Madrasah Da'wah dan Islam

Assalamu ‘alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Kaum muslimin saat ini mengenal dengan pergerakan salafi, dan salah satu syeikh yang dihormatinya adalah Syeik Al-Banni. Karena beliau dianggap oleh kalangan Salafi sebagai ahli hadits yang sangat mumpuni, dan bahkan kerangka analisa hadits sangat dikaguminya.Kami pindahkan bahasan hadits yang telah masuk ke dalam blog kami di http://usahadawah.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/guru-kami-pengorbanan-dan-khuruj/#comment-157. Silahkan untuk dapat dimudzakarahkan dengan baik.

Dalam kajian ini seorang Ulama Sheikh Al-Saqqaf memberikan analisa kritis terhadap Syeikh Al-Banni. Mudah-mudahan hal ini memberikan kajian yang luas terhadap kebaikan kalangan kaum muslimin. Kita bukan saling merendahkannya.

Terimaasih

Sdr. Azzubairo MENULIS:

This short piece of work has been edited and abridged from the four volume set which emphatically and clearly outlines al-Albani’s mistakes, contradictions, slanders and even lies in the honourable and sacred Islamic Science of Hadith (Uloom al Hadith), by the well known scholar, Al-Shaykh Hasan ibn Ali al-Saqqaf (may Allah reward him for his effort) of Amman, Jordan; from his work entitled: “Tanaqadat al-Albani al-Wadihat” (The Clear Contradictions of al-Albani).

Shaykh Saqqaf is a contemporary Shafi’i scholar of Hadith and Fiqh. His Shaykh’s include Hashim Majdhub of Damascus in Shafi’i Fiqh, Muti’ Hammami in estate division, Muhammad Hulayyil of Amman in Arabic Grammar, and he has been given written authorization (Ijaza) in the field of Hadith from one of the greatest Hadith scholars of our time – Shaykh Abdullah Muhammad al-Ghimari rah of Tangiers, Morocco (1910-1993), an ex-Professor of Hadith at Al-Azhar University, author of nearly 150 works, his late brother: Ahmad ibn Muhammad rah was a great Hafiz of Hadith.

Shaykh Ghimari has declared in one of his published Fatwa’s that al-Albani is an innovator (mubtadi) in Islam, (al-Albani has criticised Shaykh Ghimari’s classifications of Hadith in some of his works; but then contradicted himself in others – see the quotes from Shaykh Saqqaf later). Shaykh Saqqaf presently teaches a circle of students in Amman and has published over forty five books and treatises on Hadith, tenets of faith (Aqeeda), Fiqh and heresiology.

Some say that Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albani (born in the city of Ashkodera, capital of Albania in 1914) was the foremost scholar of Hadith and related sciences of this age.” But this statement which is highly far-fetched, and it is the predominantly imaginary belief of his misguided followers in certain parts of the world. Since only Allah knows who is the “foremost scholar of Hadith and related sciences of this age.” One thing that may be noticed from the Shaykh al-Albani biography, is that Shaykh al-Albani does not seem to have been given any authorization (ijaza) in Hadith from any recognised scholar of Hadith. It seems that al-Albani “taught” himself the science of Hadith by spending many hours in the famous library of Damascus – al-Maktabatuz Zahiriyyah. In the biography written in the preface of the English edition of his work – “Sifah salah an-Nabee”, it was also stated that he was: “influenced by articles in ‘al-Manaar’ magazine.” The last named magazine was edited by the notorious freemason – Muhammad Rashid Ridah (1935).

Al-Albani has not made a handful of forgivable errors, but rather well over 1200, which are only forgivable if he himself admits and corrects his mistakes by repenting in front of the People of Knowledge, as well as the sincere believers who may have been relying on his ‘classifications of Hadith’. The selected contradictions from “Tanaqadat al-Albani al-Wadihat” have been derived for sake of brevity from volume’s one and two only, and whenever the symbol * is indicated, this corresponds to the original reference to the Arabic edition. The reader should also remember that whenever anything appears in brackets, then these are usually my words and not that of Shaykh Saqqaf. It should also be said that Volume 1 of the original contains 250 ahadith, in which al-Albani has said Sahih (an authentic Hadith) in one of his books and then contradicted himself by saying Daeef (a weak Hadith) in another of his books, or similar mistakes and contradictions.

Volume 2 contains 652 Ahadith of the same description as the above, or similar contradictions in individual rijal (biography of a Hadith narrator) of the Sanad (the chain of transmission of a specific Hadith) of the Hadiths in question. In some instances (e.g. Vol.2, pp. 63-64), Shaykh Saqqaf shows how a Hadith narrator is ‘trustworthy’ when al-Albani wants to use a Hadith to prove something, but becomes ‘untrustworthy’ when in a Hadith used by the person al-Albani is arguing against; an extremely embarrassing mistake for anyone of any scholarly integrity. These books by Shaykh Saqqaf have already done much to pull the rug from under ‘Salafiyyism’ in Jordan and even in ‘Saudi’ Arabia, where the first volume alone has seen no less than SIX reprints in a single year alone.

Beside there wouldn´t even ten such contradictions in the works of the traditional memorizers of Hadith (Huffaz), those who had memorized at least 100,000 Ahadith with their sanad’s like the great scholars Imam Abu Hanifah rah, Imam Malik rah, Imam Shafi’i rah, Imam Ibn Hanbal rah, Imam Bukhari rah, Imam Muslim rah, Imam Abu Dawood rah, Imam Tirmidhi rah, Imam Ibn Maja rah, Imam al-Nasai rah, Imam Daraqutni rah, Imam Hakim rah, Imam Asqalani rah and the list goes on. The discerning believer should know that al-Albani has not in his memory anywhere near a 100,000 Ahadith in his memory, in fact as far as we know there is no one who is a Hafiz of Hadith today! If there is, we say please come forward and prove it, and only Allah knows best!
