ISNAD CUM MATAN ANALYSIS SEBAGAI METODE OTENTIFIKASI HADIS NABI (ANALISIS PEMIKIRAN HADIS HARALD MOTZKI)

The most important thing in studying the science of Hadith (Musthalah) is to test and determine the validity of Hadith. Because the hadith that will be used as a transcendental foundation in Islam, must be proven as authentic one. This article describes the theories of hadith authenticity argued by Harald Motzki namely sanad cum matan analysis. This theory of isnad cum matan analysis is a method in searching for the history of hadith by combining isnad and matan aspects. This study uses the library or normative method with a literature study approach. The thesis put forward by Motzki can be used as an additional reference that complements various classical theories implemented by moslem mutaqaddimin scholars. In other words, Motzki's theory can strengthen the argument of the authenticity of hadith constructed by most of moslem scholars.
