STRUKTUR HADIS: SANAD, RAWI, DAN MATAN

Abstract

Hadith is the second source of Islamic teachings after the Koran. Its position is very significant, because it functions as an explanation and reinforcement of the Al-Qur'an as well as establishing Sharia law, something that is stipulated in the Al-Qur'an. In hadith there are three important elements, namely sanad (path of narration), rawi (narrator) and matan (text/material). To understand sanad and rawi more deeply, there are several related scientific disciplines, including IIm Rijal al-Hadis, IIm Tabaqat al-Ruwah, ilm Tarih al-Ruwat and Jarh Wa Ta'dil. Meanwhile, the sciences that discuss matan hadith include the science of garib al-hadith, al-Faiq fi Garib and tawaikh al-mutun. The scientific disciplines that study or are related to sanad and matan include the sciences of Ilal al-Hadis and al Zahr al-Ma'lul li al-Khabar al-M'lul. With these scientific tools, understanding of the rules of sanad, rawi and matan hadith is getting better, as well as the validity and originality of a hadith can be accounted for.
