Abstract: Al-MunabbihÄ t is a renowned work attributed to Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄ nÄ«. This study aims to analyze the credibility of attributing the book al-MunabbihÄ t to Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄ nÄ« from the perspective of hadith writing methods. The research employs a qualitative library research method through content analysis design. The analysis specification is conducted by comparing the hadith writing methods of this book with the popular hadith book by Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄ nÄ« titled BulÅ«gh al-MarÄ m. The findings indicate various issues related to the hadith writing methods, such as not clarifying the highest narrator’s name, narrated with ṣīghah al-tamrīḠ, not stating the hadith sources, lacking commentary and explanation on the hadith status, and the hadith not being found in BulÅ«gh al-MarÄ m despite being in the same genre. Additionally, the hadith presented are mixed with wise sayings (ḥukamÄ â€™). This clearly justifies questioning the authenticity of attributing this work to Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄ nÄ«. Therefore, it is suggested that this work should no longer be attributed to him to preserve the sustainability of hadith literature, as this attribution does not reflect the esteemed reputation of Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalÄ nÄ«, who is revered as a great figure in the field of hadith and would undoubtedly tarnish his reputation as AmÄ«r al-Mu’minÄ«n fi al-ḤadÄ«th.
