Abstract

The type of arba‘ūn (forty) hadith books began to increase in quantity and variety after the 5th century AH/11th century AD. For example, there is a genre of arba‘ūn hadith that contains 40 hadiths related to their place of origin, their teachers, and the place where they narrated the hadith called al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah. Research on al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah is still largely focused on the work of Yāsīn al-Fādānī related to the method, takhrīj of hadith, and its comparison with other books. In addition, the study of al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah shows an even pattern of narration in central and peripheral areas that needs to be studied and considered. This study will discuss how the writing method and the scientific network of hadith in al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah. The practice of narrating and writing hadith from the major traditions (Makkah-Medina and other centers such as Khurasan, Iraq, Nishapur, Sham, and other peripheral areas) converges to be narrated in al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah, which is a response from the authors to the shared tradition (core aspects) in hadith studies. These three books of al-arba‘ūn al-buldāniyyah function as a geographical map of hadith narration that illustrates how vast and vibrant the post-canonical hadith network is. The phenomenon of living hadith in searching for a narration network is no longer focused on the central region, but extends to peripheral areas that are no longer considered as marginal traditions, faced with the major tradition, but are equally as traditions worthy of consideration.

Abstract

Advances in hadith studies have proliferated through diverse new approaches, yet this growth has not been matched by systematic mapping of the Arabic-language literature underpinning it. Such an imbalance creates a disconnect between thematic and methodological innovation in academic production and the actual composition of Arabic hadith collections held in libraries. This study maps characteristics and tendencies within such collections, treating them as a representation of referential sources for hadith scholarship. A qualitative descriptive method grounded in library research was applied. Primary data comprise Arabic hadith books published between 2012 and 2015 and held at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Library, compiled through systematic inventory and classified according to their scholarly characteristics. Among 13 identified titles, hadith compilations dominate with six works, followed by hadith discourse with five and ʿulūm al-ḥadīth with two. Publication dates cluster heavily around 2012, which accounts for eight titles, while 2013 contributes three, and 2014 and 2015 each add one. This distribution indicates that the collection largely sustains continuity of hadith literature as textual source material rather than tracking the diversification evident in contemporary hadith discourse. Although thematic, methodological, and conceptual works appear within the collection, they fall short of capturing the full range of developments characterizing hadith studies during this period. These findings expose a persistent gap between the dynamism of hadith scholarship and the referential literature available in libraries. Shifting research orientations have outpaced corresponding changes in library holdings, leaving Arabic literature collections available to the academic community still catching up with the field's evolving scope.

Abstract

Academic discourse on hadith qudsi has predominantly been shaped by approaches centered on isnad criticism and the legal-formal verification of its authoritative status, leaving its inherent spiritual-thematic dimension critically underexplored. This article analyzes four qudsi hadiths themed maḥabbah (love) and qurb (servant-God closeness) from the book al-Ittiḥāfāt al-Saniyyah bi al-Aḥādīth al-Qudsiyyah by al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Munāwī. These hadiths include the hadith of Allah's wali, the hadith of a servant's presumption, the hadith of approaching by a handspan, and the hadith of loving for the sake of Allah. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, the four hadiths are read through the framework of psychological well-being by Carol D. Ryff. This step is taken to map how the concepts of maḥabbah and qurb in Islamic theology can serve as a psycho-spiritual solution that correlates with the dimensions of psychological well-being, such as purpose in life, self-acceptance, personal growth, and positive relations with others. The research findings show that these four hadiths offer a responsive and tiered God-servant relational model, wherein even the smallest spiritual effort is responded to manifold by Allah. Such a narrative structure is conceptually aligned with the principles of psychological well-being in contemporary psychology literature. This article contributes to the enrichment of qudsi hadith studies from a thematic perspective while offering a conceptual bridge between classical hadith theology and the discourse on mental health and psychological well-being of modern humans.

