Abstract

The study of Hadīth criticism and its connection with the methodology of common link emphasises that classical Hadīth criticism involves rigorous standards, in which scholars assess the authenticity of Hadīth by analysing the chain of narrators (isnād) and the text (matn) itself. It further discusses the common link methodology, which examines the interconnectedness of narrators to determine the reliability and transmission of Hadith across different sources. This paper explores the methodologies of classical hadith criticism and the common link, focusing on their significance in Islamic studies. The purpose of this research is to investigate the methodologies of classical Hadīth criticism and the methodology of common links within the framework of Islamic studies. This research is significant for testing Western scholars' theories and providing the best understanding of how the Hadīth tradition is transmitted from the Prophet to subsequent generations. This qualitative research investigates the methodologies of classical Hadīth criticism and the methodology of common links within the framework of Islamic studies. By employing library research as the primary data collection method, the study analyses literature, including books, journals, and religious texts, to explore the intricate relationship between Hadīth and the Qur'an. In conclusion, the findings of this research shed light on the complex interplay between Hadīth, its historical context, and its methodologies. They highlight the critical role Hadīth plays in shaping Islamic thought and law, as well as the ongoing efforts to ensure its proper transmission and understanding within the Muslim community.
