53. Laporan Individu (Khabar Al-Aahaad)
53. The Individuals Report (khabar Al Aahaad)
Khabar ahad ialah apa yang diriwayatkan oleh sejumlah orang yang tidak mencapai tahap mutawatir pada tiga kurun (Al Sahabah, Al Tabi'in, dan Tabi' Al Tabi'in), dan tidak mengambil kira apa yang datang selepas mereka. Ia menunjukkan kemungkinan yang paling kuat, bukan kepastian. Fatwa-fatwa dibina atasnya dalam istinbat hukum sebagaimana ia dibina atas hadis mutawatir dan hadis masyhur. Kajian tentang khabar Al Ahad termasuk antara isu usul yang paling penting, kerana ia menjadi asas bagi kebanyakan hukum disebabkan sedikitnya sunnah mutawatir. Khabar Al Ahad mesti dijadikan asas bagi amalan apabila ia memenuhi kedua-dua syarat: syarat periwayatan (riwayah) dan pengetahuan tentang kandungannya (dirayah). Rasulullah ﷺ biasa menghantar individu daripada kalangan sahabat ke negeri-negeri untuk menyeru kepada Islam, mengajar hukum-hakam, dan meriwayatkan hadis, sebagaimana baginda menghantar Muadz ke Yaman. Maka, jika tidak wajib bagi kaum Muslimin untuk beramal dengan khabar Al Ahad, nescaya Rasulullah ﷺ tidak akan berpuas hati dengan menghantar individu daripada kalangan sahabat, sebaliknya baginda akan menghantar kumpulan.
The individuals report is what was narrated by a number which does not reach the extent of the tawaator in the three eras (Al Sahaabah, Al Taabi'ine, and Taabi'y Al Taabi'ine), and no consideration to what came after them. It denotes the most probability, not the certainty. The verdicts base on it in their derivation as they base on the mutawaatir Hadeeth and on the mashhour Hadeeth. The research of khabar Al Aahaad is from among the most important usoul issues, because it is the basis of most of the verdicts for the fewness of the mutawaatir Sunnah. Khabar Al Aahaad must be taken as basis for the actions when it fulfills both: the conditions of the transmission (riwayah) and the knowledge of its content (dirayah). The Messenger (SAW) used to send individuals from the sahabah to the countries to call to Islam, teach the verdicts, and narrated the ahaadeeth, the way He sent Muazth to Yemen. So had it not been a must for the Muslims to act according to khabar Al Aahaad; the Messenger (SAW) would not be satisfied by sending individuals from among the Sahabah, but he would then send groups.
