al-Māturīdī's proximity to "accidentalists" (and thus his divergence from standard atomism) is completely absent in al-Ṣābūnī's work. This may represent a deliberate decision to conceal or bypass the traces of al-Māturīdī's original teaching about the natural world. Second divergence: On the definition of a body, al-Ṣābūnī sides with al-Ashʿarī, stating that a structure of two atoms is sufficient to form a body. This preference diverges from al-Nasafī's more nuanced position and indicates a further Ashʿaritization of the Māturīdī school's ontology in the 12th century. Rudolph concludes that al-Ṣābūnī preserved the core of al-Nasafī's ontological model, but through these two exceptions contributed to the broader trend of Ashʿarite convergence in the later Māturīdite tradition.
