Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compile the marasil (al-Hadith transmitted without the mention of the Prophet's companions) that are recorded in Musannaf of Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq in the chapter about zakah and to study them in terms of ascription (chain of narrators) and text (matan). Firstly, this study looks at the conditions of their ruwat (narrators) and later evaluates their shawahid and mutaba'at to determine their status i.e. whether they can be elevated to the level of Hasan li Ghayrihi. This study also includes a brief biography of Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq covering his lineage, teachers, students and his intellectual status in the Islamic intellectual discourse. This study also focuses on his methodology of writing Mu'annaf and the issues of the al-Hadith al-Mursal. There are two methods used by the researcher in order to pursue this study: firstly, a descriptive and inductive method which is applied in order to analyze information in connection to Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq and issues of al-Hadith al-Mursal. Secondly, critical analysis in order to make a proper judgment on al-Hadith al-Mursal based on an evaluation of the conditions of their ascription, text, shawahid and mutaba'at. This research concludes that Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq is well-versed in matters of al-Hadith and jurisprudence and has the ability to resolve disputes relating to matters in Islamic jurisprudence. The purpose of his Musannaf is to assist Muslim jurists to deduce Islamic rulings from the the text of al-Hadith whch is the second source of Islamic legislation. The research recognizes the important place of Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq's Musannaf in Islamic scholarship, and asserts that the majority of the marāsil recorded in this chapter are elevated to the level of Hasan li Ghayrihi.
