The criticism of Abu Ali al-Ghassani towards Sahih al-Bukhari in his work "Al-Tanbih 'ala al-Awham al-Waqi'ah fi al-Musnadain al-Sahihain" is the focus of this research. Al-Ghassani, a hadith scholar, critiques Sahih al-Bukhari, particularly regarding errors in the attribution of narrators. The critical method used by al-Ghassani is the analysis of sanad, referring to sources such as Tārīkh al-Kabīr by al-Bukhari and the views of other hadith critics. The research findings indicate inconsistencies in the attribution of narrators and the possibility of 'illat (hidden defects) in some sanads of Sahih al-Bukhari. This study adopts a library research approach, referring to relevant literature. The literature used is descriptive and incorporates theories related to the criticism of hadith literature and sanad analysis. The article concludes that al-Ghassani's criticism represents a practice of critical thinking towards the works of earlier hadith scholars. However, it is noted that the sources of criticism by al-Ghassani are limited to a few references, resulting in a somewhat superficial critique due to the scarcity of data used as the basis for his criticism.
