The Terms Al-‘Ud al-Hindi in Sahih Al-Bukhari: A Study of Problematic Interpretation of Binomial Nomenclature

Open access
Al-‘?d al-Hind? is a plant term in hadith that mentioned using archaic words. However, the impossibility of a plant species being matched with various binomial nomenclature is due to the failure to research background information thoroughly and involve multiple sources. As an initiative, this study focuses on al-‘?d al-Hind? stated in the hadith of the Prophet SAW that can treat various types of diseases. This study applies library methods to collect data while using content analysis and inductive methods to analyze the data that has been collected. thus, information from Arabic literature sources compared to contemporary information from the field of botany specifically involves plant morphological information to determine the species of a plant. As a result, it was found that there was a mistake in naming the binomial nomenclature for the plant species referred to by words al-‘?d al-Hind? as well as the interpretation of the hadith. This study found that for the narration about incense, the words refer to agarwood which is Aquilaria agallocha. While for the narration about the disease, treatment refers to two types of hers namely al-qus? al-Hind? is Saussurea lappa or Dolomiaea costus and al-qus? al-ba?r? is Arctium lappa. It is suggested that the interpretation of plant names mentioned based on the ghar?b words include the correct binomial nomenclature based on research from various sources predominantly botanical information as a method of species identification. In addition, it can also foster awareness of maintaining its sustainability.
