Abstract

This study explores the contribution of Muhammad Mustafa Azami in responding to Orientalist critiques of the authenticity of hadith as a primary source of Islamic teachings. In contemporary Islamic studies, hadith has often been the target of criticism, particularly by Western Orientalists such as Joseph Schacht, who argued that hadith was a fabrication by later Muslim scholars rather than originating from the Prophet Muhammad himself. Such views have undermined the authority of hadith and shifted its central role in Islamic epistemology. Azami, a renowned hadith scholar and academic, systematically refuted these claims through his seminal works, including Studies in Early Hadith Literature and On Schacht’s Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence. He challenged the Orientalist methodology and demonstrated that both the isnad (chain of transmission) and matn (content) of hadith were preserved and codified with rigorous scholarly discipline since the earliest generations of Islam. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature review methods to analyze Azami’s arguments. The findings reveal that Azami not only reaffirmed the authenticity of hadith but also strengthened its standing in global academic discourse. His contributions significantly defend the integrity of Islamic scholarly tradition and foster a more balanced dialogue between classical Islamic and contemporary Western approaches.

Abstract

The study of hadith in the Islamic scientific tradition often focuses on the authenticity of sanad and matan, but does not pay attention to the historical context and ethical values contained behind the words and actions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Fazlur Rahman's approach through the concept of Double Movement offers an interpretive framework that combines the understanding of the context of the emergence of the hadith with the withdrawal of universal moral principles that can be applied to contemporary reality. This study aims to analyze the relevance and contribution of this approach in developing a more responsive interpretation of hadith to modern social dynamics. This research uses a qualitative-hermeneutic method with literature study techniques, involving an in-depth analysis of Rahman's primary works as well as relevant hadith literature and contemporary studies. The data was analyzed by tracing the relationship between the hadith texts, their historical context, and the rationalization of moral values produced through the double movement of interpretation. The results of the study show that this approach is effective in bridging the gap between normative texts and the ethical needs of today's society. The double movement approach allows for a more substantive reconstruction of the meaning of the hadith, resulting in an understanding that does not stop at the literal level, but moves towards applicable moral principles. These findings confirm that Rahman's hermeneutic methodology has contributed significantly to the development of contemporary hadith studies, particularly in the context of ethical ijtihad and the renewal of Islamic thought.

Abstract

Debt is one form of muamalah permitted in Islam. It serves as an economic activity conducted by individuals to fulfill their needs. Islam provides clear guidelines and laws regarding debt, including the obligation to repay debts on time. This study aims to discuss hadiths on debt, focusing on the legal ruling concerning delaying debt repayment by those capable of paying, with reference to Hadith Bukhari No. 2400. The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach by collecting data from hadith compilations, commentaries (syarh), classical and contemporary fiqh books, as well as scholarly journals. The analysis involves stages of takhrij, sanad criticism, matan criticism, and commentary (syarh) discussion. The findings reveal that the hadith is authentic (sahih) in terms of both sanad and matan, emphasizing the legal implication that delaying debt repayment without a valid reason constitutes an act of injustice. This research highlights the importance of timely debt repayment as a trust in Islam, contributing to the development of fiqh muamalah literature and supporting a fair and responsible Islamic legal system.
