Lexicographical Analysis of The Words Mahrudatayn in Hadith [Analisis Leksikografi Perkataan Mahrudatayn dalam Hadith]

Abstract

The word mahr?datayn is an archaic name for a suit mentioned in a hadith in ?a??? Muslim. The discourse on the meant word contributed by scholars in the fields of hadith, lexicography, botany and pharmacology apparently portrays a contradictory information rooted in its plant-based dye-stuff. The source of the dye-stuff as provided by the discourse revolves around al-hurd, al-wars and al-zafar?n. To ascertain a kind of the suit based on its dye-stuff, this study employs a qualitative approach through documentation methods for data collection. Then the collected data are to be interpreted using content and inductive analysis. Lexicographically, this study finds that mahrudatayn encapsulates its dye-stuff named hurd or turmeric (Curcuma longa), which is a rhizome part of a plant native to the region of al-Hind. On the other hand, the used part of al-wars (Flemingia grahamiana) is glands outside its fruits, and the used past of al-zafar?n or saffron (Crocus sativus) is its stigmas. However, in terms associating mahr?datayn with al-wars or al-zafar?n by certain ancient Arabs, there are two possibilities. They whether named all yellow suits mahr?datayn or deemed al-wars and al-zafar?n are as well in a nomenclature of al-hurd. Albeit mahr?datayn is archaic word, delving deep into its identification proves that the encapsulated thing behind its name is a well-known plant. This study recommends further research on plants in text of hadith. 2024, Penerbit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. All rights reserved.
