The Concept Of Al-Ta’dīl Al-Dimnī According To Al-Ismā’īlī: An Analysis Of His Work Al-Mu’jam

Abstract

One of the conditions for the acceptance of hadith is the proven integrity of the narrator, which can be achieved through two methods: explicit characterization of the narrator (al-ta’dīl al-taşrīhī) or implicit characterization (al-ta’dīl al-dimnī). There are many texts from scholars that show their reliance on al-ta’dīl al-dimnī. Al-Ismā’īlī, in his book Mu'jam al-Syuyūkh, uses al-ta’dīl al-dimnī by not commenting on narrators who are considered trustworthy. However, the question arises whether the al-ta’dīl al-dimnī applied by al-Ismā’īlī can be used as a general reference in the evaluation of hadith narrators. This study is important because it helps clarify the effectiveness and reliability of the al-ta’dīl al-dimnī methodology in the evaluation of narrators, which in turn can provide guidance to hadith researchers in more accurately determining the integrity of narrators. Therefore, this study analyzes the narrators who were not commented on by al-Ismā’īlī and compares them with the views of other jarh wa ta’dil scholars. The methodology used in this study is a qualitative approach based on document analysis for data collection and content analysis as the data analysis method. The results of the study found that out of the 19 narrators given al-ta’dīl al-dimnī by al-Ismā’īlī, 10 were classified as rejected (mardūd) while the remaining nine were considered acceptable (maqbul). Suggestions for further research include in-depth analysis of al-Ismā’īlī's methodology in implicit evaluation of narrators and the application of the al-ta’dīl al-dimnī concept in the works of other scholars, as well as expanding the scope of narrators analyzed to obtain a more comprehensive picture.
