Harald Motzki's View on Ḥadīth Authenticity (Analysis Study Of CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Research Background The attempt to keep h}adi>th to be always true is fundamental thing because its position is very significant as second foundation of Muslim life. Ḥadi>th as its role in Islam is to be supportive and commentary of al-Qur’a>n, or be independent guidance in producing principles. 1 Therefore, h}adi>th is something cannot be separated in Muslim’s way of life. Muslim scholars always carefully deliver h}adi>th from the Prophet Muh}ammad as in his utterance from al-Mughi>ra: 2 إ ِ ٍ ٍ ِ ِ ْ ِ ِ. ن َﻛﺬﺑًﺎ َ ﻋﻠَ ﻲ ﻟَْﻴ َﺲ َﻛ َﻜﺬب َ ﻋﻠَﻰ أَ َﺣﺪ َ ﻣ ْﻦ َﻛﺬ َب َ ﻋﻠَ ﻲ ُﻣَﺘـَﻌﻤًﺪا َﻓـْﻠﻴَﺘََﺒـﻮأ َﻣْﻘَﻌَﺪﻩ ُ ﻣ َﻦ اﻟﻨﺎر “The lie about me is not like lying about others, whoever did lying about me intentionally; let him prepare a place in the hellfire!” This is warning for Muslim not to lie in informing h}adi>th from the Prophet. This was the Prophet mean for his followers to keep h}adi>th genuinely. When fitna era 3 had been occurred, Muslim scholars gave more attention and carefully selected h}adi>th from their informants by speaking to them: “mention all your transmitters! ” as well as their enthusiasm to travel in order to collect h}adi>th as much as possible they can when al-Zuhri began to codify h}adi>th in Umayyad era. 4 In that era, the chain of transmitters was really considered as crucial part to justify the reliability of h}adi>th. 1 M. ‘Ajja>j al-Kha>t}ib, Us}u>l al-H{adi>th ‘Ulu>muhu> wa Mus}t}ala>h}uhu> (Beirut: Da>r al-Fikr, 2009), p. 34 2 See S}ah}i>h} al-Bukha>ri on Chapter Ma> Yukrohu min al-Niya>h}a ‘ala> al-Mayyit no. 1229 3 It happened after the murder of Uthma>n bin ‘Affa>n until the murder of al-H{usein bin ‘Ali which was followed by raising of sects in politic background, see Ali Mustafa Yakub, Kritik Hadis (Jakarta: Pustaka Firdaus, 2004) , pp. 82-83 4 Ahmad Umar hasyim, al-Sunna al-Nabawiyya fi Muwa>jaha>t al-Tah}addi> (Beirut: Mansyurat al-Maktabat al-Ashriyyat, 1980), p.19 1 2 Observation around the authenticity of h}adi>th through certain critic Method is never end activity which is conducted not only by Muslim scholars but also external researchers (non-Muslim). 5 Long time ago, Muslim Scholars conducted critic of h}adi>th which is systematically written down in ‘ulu >m al- h}adi>th . According to them, a h}adi>th will be able to be judged as an authentic h}adi>th if the five requirements of authenticity are completed, they are: chain of transmitters must be interconnected, ‘ ada>la al-ruwa>t, d}abt} al-ruwa>t , there is no sha>dh, and ‘illa .6 Since first century until thirteenth Islamic century, the requirements of authenticity were practically used by Muslim scholars, especially by h}adi>th experts on selecting and criticizing h}adi>th.7 Almost all of the works written about ‘ulu>m al-h}adi>th is influenced by three main scholars; al-Sha>fi‘i, al-Kha>t}ib, and Ibn al-S{ala>h}. They are founding fathers of the branches of ‘ulu>m al-h}adi>th through their works which inspired paradigm of ‘ulu>m al-h}adi>th later. 8 Al-Sha>fi‘i as the elder founder doesn’t have a work that talks about ‘ulu>m al-h}adi>th independently, but his thought can be found among his works, such as al-Risa>la and al-Umm , collaborating with us}u>l, fiqh and ḥadi>th.9 Nowadays, trend of h}adi>th analysis is a method that is determined to refer and verify a h}adi>th to the canonical of h}adi>th collection in order to know authenticity of the h}adi>th, knowingly called as takhri>j al-h}adi>th .10 Study of h}adi>th surrounding Middle East and Indonesia conducted this method. 11 In this 5 Wahyudin Darmalaksana, Hadis di Mata Orientalis (Bandung: Benang Merah Press, 2004), p. 8 6 Combination of both d}abt} and ‘ada>la can be called as thiqa .

