Hadis Ekologis dalam Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Konstruksi Etika Lingkungan melalui Perspektif Sufisme Hijau

Abstract

The global ecological crisis is inseparable from an anthropocentric paradigm that reduces nature to an object of exploitation and obscures humanity’s place within a sacred web of life. Addressing this crisis requires a critical re-examination of Islamic textual traditions, particularly Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, which contains teachings on tree planting, humane treatment of animals, and moderation in water use that may provide a textual foundation for Green Sufism. Against this backdrop, the study examines four ecological hadiths from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī by relating them to four Sufi values (tawḥīd, zuhd, mīzān, and khalīfah) to formulate an Islamic environmental ethic. Adopting a qualitative library-research design, the analysis combines basic takhrīj, readings of classical commentaries, particularly Fatḥ al-Bārī, and Sufi hermeneutics through an integrated exoteric–esoteric reading of thematically selected (mawḍūʿī) hadiths. Such an approach reveals a coherent Sufi-ecological ethos underlying teachings on tree planting, animal welfare, water conservation, and human stewardship. Nature emerges as āyāt Allah, resource use is framed by self-restraint; ecological relations are governed by balance (mīzān) and compassion (raḥmah); and human stewardship constitutes a divine trust (amānah). By establishing a direct conceptual link between Sufi values and Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, this study advances a hadith-based framework of Sufi environmental ethics. It highlights its implications for Islamic education, particularly in framing ecological stewardship as an integral dimension of worship. Green Sufism, therefore, rests on a substantial textual foundation within the hadith tradition rather than merely constituting a contemporary theoretical discourse.
