Abstract

Developments in contemporary hadith studies have given rise to various new approaches to examining the authenticity of hadith, one of which is the isnad cum matan method developed by Harald Motzki. This method offers an integrated analysis of the sanad and matan in an effort to reconstruct the history of hadith transmission more comprehensively. This study aims to analyze the basic concepts of Harald Motzki’s isnad cum matan method and to examine its relevance in the study of hadith authenticity. The research employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach. Data were obtained from the works of Harald Motzki, literature on classical and contemporary hadith studies, and various scholarly articles discussing the isnad cum matan method. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach by examining the methodological framework, application, and contribution of this method to modern hadith criticism. The results indicate that the isnad cum matan method integrates the analysis of isnad and matan, thereby providing a more systematic historical reconstruction of the hadith transmission process compared to approaches that focus solely on isnad or matan separately. This method also enriches the study of hadith authenticity by offering a historical-critical perspective without neglecting the fundamental principles of hadith science. However, its application requires adequate narrative data and in-depth comparative analysis; therefore, not all hadiths.
