Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technology has added new perspectives
to research on the concept of hadith, the meaning and position of hadith, which can also be seen
as an effort to improve, enforce, and preserve hadith among the Muslim community in the online
realm. The results of this study identified two specific mobile applications, namely the Hadith
Encyclopaedia and the Hadith Collection. This research aims to test several mobile applications
that can be used to speed up the learning process and show how simple the verification and
authentication of a hadith is in modern times. Hadith data in both applications is collected
quantitatively. This study finds that several hadith verification features are continuously being
improved on these two mobile applications, including source text, hadith standings, Sanad, and
daily hadith features. All the features are advantageous to learn hadith practically.

In the past study, it was explained that in
the quotations and dissemination of hadiths
that are ongoing in this modern era, it is
known that it is difficult for people to
distinguish the truth of the hadith because
several hadith quotes do not include the name
or source of the hadith. (Sidi et al., 2016) This
will be a problem and a challenge to develop
more comprehensive dissemination of hadith
information.
Allah has allowed this knowledge to be
conveyed and guarded by experts. In the
Quran, they are called mufassir and keepers
of the Prophet's hadith, and their knowledge
is called hadith experts. The Companions of
the Prophet, then tabiin and tabiut tabiin paid
great attention to preserving the hadiths of the
Prophet, including those about his narrators
from each generation, because they had a
significant influence on Islam.
(Abdurrahman Lc, 2015) Therefore, it is
appropriate that the invitation of the pious
always to follow the Prophet's way of life and
behaviours applied and heeded as the word of
Allah:
“You have had in the messenger of God a
good model.” (Al-Ahzab: 21)
https://scholarhub.ui.ac.id/meis/vol10/iss1/6
DOI: 10.7454/meis.v10i1.160
Always consistently studying the Al-
Quran and Hadith is a challenge for Muslims
today. No doubt, so many things can distract
people from studying in their daily life, such
as social media, which continues to grow and
can lead to dependence on always opening it
every day. A previous research result is that
humans are perfect creatures created with
morals and intelligence. They are the most
perfect of the various creatures created by
Allah SWT.(Qiptiyah, 2020) With human
intelligence, studying Hadith can become a
routine habit in using this intelligence so that
people always remember how beautiful the
Prophet Muhammad is as the best human
being on this earth.
Regarding the dissemination of
information in the science of communication,
previous research explained that
communication is a process of statements
between people or transmission of messages
from communicators to communicants.
These information messages play an essential
role in the dissemination of information.

The main objective of this research is to
contribute to the understanding and
utilization of hadith in a digital learning
context, thereby bridging the gap between
traditional learning and contemporary
technological advancements. By
investigating the concept of hadith, the
research aims to shed light on the profound
importance of these traditions in shaping
Islamic jurisprudence, moral guidance, and
spiritual development.
Hadith concept
Hadith is one of the two most substantial
sources of law in Islam. Hadith has several
synonyms in various settings, such as sunnah,
which linguistically refers to rituals, customs,
and behavior in everyday life, whether
honorable or not. Even now, the term is only
used in a limited sense. One of the primary
criticisms of excommunicative thinking
centers on comparative interpretation.
(Alinejad Omran & Abdollahi, 2021) The
term "sunnah" is not animism or a product of
the ignorance era. Muslims also never refer to
"customs of society" in this way. Islam also
uses this term. Nevertheless, this
understanding is explicitly interpreted as a
"rule" of what the Prophet has said.
Textually and contextually can be studied
directly in educational agendas or indirectly
Published by UI Scholars Hub, 2023
on various online platforms. The application
of the Hadith can also be used in the concept
of da'wah for Muslims. A previous study
stated, "The dissemination of hadith content
from learning media applications to social
media is considered efficient as a da'wah
facility but must pay close attention to the
ethics and norms of social media." (Sumadi,
2016)
Hadith uses a functionalist approach to
investigate various ideas, including the idea
of education. Conversely, according to the
world view of Islamic education, education is
essential in directing human existence
because, through education, humans can
survive and develop on this planet. (Izzan &
Saehudin, 2016) Therefore, conceptual
learning of Hadith is important in cultivating
an understanding of Hadith for a person.
Muslim.
Meaning of Hadith
Etymologically, Hadith means new, news, or
the opposite of qodim or something earlier,
and can also be said with the meaning of
news. For most scholars, Hadith is all
attributed to the Prophet, be it in the form of
statements, actions, choices, traits witnessed
by friends and physicians, or personal traits
or personality. Sources of Hadith include the

