AbstractOne of the key terms employed in showing the connection between jarh wa ta’dÄ«l discourse and Islamic sectarianism issues is bid’ah “heresy†and al-mubtadi’ “heretic transmitterâ€. Start on preliminary introduction to bid’ah conception in the context of jarḥ wa ta’dÄ«l, this article discusses Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄni’s notions about the concept of heresy (bid’ah) and validity of heretic transmitter (riwÄyat al-mubtadi’). Ibṇ Hajar was choosed here as the exponent of culmination in “ulÅ«m al-hadÄ«tḣ†discourse in which the bid’ah notion was arguably reconsidered along with the still-functioning Islamic sectarianism polemic. It deals finally with “kafir†claims (takfÄ«r) as the so-called “theological weapon†to blame others.Keywords; Ibnu Hajar al-‘AsqalÄni, bid’ah, dan riwÄyat al-mubtadi’
