Summary
The science of hadith has two divisions: al-Riwayah, which concerns the chain of narration, the condition of narrators and the acceptance of a hadith, and al-Dirayah, which concerns the content and meaning of hadith, also called fiqh al-Hadith. It is important because hadith is the second source of Islam after the Quran, and its authenticity must be verified from various sources. Al-Dirayah covers fields such as Gharib al-Hadith, Ikhtilaf al-Hadith, Rijal, Mustholah al-Hadith and Takhrij al-Hadith. Hadith must be safeguarded so that no falsehood is attributed to the Prophet SAW.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ilmu al-Dirayah ialah ilmu yang berkaitan dengan kandungan atau makna yang terdapat di dalam hadith Nabi SAW secara ringkasnya ia disebut sebagai fiqh al-Hadith.
