Otentisitas Hadîth Mutawâtir dalam Teori Common Link G.H.A. Juynboll
Abstract: Almost all Muslims
agree that an authentic prophetic tradition (hadîth) is that which comes
directly from the Prophet. A tradition such as this—like the Qur’ân—is reliable
in terms of its chain of narration and message. Hence, it brings legal and
moral implication for the Muslims to apply in their daily life. In the science
of prophetic tradition, such tradition is called darûrî, literally means
compulsory in the sense that it necessitates Muslims to comply. Different sort
of view however, is being introduced by an orientalist named G.H.A. Juynboll.
He comes up with an entirely different view concerning an authentic prophetic
tradition both in terms of its category and definition. He reckons that there
is no such thing as an authentic prophetic tradition. Every prophetic tradition
is vague, and falls therefore under the category of being inauthentic. This
paper is interested in dealing critically with this controversial view by
giving particular attention to four main issues; the issue of definition,
criteria, the number of narrators, and the rationale of a prophetic tradition
to be deemed authentic.
