Hadiths analysis on chapter wa waṣṣaynā al-Insāna bi wālidayhi ḥusnā in al-Adab al-Mufrad by Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad Ibn Ismā‘Īl al-Bukhārī (810-870 CE)

Abstract

Adab, in the perspective of Islam, holds a noble position in the eyes of Allah and His Messenger and in the view of all creatures. However, most Muslims take an indifferent attitude towards this matter, treating them as if they are peripheral and distant from the religion. Observing this scenario, the restoration of identity needs to be strengthened by understanding the of the Prophet's (PBUH) teachings through his sayings on manners contained in the works of prominent scholars. This paper analyses the renowned hadith scholar, al-Bukhārī, who wrote a special chapter in Kitāb al-Adab within his work al-Jāmi‘ al-Ṣaḥīḥ. More specifically, al-Bukhārī authored another separate book presenting hadiths on manners titled al-Adab al-Mufrad (AM). Hence, this study applies a qualitative method with a content analysis design to elaborate in detail selected hadiths related to the command to do good to parents. The findings show that most of the hadiths in AM are authentic, thābit, and maḥfūẓ. Although there are weak, their number is small and not in the category of very weak. Therefore, it does not tarnish the credibility of the author and the esteemed status of AM in society.

Contribution: The paper highlights numerous authentic hadiths emphasise the importance of treating parents with respect and kindness. This is a core value in Islam that has been validated through the al-Bukhārī's works. The paper's exploration of hadiths on parental respect, along with its practical applications, aligns well with the focus on promoting Islamic values and addressing contemporary social challenges.
