This paper aims to discuss the data collection instrument available from the definition of hadith. Data collection instrument here refers to data collection techniques in conducting any academic research either through observation, interview and questionnaire. The definition of the hadith itself describes the sources and instruments of the data collection method as intended. From this perspective, it is hoped that data collection method based on hadith collection method can be developed to fill Islamic research methodology. The study of the document on the meaning of hadith from the context of data collection method in the research method was carried out and then analyzed using content analysis. The analysis revealed that the hadith is based on the words, actions and taqrir of the Prophet (SAW). This study found that there are several instruments available such as interviews or questionnaires, observation and indirect consent. These instruments were found to have been developed and practiced by the scholars of the hadith in collecting and reciting the hadiths of the Prophet (SAW).
