##article.abstract##

The research of the Qur’an and Hadith holds a central and foundational place in the field of Islamic sciences. This discipline has played a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual, religious, and scholarly development of Muslim society. Through this research, the original meanings, interpretations, and legal derivations of the Qur’an and Hadith have been preserved and clarified. Among the earliest and most significant contributors to this tradition were the noble Companions (Ṣaḥābah) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their successors, the Tabi'in. Their efforts established the essential principles of preservation, explanation, and critical evaluation that continue to guide Islamic scholarship. The Companions witnessed divine revelation and directly heard the sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Their deep understanding and immediate interaction with the Qur’an and Hadith gave them a unique scholarly position. They developed methods for memorization, recitation, and contextual understanding of the Qur’anic verses and were pioneers in Hadith authentication by investigating the reliability of narrators and chains of transmission. Prominent Companions like Abu Hurairah, Aisha, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) exemplified this dedication through their keen scholarly insights. Following them, the Tabi'in carried forward this scholarly legacy by systematizing the research of Hadith and Qur’an under defined scientific principles. They introduced frameworks for collecting and verifying narrations and contributed to the foundation of jurisprudential schools. Great Imams such as Malik, Abu Hanifa, and Shafi’i built upon the contributions of the Tabi'in, establishing robust standards for legal and exegetical interpretation. Together, the Companions and the Tabi'in not only preserved the sacred texts but also developed enduring methodologies for interpretation and legal reasoning. Their foundational research continues to be a cornerstone in Islamic academic thought and the progression of the Islamic sciences.
