Abstract

This paper examines matters related to the growth and bookkeeping of hadith in the 3rd century AH which is the pinnacle of science. This article discusses several things including the meaning of codification, the activities of hadith scholars, the codification pattern of hadith. The preparation of hadith books was not very significant during the time of the Companions because it was feared that the Qur'an and the hadith would be mixed. It was only in the 2nd century that it was written because there were many false hadiths circulating. And continued in the 3rd century which was a golden age in bookkeeping because of the development of the bookkeeping of the hadith. The method used is library research, which is a literature study with a historical approach. The results of the study show that in the 3rd century AH the development of hadith codification was the peak and became the golden age of science with the existence of books that emerged such as sahih Bukhari.

Abstract

The analysis of the terms al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil is an integral part of the study of hadith in the Islamic tradition. Al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil is a critical method used to assess the reliability of the hadith rawi-rawi, with the aim of determining whether the hadith conveyed by them is acceptable or not. This research aims to explore the concepts, methodologies, and implications of al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil in the context of Islamic science. This study reveals that al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil is not just a rawi assessment, but also reflects the efforts of hadith scholars to maintain the integrity and authority of hadith as a source of law in Islam. Criteria such as honesty, intelligence, memory, and morality are the main focus in the assessment of rawi. The methodology used involves a careful analysis of the rabbi's life history, a critical approach to their statements, and comparisons with other sources. By understanding well the principles of al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil, we can strengthen our understanding of the validity of hadith and ensure the continuity of the scientific heritage in the Islamic tradition.

Abstract

Madrasah hadis di Mekkah dan Madinah memiliki peran signifikan dalam sejarah Islam sebagai pusat penyebaran ilmu hadis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas sejarah perkembangan, karakteristik unik, dan kontribusi madrasah hadis di dua kota suci tersebut terhadap transmisi ilmu hadis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research dengan pendekatan historis-analitis, mengandalkan data dari kitab klasik dan karya ilmiah modern. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa madrasah hadis di Mekkah berfokus pada pengajaran berbasis halaqah di Masjidil Haram, dengan pengaruh budaya lokal yang lebih fleksibel. Sementara itu, madrasah hadis di Madinah berkembang di Masjid Nabawi dengan penekanan pada sanad yang lebih ketat dan metodologi riwayah-dirayah. Kedua madrasah ini berperan dalam menjaga keaslian hadis dan membangun jaringan ulama di berbagai wilayah Islam. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya madrasah hadis sebagai fondasi dalam disiplin ilmu hadis sekaligus model pendidikan keislaman

Abstract

This study examines the condition of Arab society during the time of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH with a focus on social, political, economic, cultural, and religious aspects. Through a historical-sociological approach, this study aims to analyze the characteristics, structure, and dynamics of pre-Islamic Arab society to the early period of Islamic development. The research method used is a literature study by analyzing primary and secondary sources about the history of Arab society. The results of the study show that pre-Islamic Arab societies had a social structure based on a tribal system (qabilah) with values such as group solidarity ('asabiyyah), courage (muru'ah), and generosity (karam). Politically, there is no central authority that binds the entire Arabian peninsula, but rather is divided into autonomous tribal powers. Economically, Arab society relied on limited trade, livestock, and agriculture, with Mecca being an important trading center. In the religious aspect, the majority of Arabs adhere to polytheism, although there are also Jewish, Christian, and hanif (monotheistic) communities. The transformation of Arab society through the da'wah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took place gradually, with fundamental changes in the value system, social structure, law, and culture. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the sociohistorical context of the emergence of Islam and the resulting societal transformation.

Abstract

The region of Sham, which includes Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan, has an important role in Islamic history, particularly in the development of hadith science. This study aims to explore the role and characteristics of hadith madrassas in Syam by using the library research method. The results of the study show that Sham is the center of blessings as mentioned in the verses of the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet. The companions, such as Mu'adz bin Jabal, Abu Darda, and Ubadah bin Shamit, played an important role in building the hadith madrassa in Sham, followed by the contributions of tabi'in and atba' tabi'in scholars. The hadith madrassa in Sham has its uniqueness, such as the beginning of hadith bookkeeping, the development of hadith criticism, and the lack of hadith forgery in the early days. However, the tradition of narrating hadith without sanad is also a challenge that is then improved through the innovation of scholars such as al-Auza'i and al-Zuhri. Thus, the hadith madrasah in Syam is not only a center of learning but also contributes significantly to maintaining the authenticity of the hadith, making it one of the important pillars in the history of Islamic science.

