METODE VERIFIKASI HADIS MELALUI MIMPI DAN BERTEMU LANGSUNG NABI MUHAMMAD SAW DI KALANGAN AHLI TASAWUF

Abstract

Hadith refers to everything attributed to Prophet Muhammad SAW, including his sayings, actions, approvals, and characteristics. However, in the development of Islamic thought, there are hadiths received through dreams and then attributed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. In the perspective of Sufis, dreaming of meeting the Prophet is considered a true encounter and can serve as a source of spiritual guidance, even as a basis for receiving hadith. One example is the hadith about coffee received by Sayyid Ahmad bin Ali Bahar Al-Qudaimi through a dream or spiritual encounter with Prophet Muhammad SAW. This study aims to determine the quality of the hadith from the perspective of hadith studies. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach by analyzing the sanad (chain of transmission), matan (text), and the views of hadith scholars as well as Sufi perspectives. The results show that the hadith received through dreams cannot be used as legal proof in Islamic law according to hadith scholars because it does not fulfill the requirements of sanad and matan authenticity. However, in the Sufi perspective, dreaming of meeting the Prophet Muhammad SAW is regarded as a true spiritual experience and may serve as spiritual guidance for the individual experiencing it.
