Abstract
AbÅ« l-Yusr al-BazdawÄ« (d. 493/1100) was a notable early MÄturÄ«dite theologian who made an important contribution to the formation of his school by embracing kalÄm and promoting the image of al-MÄturÄ«dÄ« (d. 333/944) as a Sunnite leader when the science was not yet popular in his region of Transoxania. This produced some tension in his thought as he negotiated rationalist and traditionalist doctrines and their adherents. Indications of this are found in his discussion of Godâs speech in which he argues for the Sunnite doctrine of eternal divine speech while effectively affirming the createdness of scriptures; at the same time, he defends those who assert the uncreatedness of the Quran and maintains that Godâs speech is truly written, memorized, recited, and heard.

Abstract
AbÅ« l-Yusr al-BazdawÄ« (d. 493/1100) was a notable early MÄturÄ«dite theologian who made an important contribution to the formation of his school by embracing kalÄm and promoting the image of al-MÄturÄ«dÄ« (d. 333/944) as a Sunnite leader when the science was not yet popular in his region of Transoxania. This produced some tension in his thought as he negotiated rationalist and traditionalist doctrines and their adherents. Indications of this are found in his discussion of Godâs speech in which he argues for the Sunnite doctrine of eternal divine speech while effectively affirming the createdness of scriptures; at the same time, he defends those who assert the uncreatedness of the Quran and maintains that Godâs speech is truly written, memorized, recited, and heard.
