Abstract:
The second source of Islamic values after Qur'an was hadith. Hadith was a credible source to explain
the Qur'an which was still global. But in choosing a credible hadith to be used as a source of reference, must
go through many stages, one of which is the quality of hadith. The quality of the hadith was a major
consideration in an Islamic source. A hadith narrator named who in certain works has the quality of authentic
traditions, but in other works he was judged to be ḍaīf by other scholars' hadiths. The article will discuss
about the hadith about the greetings of al-Bukhārī in the book Adāb al-Mufrād which was judged to ḍaīf be
by Naṣhīruddīn al-Albānī through criticizing his hadith in the Ḍaīf Adāb al-Mufrād book. This article tries to
review the criticisms made by al-Albānī with the hadith research method simultaneously. Criticism of hadith
that will be carried out has a specificity in assessing the quality of a hadith, because it was not only through
criticism of matan and sanad, but also considers understanding in a hadith. So, this article will find the
degree of a hadith which was discussed by considering the compatibility and meaning of a hadith.
