Summary: | Islam has been spread throughout the Malay Archipelago by travellers and merchants since the 7th century. However, the emergence of systematic Islamic discourse can only be observed in the middle of the 16th century. According to some, the study of ḥadīth in the Malay world did not exhibit any significant development until the 20th century, although this proposition has become a matter of debate amongst modern researchers. Consequently, studies on mushkil al-ḥadīth in Malay literature remain undiscovered. Idrīs al-Marbawī, a profound scholar in the Malay world of the 20th century was amongst a few Malay scholars who can be said to have contributed to the study of ḥadīth and its sciences. This paper attempts to highlight the contribution of this Malay scholar to the subject of mushkil al-ḥadīth by means of descriptive and analytical content analysis of his ḥadīth commentary titled Baḥr al-Mādhī. The aim is to apprehend his perspective on the subject of mushkil al-ḥadīth. It is hoped that the findings will assist other researchers to conduct studies of Malay scholars and their contribution to the sciences of ḥadīth, particularly mushkil al-ḥadīth.
Keywords: Malay Islamic literature, Idrīs al-Marbawī, Baḥr al-Mādhī. mushkil al-ḥadīth, ḥadīth commentary. |
