Summary
Asbab wurud al-hadith is the science that studies the reasons the Prophet SAW spoke a particular hadith, whether a question, a story, an event or a circumstance. It differs from asbab irad al-hadith, which is the citing of a hadith in a particular situation after the Prophet's SAW passing, and from asbab al-nuzul, which concerns the reasons Quranic verses were revealed. Its benefits include specifying general hadiths, limiting absolute ones, clarifying the details of mujmal hadiths (those brief or unclear in meaning) and identifying abrogating and abrogated hadiths.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Asbab wurud al-Hadith melibatkan sebab-sebab hadith Nabi SAW itu diucapkan, adapun asbab al-Nuzul pula melibatkan sebab-sebab ayat al-Qur'an itu diturunkan kepada Nabi SAW melalui perantaraan Jibril AS.
