صحيح الإمام البخاري بين الحافظين الدارقطني وابن حجر العسقلاني: دراسة تحليلية مقارنة

Abstract

This study explores the full authenticity of al-Bukhari's book, focusing on Darqutni and Ibn Hajar's opinions. Al-Bukhari's book was deemed 'Sahih or authentic and therefore accepted by the ummah as a hadith book of authentic contents. Despite this, Darqutni had commented on the hadiths of Sahih al-Bukhari in his work, al-Ilzamat wa-al-Tatabbu'. As a reaction to this, Ibn Hajar wrote Hadyu as-Sari Muqaddimah Fath al-Bari to respond to Darqutni's about Sahih al-Bukhari. Darquitni was a prominent figure in the discipline of hadith. Ibn Hajar was a master scholar of hadith. His expertise is evident in his explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari. This study compared the criticisms of Darqutni to Ibn Hajar's response to those criticisms, by using the hadiths and sayings of the Imams to reach credible conclusions. This study used comparative, inductive, and analytical approaches to examine the issues highlighted from the criticisms of Darqutni and the responses of Ibn Hajar. The research findings found several factors, an important one: Darqutni brought some other narrations for hadiths, which he considered to have 'illah. This finding coincided with the condition of al-Bukhari's writings, which did not require a compilation of all authentic hadiths. Instead, he only chose hadiths considered the most authentic and thus left out many others. Finally, this study found that Darqutni tended to emphasise the accuracy of hadiths. On the other hand, al-Bukhari was more concerned with the narration of hadiths and their meanings.