Abstract

This article discusses the Common Link theory developed by G.H.A. Juynboll in contemporary hadith studies. This theory, which is a development of Joseph Schacht’s ideas, offers a new perspective in hadith studies by questioning the authenticity and transmission mechanisms of hadith, highlighting the role of a central transmitter in the spread of a sanad, who often becomes the starting point in the construction of a narration. Using a literature review approach, this article analyzes the implications of the Common Link theory on the validity of isnads, matn criticism, and the historicity of the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) hadith, while also applying the theory to specific hadith to demonstrate its practical application. The analysis shows that the Common Link theory has fundamental implications for conventional understandings of the origins and sources of hadith, leading to a reconceptualization of the transmission process and the period of their emergence. Although this theory has been challenged by Muslim scholars such as M.M. Azami—who advocates traditional methods like muqaranah and mu‘aradah—its contribution to contemporary hadith studies cannot be overlooked in shaping a more critical and interdisciplinary approach to hadith literature. The study’s findings suggest that this theory offers a critical framework for evaluating hadith, especially in the context of historical reconstruction and the detection of ideological motives behind their transmission.

Abstract

Thi s study aims to examine comprehensively Kitāb al-Mustadrak ʿalā al-Ṣaḥīḥayn by al-Ḥākim al-Naysābūrī (d. 405 H), one of the most significant works in the hadith corpus, composed with the purpose of completing authentic traditions that were not included in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. The research seeks to explore the background of the book’s compilation, the author’s scholarly profile, al-Ḥākim’s methodology in collecting and evaluating hadiths, as well as the responses of later scholars concerning the authenticity and quality of the narrations contained within. This study employs a qualitative method using a descriptive-analytical approach through a library-based examination of primary and secondary sources, including al-Mustadrak, Talkhīṣ al-Mustadrak by al-Dhahabī, and critical commentaries from both classical and contemporary hadith scholars. The findings indicate that although al-Ḥākim claimed that all hadiths in al-Mustadrak meet the authenticity criteria applied by al-Bukhārī and Muslim, many narrations within the collection have been criticized for their weak chains of transmission and problematic textual content. Nevertheless, the book holds substantial value in hadith studies, particularly as a comparative reference and a critical resource within the classical and modern scholarly traditions. Thus, al-Mustadrak remains an essential work for understanding the dynamics of hadith authenticity, transmission, and criticism throughout Islamic intellectual history.

Abstract

The criterion of al-‘adalah is a fundamental requirement in determining the reliability of hadith transmitters, as it directly relates to a person’s moral and religious integrity in narration. However, interpretations of al-‘adalah vary among classical and contemporary scholars. This study aims to critically analyze the concept of al-‘adalah in hadith studies and assess its relevance in modern scholarly contexts. Using a qualitative-descriptive method with content analysis, this research examines classical hadith scholars such as al-Khatib al-Baghdadi and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, and compares their views with modern perspectives. The findings reveal that al-‘adalah is shaped not only by personal morality but also by social evaluation and the perception of scholarly communities at the time. The study concludes that the standard of al-‘adalah in hadith science is dynamic and requires reinterpretation to remain relevant in assessing hadith authenticity in the modern era, while allowing room for integration between normative and critical approaches.

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of ʿIllat Idraj, one of the subjects in the science of hadith, which refers to a hidden defect involving the insertion of the narrator’s own wording into the text of a hadith, thus causing confusion between the narrator’s words and the original text of the hadith. Idraj constitutes a form of ʿillah that can undermine the quality of a hadith, rendering a narration that appears authentic to actually be weak upon deeper examination. This study explains the definition, classification, and impact of ʿIllat Idraj in determining the authenticity status of hadiths. Examples of hadiths with ʿIllat Idraj are provided to clarify this phenomenon. The method employed is library research, involving critical analysis of both the chain of transmission (isnad) and the content (matan). The findings indicate that understanding ʿIllat Idraj is crucial for verifying the quality of hadiths and for advancing scientific methodology in hadith research.
