Abstract

This study discusses the validity of maudhu’’ hadith criticism based on a comparative study of the methodologies of Nashiruddin Albani and Syuhudi Ismail. As contemporary hadith critics in the 20th century, they certainly have their own views on minor rules in determining the validity of the naqd al-Hadith. This is because the criteria for both minor rules in assessing the connection of the sanad and the justice and the shi'ifan of the narrator have the same elements. The similarity of these minor rules gives rise to the criteria of order in determining the validity of the hadith or judging the validity of the narrator and his narration. The purpose of this study seeks to explore the typology of the validity of both critics in validating the validity of the narrator and his narration. The academic anxiety that arises is how the validity of the maudhu’’ hadith criticism of these two figures in determining the authenticity and shi'ifan in the aspects of sanad and matan. This research method uses a qualitative study, namely descriptive-analytical, based on the main works of these figures in studying maudhu’’ hadith and its authenticity. The results of this comparative study of the two contributions indicate that Albani's strict criteria for interpreting hadith are classified as moderate criticism because his validity critical analysis is based on classical scholars' criticism and an evaluation of his research. Meanwhile, Syuhudi Ismail prioritizes the contextual aspect of matn (matan) after successful sanad research. Therefore, the two differ in their approaches to validating the validity of hadith.

Abstract

Scholars of hadith from the Salaf period generally preferred hadiths with a minimal number of narrators in the isnad, known as 'ālī hadiths. This preference was partly due to the reduction of potential distortion in transmission associated with fewer narrators. It is evident that the 'ālī isnad was regarded as significant by hadith scholars during the early period. However, the importance of the 'ālī isnad following the codification of hadith has not been sufficiently examined. This study aims to ascertain whether the 'ālī isnad retained any significance after the period of hadith codification, with particular attention to the ninth century. Focusing on the work of Ibn Hajar al-Ahādīth al-‘Ashrah al-‘Ushāriyyah, this research endeavors to demonstrate the high status attributed to the chain of narration within that text, as asserted by the author. By tracing contemporary reports (tābi’ and shāhid) related to the hadiths included by Ibn Hajar, it is possible to reconstruct the attitudes of scholars in the ninth century towards high chains (‘ālī). Consequently, this study aims to reveal the perception of high chains during that period, both theoretically and practically. Furthermore, the research indicates that the transmission of hadiths persisted even when not all were documented in written sources, in contrast to practices observed in earlier periods
