This study aims to understand and analyze trends and patterns in scientific publications related to Hadith studies through bibliometric analysis using data from the Scopus database from 2013 to 2023. This is a bibliometric study on the Scopus database to examine the structure and dynamics of the Hadith studies field. The research involves five stages: determining search keywords, selecting articles, validating data, and data analysis. This study utilizes VosViewer to analyze the annual publication trends, author data and citations, publication types and media, and the research development map in Hadith studies. The results show a fluctuating increase in the number of Hadith studies publications over the last decade, dominated by journal articles (78.4%). The most prolific author is Christopher Melchert, while Ramadani V. and his colleagues' works are the most cited. The AlBayan journal is the main publication source. Topics like "hadith" and "analysis" are the most discussed, while topics such as "significance" and "Islamic law" are less explored, opening opportunities for future research. These findings can help develop Hadith studies curricula and enhance global academic collaboration.
