Hadith knowledge goes through a process of development from the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW until now. Despite the speed, many scientific figures occupy various positions in hadith science, whether as narrators of hadith (ruwāt), critics of hadith (nuqqād), compilers of hadith works (muṣannif), and so on. Their biographies, services and contributions are recorded in detail in various works throughout the ages, including in studies at the Institute of Higher Education in Malaysia. Thus, this article aims to identify theses and dissertations produced related to hadith scholars by postgraduate candidates in the field of hadith based on bibliometric analysis. This study applies a qualitative research approach with the theme of literature review. The data is collected from document sources such as theses, dissertations and scientific articles, particularly from the Malaysian Theses Online (MyTO) website. The results of the analysis show that from 1974 until now, the total number of theses and dissertations on hadith scholars produced amounted to 38 studies. There are 10 studies at the doctoral level while the rest, 28 studies at the master's level. In conclusion, the study of the prominence of hadith scholars needs to be intensified as a sign of appreciation for their contribution to the field of hadith.

The sustainability of the psychological well-being of the community is an important post-Covid-19 pandemic discourse. The impact of this pandemic caused Malaysia's psychological well-being index to be at a moderate level with an overall score of 7.2. In this regard, initiatives to control the sustainability of psychological well-being are being actively pursued by various parties. Emotional quality, life satisfaction, psychological functioning, and the ability to interact with the environment are some of the main indicators of the level of psychological well-being. Thus, this study presents an analysis of the hadith perspective on the practice of al-Tafakkur of the Salaf generation in preserving the sustainability of psychological well-being. The study is in the form of application of this theory, worked on based on qualitative methods by using content analysis approach. The results of the study found that the practice of al-Tafakkur by generations of Salaf such as Ibn 'Abbās, Abū Dardā', Sufyān al-Thawrī and Abū Sulaymān al-Dārānī RA contains the best examples in maintaining psychological wellbeing. In conclusion, the combination of al-Tafakkur practices of the Salaf generation is suitable for use as a complementary mechanism of psychological well-being control of society.

The Hindu-oriented psychotherapy approaches such as yoga and transcendental meditation are among renowned alternative methods that are able to treat mental stress problems. However, the alternative psychotherapy initiative can affect the Muslims' faith because some of the traditional rituals deviate from al-Sunna. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare psychotherapy theory between al-Sunna and Hindu meditation traditions, which are increasingly applied in the psychotherapy process. This study applies qualitative methods via descriptive approach. The findings of the study found that the contemplation method according to al-Sunna has holistic and balanced features encompassing the aspects of psychospiritual, taṣfiyah al-Qalbi, al-murāqabah, al-muḥāsabah and al-dhikr. In fact, it is also deemed to be far more beneficial to be applied as an alternative psychotherapy model.

A narrator is a person who plays a role in narrating a hadith, which is also known as a tradition, or story. The character and criteria of a narrator of hadith have a significant impact on the content of their tradition. Al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta'dīl's pointed out that the most serious integrity crisis concerning Shia narrators is that they are branded as liars, which has happened to several main narrators of the Shia books. This paper aims to discuss the status of the main Shia narrators who have been accused of lying by their own al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta'dīl priests and scholars. This paper selected Zurārah bin A'yan as the primary narrator for study, and analyses his narrations in the book of al-Kāfī as the sample. The method applied in this study is qualitative, based on the content analysis method. The obtained data obtained was then conceptually and relationally analysed. It was found that secular scholars have called the major narrators of Shia throughout the flow of history liars, including Zurārah bin A'yan. In conclusion, many historical narratives such as those found in the majority of Shiite scriptures, such as al-Kāfī, have had their authenticity questioned and doubted, thus eroding the credibility of the Shia.

Al-walad li al-firāsh wa li al-'āhir al-ḥajar as a hadith, is the main reference for the conviction of child lineage in Islam. This hadith is the important proposition for Islamic scholars to conclude a hukm regarding child's lineage status. Likewise, it is also being the main foundation for the fatwa institutions in Malaysia to determine fatwa on illegitimate children. However, khilāf (difference in opinion) about illegitimate children is inevitable, and factorised by different understanding upon the hadith of Rasulullah PBUH, specifically on al-walad li al-firāsh wa li al-'āhir al-ḥajar. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyse the variation of understanding to the hadith and to observe its effect to the fatwa of illegitimate children inheritance in Malaysia. This study applied qualitative method by literature review in order to get the research data. This study found two dissensions among Muslim scholars in interpreting the text of hadith, and the interpretations are based on [1] literal meaning of hadith, and [2] maqāṣid (purpose) of the hadith. These interpretations caused the difference of stand between fatwa institutions in Malaysia in issuing fatwa relating to illegitimate children's inheritance status, either enable the children to be lineage with their biological father or vice versa.

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is closely linked to the further development of digital technology, the Internet, and cyberspace. This phenomenon requires swift actions from all sides and is in line with the rapid development of technological products and more intelligent automation systems. To address this, the field of prophetic hadith is being developed through the creation of websites, software, digital books, and ICT applications pertaining to hadith. These media are constantly being developed and improved in line with technological progress. Hence, this study was conducted to highlight the trends and topics of hadith research related to information and digital technology through a qualitative research approach. The data was collected using keyword-based search methods in databases on the Internet. Descriptive content analysis was used to identify trends and topics in information technology-based hadith research. The results show that the trend in hadith research related to information and digital technology focuses on six aspects: hadith reference materials in e-books and PDFs; applications and software; websites; e-learning-based hadith study systems; ICT laboratories for hadith study; and hadith dissemination on social media. To summarise, the study of hadith fields through the lens of information and digital technology requires further development in order to have a significant impact on hadith research and serve as a high-quality and effective mechanism for knowledge dissemination.
