Folk beliefs are an important part of the common culture that makes up the society and have a decisive role in the life of the society. These beliefs, which draw attention as one of the common components of society, are as effective as other components on both one's own life and relationships with other people. As a matter of fact, at the time of the revelation of Islam, the people who were the first interlocutors of the Prophet Muhammad also had certain beliefs that were not directly related to their religious beliefs but had significant effects on their lives. These beliefs, which shaped their lives and shaped their attitudes and behaviors, became one of the important issues of the Prophet's process of rebuilding society in accordance with the revelation of Islam. In this respect, some narrations in our hadith sources are important both in terms of conveying the folk beliefs in the wurud environment and showing the attitude of Islam towards these beliefs. The question of what was the Prophet's attitude towards these beliefs is still important today. The reason for this is that similar beliefs continue to exist in today's society, despite the passage of time and cultural changes. This study aims to identify the hadiths that are seen as related to the folk beliefs of the period, and to show the knowledge transferred through these hadiths and how and how much this knowledge is used in the activity of understanding/interpreting the hadiths.
