Development of a retrieval system for Al Hadith in Bahasa (case study: Hadith Bukhari)

The Hadith is one of the main sources of Islamic law beside the Qur'an and Ijma. We recognised certain false hadith since the first century of Hijra, even earlier. The effort to distinguish between the authentic and false hadith is somehow difficult in addition to the source of genuine document often releases in Arabic. That motivates the author to build a repository and its retrieval system for collection of al Hadith in the Indonesian language. The retrieval of document used Nazief and Andriani stemming algorithms with the programming language PHP to display the search results based on the keywords entered by the user and an XML schema as the basis for repository. Analysis of the test results indicated that our system can generate recall with a perfect score of 1 and a precision of 0.961. This indicates that the retrieval process returns a large number of relevant documents and also covers most or some of the unexpected documents.
