A Criticism On G.H.A. Juynboll Perspectives about Mutawatir Hadith

Abstract

The hadith scholars argue that mutawâtir hadith is guaranteed originally from the Prophet. All mutawâtir hadiths are acceptable to be used as proof of Islamic teaching without having to examine their narrators. In contrast to the scholars of hadith, G.H.A. Juynboll with his common link theory, has been doubted the existence of the mutawâtir. He questions this category of hadith starting from its definition that he values as full-rated issues, it is developed recklessly and never free from ambiguity, as well as formulated with variety of changes that are not simple. According to him, the terms of mutawâtir is often used loosely or even incorrectly. Their criterias are useless, unless one criteria namely the criteria regarding the condition of transmitters at different levels of isnâd. The criteria of mutawâtir lafziy is a historiographical criteria that can never be applied and mutawâtir ma’nawiy only occurs in a limited number of hadiths with no standard criteria, unorganized as well as unstructured clearly. This paper attempts to criticize the concept and opinion of Juynboll about mutawâtir hadiths focusing on three areas; their definition, their criterias, and the number of isnâd lines in the mutawâtir hadiths
