Summary: | The compilations of authentic hadith by alBukhari
(d. 870) and Muslim (d. 875) known
collectively as al-Sahihayn serve for the Sunnis
as the second highest source of religion after the
Quran. The stringent methods in hadith selection
and appraisal in these books have contributed
to their credibility and reliability as a primary
religious source, and many succeeding works
attempted to emulate them, though with varying
results. Some popular hadith literatures have
also utilized al-Sahihayn as their main source
of hadith quotation to enhance their status of
acceptance, notwithstanding some compromises
and modifications. This is particularly the case
with a 19th century hadith compilation known
as Khazinah al-Asrar Jalilah al-Adhkar by
Muhammad Haqqi al-Nazilli (d. 1884). Thus,
this paper aims to delve into this topic in
further details. It attempts to analyze the role
and influence of al-Sahihayn on Khazinah alAsrar,
the extent of compliance of its author
with the former, and the overall implication of
its extensive methodology on succeeding hadith
works, particularly in Southeast Asia. |