Abstract

This study examines how hadiths concerning God, angels, and divine decree construct epistemic authority within Sunni and Shi’a traditions and how their theological convergence remains constrained by different mechanisms of interpretation. The study employs a qualitative method using library research with a descriptive-analytical-comparative approach. Primary data were purposively selected from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, and al-Kāfī, focusing on representative reports within the three thematic clusters, while Mir’āt al-‘Uqūl and classical Qur’anic commentaries serve as interpretive sources. Data were analyzed through historical-critical contextualization, Reisigl and Wodak’s Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), and Ricoeur’s hermeneutics, particularly the dialectic of distanciation and appropriation. The findings demonstrate that both traditions converge at the level of fundamental metaphysical principles, particularly divine transcendence, angelic existence, and divine determination, yet diverge in the mechanisms through which epistemic authority is established. Sunni discourse tends to articulate truth through relational praxis, ritual participation, and religious experience, whereas Shi’a discourse emphasizes ontological consistency and the epistemic authority of the Imam. The study argues that Sunni-Shi’a overlap is multilayered rather than identical. Consequently, critical theological dialogue requires recognition of shared principles without erasing the historical and discursive asymmetries through which each tradition authorizes knowledge of the unseen.

Abstract

Digital information verification has thus far been confined to content assessment, neglecting the authenticity of source identity, precisely the element currently being fabricated by deepfake technology. This gap underlies the present study's attempt to reconstruct the principle of al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl into a digital identity criticism model. To address this gap, a qualitative method using a grounded theory approach is employed to develop a conceptual framework for the transformation of al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl from a method of narrator credibility criticism into a framework for digital identity criticism in verifying deepfake hoaxes. Data were collected through documentation techniques, namely inventorying, closely reading, recording, classifying, and comparing documents according to themes relevant to the research focus, and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive model of Miles et al., encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that the reconstruction of al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl broadens the scope of hadith criticism, extending it from evaluating narrator credibility to criticizing source authenticity and credibility within an artificial-intelligence-based digital information ecosystem. 'Adālah and ḍabṭ are shown to possess a more fundamental epistemological function, extending beyond their conventional role as classical criteria for the acceptance of narrators (rāwī). This function further signals a fundamental shift in the structure of informational authority, which in turn gives rise to a model of digital identity criticism grounded in the principles of al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl. As its principal contribution, digital identity criticism is formulated as a conceptual and methodological development within hadith studies, repositioning the function of al-jarḥ wa al-ta'dīl from criticizing narrator credibility toward an epistemological framework for evaluating synthetic sources in the deepfake era.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis is inseparable from an anthropocentric paradigm that reduces nature to an object of exploitation and obscures humanity’s place within a sacred web of life. Addressing this crisis requires a critical re-examination of Islamic textual traditions, particularly Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, which contains teachings on tree planting, humane treatment of animals, and moderation in water use that may provide a textual foundation for Green Sufism. Against this backdrop, the study examines four ecological hadiths from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī by relating them to four Sufi values (tawḥīd, zuhd, mīzān, and khalīfah) to formulate an Islamic environmental ethic. Adopting a qualitative library-research design, the analysis combines basic takhrīj, readings of classical commentaries, particularly Fatḥ al-Bārī, and Sufi hermeneutics through an integrated exoteric–esoteric reading of thematically selected (mawḍūʿī) hadiths. Such an approach reveals a coherent Sufi-ecological ethos underlying teachings on tree planting, animal welfare, water conservation, and human stewardship. Nature emerges as āyāt Allah, resource use is framed by self-restraint; ecological relations are governed by balance (mīzān) and compassion (raḥmah); and human stewardship constitutes a divine trust (amānah). By establishing a direct conceptual link between Sufi values and Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, this study advances a hadith-based framework of Sufi environmental ethics. It highlights its implications for Islamic education, particularly in framing ecological stewardship as an integral dimension of worship. Green Sufism, therefore, rests on a substantial textual foundation within the hadith tradition rather than merely constituting a contemporary theoretical discourse.
