HERMENEUTIKA HADITS DALAM PERSPEKTIF DANIEL W. BROWN: IMPLIKASI METODOLOGIS BAGI PENGEMBANGAN ILMU HADITS KONTEMPORER
Abstract
Abstract
This article examines the hermeneutical thought of Daniel W. Brown in hadith studies and its implications for the development of contemporary hadith methodology. The study is motivated by the urgency of fostering dialogue between the classical tradition of hadith scholarship and contemporary hermeneutical approaches in responding to the challenges of modernity. Employing a descriptive-analytical method through a philosophical-historical approach, this research analyzes Brown’s works, particularly "Rethinking Tradition in Modern Islamic Thought," and explores the epistemological and methodological dimensions of his thought. The findings reveal that Brown proposes a hermeneutical paradigm that emphasizes contextualizing the understanding of hadith through a historical-critical approach without dismissing the authority of tradition. His methodological contributions are manifested in three key aspects: (1) the recontextualization of the concept of hadith authenticity, (2) the reformulation of textual authority, and (3) the integration of a historical-hermeneutical approach in understanding hadith. These methodological implications provide a foundation for the development of contemporary hadith studies that bridge the tension between textual authenticity and authority with the need for contextual interpretation. The study concludes that Brown’s hermeneutical approach offers a methodological foundation that enriches contemporary hadith scholarship by integrating traditional and modern thought within a constructive academic dialogue.

Abstrak
Artikel ini mengkaji pemikiran hermeneutis Daniel W. Brown dalam studi hadits dan implikasinya terhadap pengembangan metodologi ilmu hadits kontemporer. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh urgensi dialog antara tradisi keilmuan hadits klasik dengan pendekatan hermeneutis kontemporer untuk menjawab tantangan modernitas. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis melalui pendekatan filosofis-historis, penelitian ini menganalisis karya-karya Brown terutama "Rethinking Tradition in Modern Islamic Thought" serta mengeksplorasi dimensi epistemologis dan metodologis pemikirannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Brown menawarkan paradigma hermeneutis yang menekankan kontekstualisasi pemahaman hadits melalui pendekatan historis-kritis tanpa menafikan otoritas tradisi. Kontribusi metodologis Brown terwujud dalam tiga aspek utama: (1) rekontekstualisasi konsep otentisitas hadits, (2) reformulasi konsep otoritas teks, dan (3) integrasi pendekatan historis-hermeneutis dalam memahami hadits. Implikasi metodologisnya memungkinkan pengembangan ilmu hadits kontemporer yang dapat menjembatani ketegangan antara otentisitas dan otoritas teks dengan kebutuhan interpretasi kontekstual. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pendekatan hermeneutis Brown menawarkan landasan metodologis yang dapat memperkaya khazanah ilmu hadits kontemporer melalui integrasi pemikiran tradisional dan modern dalam kerangka dialog akademis yang konstruktif.
