Divorce, Historical Analysis, Hadith TransmissionAbstract
This article aims to examine the phenomenon of divorce of the Prophet's Companions with the approach of historical analysis and hadith science. The researcher collected the hadiths containing the divorce of the Companions as historical data. Furthermore, the researcher traced the story of their divorce in Usdu al-Ghabah fi ma'rifat al-shahabah. The data was then related to the standard of fairness of the narrator in hadith science. Whether the story of their divorce is a ta'n or a disgrace that damages the justice and purity of the companions. As a result, the researcher found 7 narrations about the divorce of companions. However, only 5 are narrated in Usdu al-Ghabah. Their divorces are described in a variety of settings, such as incompatibility, dissatisfaction in the relationship, pressure from family, and violation of the prevailing rules. This implies that the divorces of the Companions did not constitute ta'n or disgrace and did not affect their credibility in narrating traditions.
