Transmitter criticism or al-jarh wa al-tadil (lit. impugning and approving) is an important discipline of ilm al-rijal (the science of rijal) to examining isnads (chains of transmission). The transmitter criticism involved identifying the individuals who constituted isnads and evaluating their reliability. This tradition begins in the second/ninth century and it continues until one of the most commanding critics in the Sunni hadith tradition, al-Hafiz (the Hadith Master) Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s time in the ninth/fifteenth century. This article seeks to explore the status of al-Bukhari (d. 256/870) and Muslim (d. 261/875) teachers whom Ibn Hajar rated maqbul (accepted) in his work Taqrib al-Tahdhib. The discussion will focus on the consistency level in which Ibn Hajar adopted the conditions of maqbul to assess the shaykhan teachers. To accomplish the purpose, the author employs library research and content analysis in collecting hadith masters’ approving and impugning evaluations as well as related transmission of their hadith. This article embraces hadith scholars’ methodology in preparing the conclusion. The finding shows only seven maqbul person that are generally considered as Bukhari and Muslim teachers disregarding them to be hujja (proof-text) in the al-Sahihan. This also suggests the consistency of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar adopting the conditions of maqbul in assessing Bukhari and Muslim teachers not to mention the accuracy of both upholding the sahih (authentic) conditions in the al-Sahihan.
