This study aims to investigate a hadith
(prophetic tradition) whether it is acceptable or
unacceptable based on the trustworthiness and
weaknesses of narrator in the hadith scholars
view. The issues arise when numerous of hadith
are found not supported by references, resources
and status. This study allows us to make an
assessment from the point of acceptance to the
hadiths which are carried by a person whether
authenticated (sahih), weak (da’if), or fabricated
(mawdu’) and from its sources and references.
This study focuses on the study of hadith
literature which will be analyzed individually to
determine its validity. This science is the
cornerstones in the field of hadith as a science
that very important for us to know the status of a
hadith. By using descriptive analysis
methodology this study aims and expected as
contribution to the Muslim community because
the people often use hadith without explaining
the status. The study found that most of the
Hadiths that have been documented are not
specified in term of source and status.
The existence of this science could help
the public to understand how the precision of
hadith scholars in maintaining the authority of
hadith as the second foundational source after
the Qur’an should be guarded.
