Rekonstruksi Habitus Keilmuan Hadis Ulama Palembang dalam Jaringan Intelektual Haramain pada Masa Kesultanan

Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of the Hadith scholarly habitus among Palembang scholars within the Haramain intellectual network during the Palembang Sultanate era. Hadith studies in the Nusantara archipelago, particularly in Palembang, remain under-researched, especially regarding its connection to global sanad (chain of transmission) networks. This research aims to analyze the transmission of Hadith, the network connecting Palembang scholars with Haramain, and the formation of a scholarly habitus within the structural framework of the Palembang Sultanate. A qualitative method with a library research approach was employed, utilizing data from literature on scholarly networks and Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus theory. The data were analyzed through an intellectual history and sociology of knowledge approach. The findings indicate that Hadith transmission in Palembang was not merely limited to the narration of texts, but also formed a scholarly authority heavily dependent on the Haramain network. The support of the Palembang Sultanate enhanced the mobility of scholars through rihlah (scholarly journeys), yet simultaneously demonstrated a reliance on the global sanad center for legitimacy. Through this process, a relational Hadith scholarly habitus was formed within the Islamic intellectual network.
