Ijazah Periwayatan Sanad Kitab Turath Hadith: Analisis Al-Mawahib Al-Ilahiyyah Fi Al-Asanid Al-'Aliyyah Karya Muhammad Salih Bin Uthman Jalal al-Din Al-Malayuwi Al-Makki (1928-2012m)

Abstract

Al-Ijazah or permission (authorization, license) is a mechanism that transcends the continuity of the transmission of the scripture of the turath of the hadith in order to persist between generation and generation until the present age (suggestion: Al-Ijazah means “permission, license, or authorization” which originally served as written records of the direct audition of a text on the part of the recipient from the transmitting authority. In the field of hadith studies, the formal transmission of a report from one authority to the next in the chain of transmission (isnad), authorized by ijazah). In Malaysia, the preservation of the sanad is practised by Islamic scholars throughout every century including Muhammad Salih bin Uthman Jalal al-Din al-Malayuwi al-Makki. This paper aims to analyze the chain of transmission of turath hadiths carried by Muhammad Salih to the Malaysian scholars through his al-thabat work entitled Kitab al-Mawahib al-Ilahiyyah fi al-Asanid al-'Aliyyah. The research data were collected through content analysis and have been analyzed descriptively. The finding shows that Muhammad Salih possesses the permissions of 47 teachers which he qualified to be labeled as a Malaysian Musnid.  This include the ijaza of al-Muwatta', al-kutub al-sittah, al-Awa’il al-Sunbuliyyah and the hadith of al-rahmah al-musalsal al-awwaliyyah. The leading teacher of this scholar is Syeikh Hassan Masysyat. There are four intellectual reflections on the application of the ijaza namely the preservation of the chain of transmission, the protection of the narrators, the example of the tradition of scholars and the importance of acquiring the sanad.
