Living Hadist dalam Tradisi Pembacaan Hidzib Bahr di PPP Kuttabul Banat Lasem

Abstract

The tradition of reciting Hidzib Bahr is one of the religious practices preserved in Islamic boarding schools and reflects the implementation of hadith values in daily life. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Hidzib Bahr recitation tradition at PPP Kuttabul Banat Lasem, analyze the forms of living hadith reflected in the practice, and explore the meanings and hadith values understood by the students through this tradition. This research employed a field research design with an empirical qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Hidzib Bahr recitation is conducted regularly after the congregational Fajr prayer and attended by all students as part of the pesantren’s spiritual development program. This tradition represents a form of living hadith as it embodies the values of prophetic traditions concerning the virtues of remembrance (dhikr) and gathering in dhikr assemblies after Fajr prayer. Furthermore, the students interpret the tradition as a means of taqarrub ilallah (drawing closer to Allah), ta'dzim ilal-ustadz (respecting and honoring teachers), and cultivating spiritual discipline and consistency (istiqamah). This study concludes that the Hidzib Bahr recitation tradition at PPP Kuttabul Banat Lasem serves as a manifestation of living hadith that contributes to the internalization of Islamic values and the development of students’ religious character.
