SUMMARY: Tirmidhi’s Sunan is an important book in al-Hadith. This work is assigned at the fourth level after the works of Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Dawud. In this work, Tirmidhi dealt with the subjects of Ilma’l-Hadith, Ilma’r-Rijal (hadith narrators) and Ilma’l-Fiqh (Jurisprudence).Abu Ismael al-Harawi said about this book: 'To me, his book is better than the book of Bukhari and that of Muslim. Because only the one who is an expert in the subject can attain the benefits of the books of Bukhari and Muslim, whereas in the case of the book of Abu'l-Elsa, everyone can reach its benefits.Tirmidhi formed his work by narrating the words of some hadith narrators like ad-Dharimi, Bukhari and Abu Zur‘a, and sometimes he asked questions to them and wrote down their answers. In this article, I reported the differences between Bukhari and Abu Zur‘a, in the reasons of Hadiths, Tirmidhi narrated from them.Ismail al-Hurawi said: ‘for me, this book is better than Bukhari and Muslim's two books, because everyone can reach its benefits, whereas in the case of Bukhari and Muslim, only the one who is expert in the subject can attain its benefits.Bukhari and Abu Zur‘a differentiated in two issues; the first one is in the book of purity, chapter of ablution before prayer. Abu Issa ibn Sawra Tirmidhi said: ‘Busrah bint Safwan narrated that the Prophet said: ‘Whoever touches his penis, then he is not to pray until he performs ablution.’ While Muhammad Ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari said: ‘The most correct thing in this topic is the Hadith of Busrah.’ Abu Zur‘a said: ‘The Hadith of Umm Habibah in this topic is the most correct. It is the Hadith of Al-‘Ala‘ bin Al-Hãrith, from Makhul from 'Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan from Umm Habibah.’ Muhammad said: ‘Makhul did not hear from 'Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan directly. Makhul reported something besides this Hadith, from a man called 'Anbasah’. It is seen that he did not think that this Hadith is correct.The issue is a dispute between Abu Zur‘a and Bukhari about whether ‘Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan heard the hadith from Makhul. Bukhari thinks that ‘Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan heard the hadith from a man called Makhul, so the hadith is broken and not correct. Abu Zur‘a has another point of view, he thinks that 'Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan heard the hadith from Makhul, so the hadith is connected and not broken. In this article we examined the evidences of Bukhari and Abu Zur‘a and mentioned them in the conclusion.The second issue is in the book of prayer, where we find that Imam guarantor, and muezzin is trustee. Abu Issa ibn Sawra Tirmidhi Abu Hurairah narrated that prophet said: ‘Imam Guarantor and muezzin is trustee. O Allah! Guide the Imams, and pardon the muezzin’ Abu Issa said that narration of Abu Saleh from Abu Hurairah is more correct than the narration of Abu Saleh from Aisah.The matter is about which of the narrations of this hadith is correct. There are four opinions: The first one is the opinion of Abu Saleh from Aishah, and this is the opinion of Bukhari. The second one is the opinion of Abu Saleh from Abu Hurairah, from prophet himself, and this is what Abu Zur‘a accepted. The third one is the opinion of Ibn Al-Madini. The fourth one is related to Ibn Habban, who thinks that both the two narrations are correct.In this essay we shed light on all the significances and we concluded that:All hadith students can't dispense Tirmidhi's book, due to its jurisprudential benefits and documenting narrators, in accordance with their weakness and credibility. Also it contains many benefits, which makes it one of the best books of sunan.The need of studying reasons of hadith, because of its great interest to find the narrations and reasons, and to know the illusion of narrators, and other kinds of reasons.The efforts of hadith scholars in their attempts to reach to the highest standards of credibility and accuracy in narration, correcting, and so on.Accuracy of hadith scholars and their diligence to identify the weak hadith and strong ones.Bukhari and Abu Zur‘a’s largest memories and knowledge, since that knowledge is the most significant thing in narrating.They differentiated in the first issue, which is about whether ‘Anbasah heard from Makhul. Scholars point out that the Abu Zur‘a’s opinion is correct.They differentiated in the second issue, which is about a single hadith with two narrations. Bukhari said that one of narrations is correct, and the other is not, while Abu Zur‘a had a different point of view.
