Analisis Hadis Dalam Kitab Hidayatul Muta'allim Karya Sheikh Ahmad Bin Yusuf Al-fatoni

This study examines the status of hadiths found in Hidāyat al-Mutaʿallim by Sheikh Ahmad bin Yusuf al-Fāṭānī, particularly within the context of Jawi manuscripts or kitab kuning authored by Malay scholars. The primary focus is to analyze hadiths considered to be fabricated (mawḍūʿ) in this work through the process of takhrīj and evaluation according to the principles of hadith science. The study adopts a content analysis approach, critically assessing both the chains of transmission (isnād) and the text (matn) of the hadiths. The findings reveal that there are 12 weak (ḍaʿīf) hadiths cited in Hidāyat al-Mutaʿallim. Although weak hadiths may still be used in the context of virtuous deeds (faḍāʾil al-aʿmāl), their appearance in significant numbers within a single topic can elevate their collective status to ḥasan (acceptable). Therefore, it is essential for scholars compiling religious texts to refer to authenticated sources of hadith to ensure textual integrity and reliability.
