İlk dönem İslâm âlimlerinden olan İbn Kuteybe (ö. 276/ 889) tefsir, hadis, kelam, tarih, dil ve edebiyat alanında te’lif ettiği eserleriyle yaşadığı dönemin önemli meselelerine değinmiş, bu meseleler hakkındaki ihtilafları gidermeye çalışmıştır. Araştırmamızda amacımız, İbn Kuteybe’nin, daha çok edep/ ahlâk ve kültüre dair ‘Uyûnü’l-ahbâr adlı eserinin incelenmesi ve bu inceleme sonunda İbn Kuteybe’nin yaşadığı asra kadar olan zaman dilimine ait İslâm dünyasının siyasî, idarî, askerî, ilmî, sosyal ve kültürel hayata ait bilgilerinin tespiti ve değerlendirilmesidir. Böylelikle ‘Uyûnü’l-ahbâr’ın İslâm tarihindeki yerinin tespiti hedeflenmektedir. Araştırmamız neticesinde onun ‘Uyûnü’l-ahbâr’ı ele aldığı zaman diliminin; hicrî ilk üç yüzyılın özellikle de yaşadığı Abbâsî toplumunun kültürel hayatının birçok yönünü ihtiva ettiğini görmekteyiz. Eser bu özelliğiyle ele aldığı dönemin aynası niteliğinde değerlendirilmelidir. Önemli kültür birikimine sahip olan müellif eserinde birçok kaynak kullanarak eserini zenginleştirmiştir. Araştırmamızda eserin kaynakları tespit edilmiş özellikle yabancı kültürlere ait kaynakların tespiti üzerinde durularak bu kültürlerin bir değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır.
