Qualitative assessment reveals incorrect meanings for uṣūl al-silq in Hadith translations, indicating the need for better interpretations.
The translation of hadith usually provides incorrect meaning for archaic words. To fill the gap, this study opts to assess the Malay translation for uṣūl al-silq in “Terjemahan Sahih Al-Bukhari” and reveal its correct meaning. This study employs a qualitative approach, as it collects data through literature review. Then, the collected data will be interpreted through critical analysis which consist of 3 subanalyses; textual, contextual and comparative subanalyses. Ultimately, this study finds a hadith on uṣūl al-silq mentioned under 4 different topics in Ṣaḥῑḥ al-Bukhārī. All provided meanings under the 4 topics in Terjemahan Sahih Al-Bukhari are improper as 2 of them are incorrect and 2 others are inexact. Veritably, the meaning of uṣūl al-silq based on the analysis is beetroot ( Beta vulgaris ). This study therefore recommends that adequate interpretation for the archaic words of hadith be carefully crafted to ensure reliability.
