Many Misunderstand! Hadith About Adab Is Higher Than Its Full Explanation And Explanation

Hadiths about adab are higher than (freepic) knowledge

YOGYAKARTA - Have you ever heard of hadiths about adab that is higher than knowledge that is often cited on social media and lectures?

This statement is so popular that many people believe it without questioning its authenticity. In fact, this erroneous understanding of hadiths can have an impact on the way we view science and customs in Islam.

The phenomenon of spreading hadith without verification is indeed a big challenge in the digital era. Many Muslims are caught up in misunderstandings because they just receive information without conducting further searches.

This article will thoroughly explore the truth of the hadith, ranging from the status of the hajjah to the views of the ulama on the relationship between adab and science.

Reporting from the Muslim.or.id page, hadiths "adab higher than knowledge" do not have a shahih situation, but that does not mean that the important concept of adab does not have a foundation in Islam.

In fact, the Quran and hadith shahih explain a lot about the urgency of the two. Allah SWT obeys in QS. Luqman paragraph 13-19 which teaches about etiquette to parents, politeness in the walk, and gentleness in speaking.

In addition, the Prophet Muhammad SAW also said in the hadith shahih, "I was sent to perfect the noble morals" (HR. Ahmad). In another hadith narrated by Tirmidzi, the Prophet taught a prayer: "O Allah, I take refuge in you from morals, deeds and unlawful lusts" (HR. Tirmidzi no. 3591, shahih).

The two hadiths above show how important it is to have adab and akhlak noble in the life of a Muslim.

Meanwhile, the priority of demanding knowledge is also highly upheld. The Prophet said, "Demanding knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim" (HR. Ibnu Majah). These two aspects are "adab and science" are both fundamentals in Islam.

Salaf scholars have wise views on adaptational and scientific relationships. First there is Imam Malik who once said to a Quraish youth, "Students before learning knowledge." It does not mean science is not important, but adab is the foundation that makes it easier for a person to understand and practice science.

Then Yusuf bin Al Husain explained, "By studying adab, then you become easy to understand knowledge." This statement was strengthened by Ibul Mubarok who claimed to have studied adab for 30 years, while knowledge for 20 years.

Meanwhile, Abdullah bin Wahab, a student of Imam Malik, even said, "What we derive from Imam Malik is more in terms of adaptation than his knowledge." This shows that great scholars not only teach theory, but also examples in civilizedism.

In reality, adab without knowledge makes a person blind in worship. On the other hand, science without adab is dangerous because it can give birth to arrogance and bad behavior.

Interestingly, Imam Abu Hanifah even prefers to learn the stories of the ulama rather than master the chapter of fiqih, because from there he learns their etiquette and morals.

An important lesson from this discussion is the importance of verifying every hadith before spreading it. Do not let us be one of those who speak on behalf of religion without the correct knowledge.

But the most important thing is not to argue between civilization and science. Both complement each other and are needed together. As the Prophet SAW prayed, "O Allah, show me good morals" (HR. Muslim no. 771).

From now on, let's study seriously, while continuing to improve our etiquette and morals in our daily life!