Prophet, his companions, and the tabiin. The scholars focused on topics unrelated to the
Word of Allah Ta'ala in the Al-Quran: Prophet to separate them from the hadiths.

commonly called illat and not awkward or
contrary to a more robust history commonly
called syadz. In contrast, Shahih Lighairihi
means five conditions - the narrator's
difficulty is imperfect, and Shahih Lizatihi
means fulfilling the five conditions listed
above.
2. Hasan Hadith
There are two types of hasan hadith, namely,
lizathi and lighairihi. For Hasan, lizatihi
fulfills three conditions, so the narrator's
memory could be more assertive. As for the
lighairihi hadith, the narrator dhaif was
narrated but was not lying or fasiq.
3. Daif Hadith
This hadith has a degree that does not reach a
hasan hadith because it does not reach the
degree of Hasan because the credibility of the
narrators is weak & the chain of transmission
is broken. There are differences in several
narrations. There are defects in the narration
that are not visible.

are all examples of the faith that Muslims
have in him.
The Method of Writing Hadith When the
Prophet Muhammad Lived
The scholars highlighted how the means to
facilitate access to hadith positions, to
identify the originality of source, to
distinguish sources that only resemble the
original and vice versa, where this will justify
otherwise the degree of hadith being accepted
or rejected.
The period of writing this Hadith for the first
time, from 13 SH/610 AD to 11 H/632 AD,
has only lasted 23 years. Information
provided by Prof. Dr. MM. Azami
demonstrated that the writing of Hadith
began when the Prophet Muhammad was still
alive and continued until the next period.
However, this does not mean that rote-based
evidence of Hadith or oral transmission of
Hadith is no longer valid.
The ability to memorize and write Hadith
at that time was not what most people
believed. This wrong thinking is because of a
lack of understanding of the words used by
hadith experts. The teaching of Hadith during
7
 Journal Middle East and Islamic Studies, Vol. 10, No. 1 [2023], Art. 6
the Prophet's time was carried out in stages,
with the center of Islamic da'wah at that time
being carried out secretly, namely the house
of Arqam bin Abdi Manaf in Makkah. They
called Darul Islam. In addition, it can be
performed in the mosque or at a different
time.
The method of writing the Hadith at the
time of the Prophet's death.
When the Prophet died, the strategy he had
devised and followed by his companions was
continued. The dissemination of hadiths by
the companions did not only occur in Medina
but also the conquering areas as they
grew.(Abdul Karim, 2005) Many students
took notes during the gathering
companions there, but not a few also shared
the hadiths obtained only with family or one
of the other students.
Then apart from that, the friends often
remember or respond to each other's or the
caliph's questions about the Prophet's Hadith.
Not only a matter of religion thing but also
muamalat. Including it, Companions are
pretty picky about what Hadith they receive
from other companions. Some of them will
not receive it until they take an oath to tell the
truth, or other companions may convey the
https://scholarhub.ui.ac.id/meis/vol10/iss1/6
DOI: 10.7454/meis.v10i1.160
same thing, which can be called verifying
Hadiths.
Companions of the Prophet from various
backgrounds and ages worked hard to collect
and narrate hadiths, including Aisyah bint
Abu Bakr with 2,210 hadiths, Abu Hurairah
with 5,374 hadiths, Ibn Umar with 2,630
hadiths, Abdullah bin Abbas with 1,660
hadiths, Anas bin Malik with 2,286 hadiths,
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri has 1,170 hadiths, and
Jabir bin Abdillah has 1,540 hadiths.
The number of scholars studying hadith
and hadith as riwayah and dirayah sciences
has increased throughout the Tabiin era,
which also shows growth in the field of
of hadith science. Nowadays, The science of
hadith has reached its peak because each
branch can be used independently and
follows the standards set and used by the
experts. It occurred between the second and
third centuries and was marked by several
important events, including the decline of
Muslim remembrance. In addition, the
vastness of space, the passage of time, and the
ever-increasing number of narrators have all
contributed to the length and ramifications of
the hadith sanad.
Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Hazm, Ibn
Shihab al-Zuhri, and other experts in their
respective fields were ordered to record
8
 Shinta Ilahi et al.: The Concept of Hadith, Meaning, and Position of Hadith, Implement
hadiths by Umar bin Abdul Aziz during the
Umayyad era. The Jami' and Mushannaf
books were the only hadith collections that
existed then. These books include Mushannaf
Abdurrazzaq (died 211 H), Jami' Ma'mar bin
Rasyid (died 154), Jami' Sufyan al-Tsauri
(died 161), Jami' Sufyan bin Uyainah (died
198H), and Jami' Sufyan bin Uyainah (died
211 H).
The requirements for going through the
hadith authentication process are as follows:
Continuous transmission, fair nature of the
narrators, narrators who have a strong
memory, are not ambiguous, and have no illat
or defects in the hadith. Moreover, the
approach outlined by al-Shafi'i in later times,
designed to demonstrate the value of
unverified reports, seems to theoretically be
the way of the future.(Melchert, 2020)
Interpretation of Hadith by Orientalists
There are so many attacks on
understanding of Hadith, so at this time, a
dedicated platform is needed to maintain
originality and convey a comprehensive
understanding of Hadith so that there is no
mistake in interpreting the Hadith. The study
of Goldziher's thought (Ecevit et al., n.d.)
found in related literacy, among other things,
firstly that Hadith is only a record of
religious, historical, and social advances
Published by UI Scholars Hub, 2023
made in Islam during the first century.
Second, there is almost zero possibility of
convincing hadiths to be authenticated based
on the Prophet Muhammad or generations of
companions. Third, determining the
authenticity of a hadith requires not only
studying the hadith chain but also criticizing
the text of the Hadith.
For several reasons, Goldziher became
suspicious of the Prophet's Hadith. Among
them is the non-inclusion of later collections
of Hadith into written sources, the term isnad
to mean oral rather than written narrative, the
existence of contradictory hadiths, and
hadiths included in later collections of
hadiths that are not included in earlier
collections of hadith.
There is also the opinion of other
orientalists, namely Joseph Schacht, a figure
who was born in Poland and became a British
the citizen in 1947. Schacht received his
doctorate in 1923 at the age of 21 years. The
main ideas are, first, to define sunnah as an
ancient Arabic concept that is reapplied as
one of the centers of Islamic thought.

