IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-122: SANJUNGAN ULAMA’ TERHADAP AHLI HADITH
Did earlier scholars praise the hadith scholars and their jurisprudence?
Short answer
Scholars such as al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, Ibn Qutaibah and al-Sam'ani praised the hadith scholars as guardians of the Shariah, diligent seekers of the Sunnah and a group united in belief because they refer to the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

Summary
Scholars such as al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, Ibn Qutaibah and al-Sam'ani praised the hadith scholars as guardians of the Shariah, diligent seekers of the Sunnah and a group united in belief because they refer to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Some scholars understood the hadith about a group that remains upon the truth as referring to the hadith scholars, while al-Nawawi held that it may include various types of believers. The ruling concludes that hadith scholars play a major role in preserving the authenticity of the religion and were learned in fiqh, to the extent that some had their own schools of thought.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, berdasarkan beberapa sanjungan daripada para ulama' di atas, kita mengetahui bahawa ahli hadith memainkan peranan yang cukup besar dan penting dalam memastikan ketulenan agama ini.