Retrieved on February 10 th , 2013 from http://islamlib.com/id/artikel/diskursus-hadis-di-jerman 3 type of method, someone can search location of a h}adi>th through some ways based on the book of h}adi>th that is used. In takhri>j al-h}adi>th , according to ‘Abd al-Mahdi, h}adi>th can be found its location by knowing first letter of that h}adi>th, a word in content of h}adi>th, first transmitter (companion of the Prophet), the theme, or kind of h}adi>th. 12 So, firstly, someone has to know kinds of the books of h}adi>th, how is the arrangement method that is used by each author of the books of h}adi>th, and the canonical h}adi>th collection. H{adi>th studies in the West were very different fundamentally from study of h}adi>th around Muslim scholars in Middle East and Indonesia. While the Muslim Scholars emphasize their study in takhri>j al-h}adi>th , Western scholars concerning in Islamic Studies, especially in h}adi>th, discuss dating method and how to reconstruct the history of events which is supposed to be happened in early Islam. 13 Although their views show that they are in different perception from Muslim scholars, their study will be useful in academic perspective, because they point out the weaknesses of Islamic studies. So, enthusiasm in Islamic studies will revive, especially in improving the discourses to be better. Study about sources and historicity of h}adi>th in early Islam call Western scholars into question about what and how far the reliability of narrative texts of h}adi>th from the Prophet and early Islamic generations historically is. In the beginning phase of Western studies, they show that h}adi>th literatures and traditions from the Prophet and early Islamic generations were reliable. But since 14 second half of nineteenth century, skepticism raised. 12 ‘Abd al-Mahdi, T{uruq Takhri>j H{adi>th Rasu>l Alla>h (n.p.: Da>r al-I’tis}a>m, n.d.), p. 24 13 Kamarudin Amin, loc. cit. 14 Kamarudin Amin, n.d., Problematika Ulumul Hadis, Sebuah Upaya Pencarian Metodologi Alternatif.

It will make consequence of the rise of skepticism around early Islamic literary, especially literary of h}adi>th. 15 They think that the setting of socio-culture nowadays is extremely different from ideal condition in the Prophet era. Therefore, they need a ways in proving the authenticity of h}adi>th. One other thing is by analyzing and investigating the development of h}adi>th literary as main point to know the process of h}adi>th transmission by writing since the Prophet era. In the objective standard, the works of Western sholars can’t be underestimated. Through scientific method applied in arrangements of dictionary and encyclopedia, they have taken a big part in enrichment of Islamic literary through some works in all kinds of subject fields, especially in h}adi>th. 16 H{adi>th studies in the West were begun by Aloys Sprenger (d. 1893) that showed his skepticism about h}adi>th. Sprenger’s view was followed by William Muir until the great scholar, Ignaz Goldziher (1850-1921), come through his masterpiece, Muhammedanische Studien (published in 1890), which became main inspiration for the scholars later, such as Leone Caetani, Henry Lammens, John Wansbrough, Patrcia Crone and Michael Cook. The work of Goldziher seemed doesn’t revise significantly among Western scholars. 17 About h}adi>th, Goldziher refuses criteria and qualifications of authentic h}adi>th. So, he is always in doubt (skeptic) about authenticity of h}adi>th until the raising of Joseph Schacht through his masterpiece, The Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence , in 1950. 18 Schacht is considered as one of great skeptical Western scholars that constructs his thought carefully and detailed in h}adi>th research during ten years. His view justifies that there is no authentic h}adi>th as in his statement, “ we shall not meet any legal tradition from the Prophet which can be considered 15 M.M.

