Özet:

Tracing the history of hadith is a common thing to be studied and carried out by various academic circles. Along with the dynamics which are quite dynamic, there have been problems including Islamic thought and even orientalist thinking to examine the hadith texts of the Prophet Muhammad which is growing rapidly, especially in the study of hadith studies. There are two main aspects of the foundation in hadith research, namely between authentic and skeptical. The term becomes the result of the conclusion when the hadith has been carried out both in terms of the quality of the sanad, matan, and narration. However, understanding the hadith does not revolve around the concept of understanding the content and substance of the hadith. how Islamic thinkers try to reconstruct the methodology in understanding the criticism of hadith so that the hadiths achieved are truly accurate and maintain traditions from errors and falsehoods. This paper tries to explore the ideas of Muhammad Syhudi and Muhammad al-Ghazaliy in theory development (Matan Hadith Criticism Methodology). Then the author tries to prove and support the development of the study of hadith studies, especially academics in conducting hadith research.
