Analisis Metode Pemahaman Ḥadīth Muḥammad Shaḥrūr dalam Kitab al-Sunnah al-Rasūlīyah wa al-Sunnah al-Nabawīyah

Abstract

This article specifically discusses the method and typology of understanding of the ḥadīth held by Muḥammad Shaḥrūr in his work al-Sunnah al-Rasūlīyah wa al-Sunnah al-Nabawīyah. The results reveal that Shaḥrūr offers a number of stages in understanding ḥadīth, are: first, understanding ḥadīth not as a divine revelation. Second, understanding ḥadīth according to the principles of al-tanzīl al-ḥakīm. Third, distinguishing the role of the Prophet Muhammad as an ordinary man, a prophet, and an apostle. Fourth, collecting ḥadīths which are meaningful or still in one theme. Fifth, testing ḥadīth with ratio, healthy logic, and science. Sixth, testing ḥadīth with the historical fact, and seventh, distinguishing the unseen and the seen. Furthermore, the typology of the understanding hadis of Shahrur in his book can be classified into a moderate-reformist school. This is because he invites Muslims to reconstruct the understanding of ḥadīth contextually.
