KODIFIKASI HADIST DAN PERKEMBANGANNYA: KAJIAN SEJARAH, TOKOH-TOKOH DAN KITAB-KITAB INDUK HADIST

Abstract

The development of hadith literature occurred through a long process of recording, compilation, and systematic arrangement of hadith into various reference works in Islamic studies. Differences in these stages and methods resulted in diverse characteristics of hadith books, making an understanding of the history of codification, prominent scholars, and major hadith collections important. This study aims to examine the development of hadith codification, identify the scholars who contributed to the process, and explain the characteristics of major hadith collections, particularly the Kutub al-Sittah. This study employs a library research method using relevant journal articles and scholarly literature as its primary sources. The analysis applies an epistemological perspective on hadith by examining the concepts of kit?bah, tadw?n, and ta?n?f, as well as the orientation and systematic arrangement of hadith collections. The findings indicate that hadith codification developed gradually from individual recording activities to more systematic compilation and classification. This development was closely related to the contributions of hadith scholars who produced works with different methods and scholarly orientations. The Kutub al-Sittah demonstrates diverse characteristics in terms of organization, scope, and methods of compilation. The study indicates that understanding major hadith collections requires attention to their historical development and methodological characteristics.
