Historically, hadith studies have been found in many manuscripts of Indonesian Muslim scholars as early as the 17th century due to the contributions of both Nuruddin al-Raniry and Abd Rauf al-Sinkili. In subsequent years, hadith studies were developed in written forms and formal religious instructions in traditional Islamic and modern institutions. The present work aims to study the recent development of hadith studies. It is hoped that the result of this study will provide a deep understanding of how Islamic boarding schools in South Sulawesi provide hadith teaching and construct students' ways of understanding the hadith in particular and of Islamic teachings in general.
