Özet

This study examines the contribution of Indonesian scholars to the tsabat tradition in preserving authentic hadîts transmission. Central to the hadîts tradition is the isnâd—a reliable chain of narrators—ensuring each transmitter’s integrity. Students recorded scholarly lineages in tsabat manuscripts, often traveling to Islamic centers like the Haramain for direct learning. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes manuscripts by Yasin al-Fadani, Mukhtar ‘Atarid al-Bughuri, and Mahfuz al-Termasi. The findings reveal that Indonesian scholars maintained rigorous documentation and sanad preservation comparable to Middle Eastern standards. Mahfuz al-Termasi’s Kifâyat al-Mustafîd exemplifies meticulous sanad recording. The study underscores tsabat as vital to scholarly authenticity and calls for digitization to safeguard this intellectual heritage.
