Abstract

Abstract: This writing studies the ideas of renewed skepticism of Michael Cook and of Norman Calder to the prophetic hadith and to the validity of common link theory. By using the method of comparative analysis, it is found that Cook and Calder are highly skeptical to the prophetic hadith and to the validity of common link theory. Cook and Calder's skepticism even exceed Goldziher's and Schacht's skepticism. Cook and Calder say that common link phenomenon did not indicate that a certain hadith is originated from a key or a common transmitter, but it is the result of a different scenario of the spread of isnād and the result of competition of isnād criticism in the schools of Islamic law (madzāhib) in early Islamic society. Both Cook and Calder hesitate the truth and the validity of common link theory. Therefore, according to them, common link method cannot be used to trace the origin, provenance, and authorship of early hadith.Abstrak: Tulisan ini mengkaji ide-ide neo skeptisisme Michael Cook dan Norman Calder terhadap hadis Muhammad. dan terhadap validitas teori common link. Dengan menggunakan metode analisa komparatif, ditemukan bahwa Cook dan Calder sangat skeptis terhadap hadis Nabi Muhammad. Terhadap validitas teori common link. Skeptisisme Cook dan Calder bahkan melebihi skeptisisme Goldziher dan Schacht. Cook dan Calder berpendapat bahwa fenomena common link tidak menunjukkan bahwa sebuah hadis tertentu itu bersumber dari seorang periwayat kunci atau periwayat bersama, tetapi ia merupakan akibat dari skenario yang berbeda mengenai penyebaran isnād dan akibat dari kompetisi isnād di berbagai aliran fikih Islam (madhāhib) dalam masyarakat Islam awal. Baik Cook dan Calder sama-sama meragukan kebenaran dan validitas teori common link. Oleh karena itu, menurut mereka, metode common link tidak dapat digunakan untuk menelusuri asal mula, sumber dan ke­pengarangan hadis di masa awal.

Abstract

The dating of hadith remains a contested frontier in the academic study of early Islam. G.H.A. Juynboll, refining Joseph Schacht’s legacy, advanced the common link theory, which treats the convergence point of transmission chains as the historical originator and probable fabricator of a tradition, while dismissing single strands as fictitious. This article reconstructs Harald Motzki’s methodological critique of that theory as articulated in Whither Hadith-Studies? and Dating Muslim Traditions, and subjects both positions to a dialectical reading. Using a qualitative library-research design with content, comparative, and interpretive analysis of primary sources, the study maps the scholarly factions involved and isolates the first principles on which each argument rests. The findings show that Juynboll’s identification of the common link with a forger relies on an argumentum e silentio and on a statistically unrealistic model of branching transmission, whereas Motzki reframes the common link as the first systematic collector and professional teacher, and grounds dating in the correlation of isnad and  matn. The article further argues that the isnad-cum- matn method does not escape critique, since it confronts a structural circularity that recent scholarship has termed a principle of uncertainty. The contribution lies in offering Indonesian hadith studies a non-apologetic synthesis that neither absolutizes skepticism nor treats Motzki’s rebuttal as a closed verdict
