Idri M.Ag. and Rohaizan Baru

International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2017, vol. 7, issue 5, 445-453

Abstract: The Sufis (scholars of Islamic mysticism) have their own methods of Hadith narration, namely liqa’ al-Nabiy and kashf stating that a Sufi, with high ranking of spirituality, can meet the Prophet directly and accepts Islamic doctrine including the narration of Hadith from him in awakening state or through dreams. This article criticize the sufi methods of narration according to the scholars of Hadith, authentic Hadith criteria, the meaning of Hadith about meeting the Prophet through dream, kashf as a source of science, the prohibition of false Hadiths transmission, and the ability to obtain knowledge through dreams meeting the Prophet and kashf except in the field of Hadith narration. They say that the Hadiths narrated by such a way are authentic so they can use them as the basic arguments in Islamic religion. The two methods above are not found in Hadith transmission according to scholars of Hadith so that its validity cannot be recognozed. Furthermore, every Hadith narrated by that way is considered false; it is not from the Prophet Muhammad.
