Kritik atas Penelitian Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī terhadap Ḥadīth yang Dinilai Ḍa‘īf dalam al-Jāmi‘ al-Ṣaḥīḥ Karya Muslim b. Ḥajjāj al-Naysābūrī

Abstract

This article tries to re-read the results of research conducted by Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī against the ḥadīths in al-Jāmi‘ al-Ṣaḥīḥ by Muslim b. al-Ḥajāj al-Naysābūrī. He has considered weak (ḍa‘īf) against the twenty hadith contained in the al-Jāmi‘ al-Ṣaḥīḥ either due to problems related to the integrity and credibility of the narrator in the course of his treasures (sanad) as well as concerning the authenticity problem of hadith texts (matn). The results of the study show that his research contains many errors due to the lack of careful understanding of the pronunciations used by the ḥadīth critics when conducting a review of the abovementioned narrative. In addition, al-Albānī also lacked the extra attention in analyzing the status of the narrators assessed jarḥ and ta‘dīl, so erroneously in concluding the status of narrator. It seems, he does not understand the difference of pronunciation of the ḥadīth, ignores the sharḥ of the ḥadīth, and ignores the other hadiths as a comparison in conducting research.
