Abstract
The research deals with the study of unique models of prophetic rhetoric, which are the noble prophetic hadiths that consisted of only two words, in Sahih al-Bukhari or Sahih Muslim, or both. The importance of the research comes from the ability of these hadiths to express comprehensive meanings and inclusive concepts. In spite of being brief in terms of short phrases, and this is achieved thanks to expressive linguistic accuracy, either in the nominal sentence that indicates proof and characterization in a permanent and stable manner, or in the actual sentence if the intended speech is related to a specific intended time, or is related to a request or prohibition, or it is intended to denote a meaning. Renewed with the change of times. Briefness is one of the most important features of expression in Arabic, and rhetoricians adhered to it, and its presence in the noble Qur’anic sentence and the noble Prophet’s hadith was a credibility for ruling with eloquence and splendor of eloquence. The research has dealt with the means by which the brevity of these honorable hadiths occurred, by explaining the aspect of brevity in its two types: the brevity of omission and the brevity of shortening, and it appeared by extrapolation that the brevity of shortening is the most present in those hadiths, and it is based on the means of comprehensiveness and linguistic generality, and the manifestations of sufficiency and reduction in the sentence Such as referral, allusions, and the use of words of common denotation over multiple meanings. The research presented these means by analyzing the pillars of the sentences of these hadiths and it appeared that they are determined in three basic contents: defining the legal ruling, exhortations, commandments, and establishing the initial facts. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the ease of memorization and the firmness of ideas. Keywords: Prophetic hadith, brevity, significance.