Difference between Hadith Encyclopedia
and Hadith Collection
The fundamental difference between these
two applications is the number of books used
as sources for studying a hadith. These
differences are presented in Table 1.
Although there are differences in numbers,
the two applications have the same eight
sources of hadith books.
Hadith Application Development has
attracted the attention of hadith scholars
interested in converting hadith knowledge
into digital formats due to these
developments. Users, in this case, are
Muslims who are now more familiar with the
hadith of the Prophet because they are more
adaptable and easier to use. This application
is a contemporary idea that strongly
emphasizes the capacity to enable self-
directed learning without the need to move
physical locations. In its primary sense,
learning can occur anytime, anywhere, and is
not limited to educational institutions.

CONCLUSION

The Hadith Encyclopaedia has an advantage

in the uniqueness and completeness of the
explanation of a hadith. Meanwhile, the
Hadith Collection has the advantage of
having more books on hadith sources. The
two applications examined in this study have
similarities in the eight hadith sub-books
used. Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan

In a hadith narrated by Bukhari and Ibn Abu Daud, Sunan Tirmidhi, Sunan Nasa'i,

Abbas, which reads as follows: Sunan Ibnu Majah, Muwatha' Malik, and

There are distinct advantages, such as

contributions and efforts made in this
development should be a springboard for
content creators to create better Islamic
software products to empower and advance
hadith learning in today's modern era.
The author also concludes that these two
applications have provided an overview of
the implementation of learning the concept,
meaning, and position of Hadith in digital
media. So that academics and the public can
disseminate Hadith responsibly and know the
source. Which then becomes a challenge for
application developers to perfect it again in
the future.