  • The Qur'an Made Linear: a Study of the Geschichte Des Qorâns
    The Qur’an Made Linear: A Study of the Geschichte des Qorâns’ Chronological Reordering Emmanuelle Stefanidis UNIVERSITY OF PARIS 8 Introduction How is the Qur’an to be read and studied? What organising principle and reading code should be used? Through which (legitimate) ways is its indeterminate dimension to be limited? Though questions relating to the referentiality of texts, to the degree of textual autonomy, or the issue of the ultimate location of meaning are central in all literary and hermeneutical endeavours, they seem particularly crucial to the study of the Islamic scripture. The Qur’an can be appropriately described as an ‘open’ text: a text whose loose structure and multifaceted content strongly invite the reader to participate in the creation of meaning.1 Its often allusive character combined with the absence of a constraining narrative framework allows the reader to suggest unlimited meaning combinations, and experiment with different reading itineraries. This article is concerned with one particular way of reading and exploiting the Qur’an’s textual richness which has affected and shaped the field of Qur’anic studies for over a century. Orientalist efforts to uncover the original chronological reordering of the Muslim sacred text started in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the publication of Gustav Weil’s Historisch-kritische Einleitung in den Koran in 1844.2 Of the four other Orientalist chronological arrangements of the Qur’an which followed,3 that of Theodor Nöldeke in his Geschichte des Qorâns (1860)4 was soon to become authoritative. As such, it was deemed to deserve a full revision, begun in 1909 by Nöldeke’s student Friedrich Schwally, which resulted in a three volume edition and secured its seminal status.

Rubb: Some prefer to translate the term 'Rubb' into 'Lord.' Beside the fact that the latter is a Biblical term referring to the alleged lordship of the slave of Allah, Prophet Jesus, the word ‘lord’ which is limited to ‘master', 'chief', ‘proprietor’, or 'ruler', can never convey the conclusive signification of the term 'Rubb'. Among other signification, the term 'Rubb' means, the Creator, the Fashioner, the Provider, the One upon Whom all creatures depend for their means of subsistence, and the One Who gives life and causes death. 2. Deen: The word translated as religion is 'Deen', which in Arabic commonly refers to a way of life, which is both private and public. It is an inclusive term meaning: acts of worship, political practice, and a detailed code of conduct, including hygiene or etiquette matters.

Within the Islamic tradition, in fact, information about Solomon was not only found in the Qurʾān, but it was also gathered over time in a series of commentaries, compendia, and other learned works that incorporate material not too dissimilar from that in the haggadot seen before. Most relevant, in this case, are the compilations known as Qiṣaṣ al-Anbiyāʾ , or The Tales of the Prophets,1 1 For a synthetical list of entries on Solomon, drawn from these sources, see for instance Brannon Wheeler, Prophets in the Qurʾān: an Introduction to the Qurʾān and Muslim Exegesis (London-New York: A&C Black, 2002), 266–79. In general, on the various cultural and literary influences on the Qurʾān, see Abraham Geiger, Was hat Muhammad aus dem Judenthum aufgenommen?

  • Matn Criticism and Its Role in the Evaluation of Hadith Authenticity

One of their reasons is that the traditional hadith criticism only examines the chain of narrations (sanad) of hadith reports and ignores the content (matn) of the hadith. This essay will discuss the role of matn criticism in the authentication of hadith; whether it is included in the traditional method of ‘ulūm al-ḥadīth or not, and if so, what is the criteria and how the scholars apply them. INTRODUCTION Hadith is reports of the words, actions, tacit approvals or disapprovals of Prophet Muhammad. It is also called the Sunnah, which is the second source of Islamic teachings after the al-Qur’an. In fact, the detail aspects of Islamic law, theology, and morals are found in the hadith. However, unlike the al-Qur’an, not all hadith that exist and spread among Muslims are authentic.
