Bolehkah Perempuan Mengamalkan Sunnah ?

Daripada ‘Aisyah radiallahu ‘anha, bahawa Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda:

إِنَّمَا النِّسَاءُ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ

”Sesungguhnya wanita adalah bahagian daripada lelali.”

[Sunan at-Tirmizi, Kitab at-Taharah, hadis no : 113, salah seorang perawi bernama Abdullah bin Umar dinyatakan dhaif oleh Yahya bin Sa’id kerana hafazannya]

What people know about Islam

Al-Muhaddithat: The Women Scholars in Islam

This book is an adaptation of the Muqaddimah or Preface to Mohammad Akram’s 40-volume biographical dictionary (in Arabic) of the Muslim women who studied and taught hadith. It demonstrates the central role women had in preserving the Prophet’s teaching, which remains the master-guide to understanding the Qur'an as rules and norms for life. Within the bounds of modesty in dress and manners, women routinely attended and gave classes in the major mosques and madrasas, travelled intensively for ‘the knowledge’, transmitted and critiqued hadith, issued fatwas, etc. Some of the most renowned scholars among men have depended on, and praised, the scholarship of their women teachers. The women scholars enjoyed considerable public authority in society, not exceptionally, but as the norm.

The huge body of information reviewed in al-Muhaddithat is essential to understanding the role of women in Islamic society, their past achievement and future potential. Hitherto it has been so dispersed as to be ‘hidden’. Akram’s dictionary will greatly facilitate further study, contextualization and analysis.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: أَلَا أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ وَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ فَقَالَتْ أَصْبِرُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ لَا أَتَكَشَّفَ فَدَعَا لَهَا.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدٌ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ أَنَّهُ رَأَى أُمَّ زُفَرَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً سَوْدَاءَ عَلَى سِتْرِ الْكَعْبَةِ

‘Atha’ bin Abu Rabah berkata: Ibn ‘Abbas radiallahu ‘anhuma berkata kepada: Mahukah engkau jika aku tunjukkan seorang wanita daripada kalangan penghuni syurga. Aku menjawab: Sudah pasti ! Ibn ‘Abbas berkata: Inilah perempuan kulit hitam yang datang berjumpa Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam, lalu dia berkata kepada baginda: Sesungguhnya aku menghidapi penyakit sawan (lalu apabila sawan ku datang), aurat aku akan terbuka. Doalah kepada Allah untuk diri ku.
