This paper deals with understanding a content or content of hadiths, it turns out that it is not enough to just focus on the textual understanding of the hadith, but contextual understanding is also needed. It is possible to get the meaning implied from the hadith of the Prophet SAW. Seeing that the Prophet is very concerned about the socio-cultural situation and psychological atmosphere of friends who are the target of the Prophet's remarks, then it should be a contextual approach to the Prophet's hadith continues to be developed. However, this is only part of the hadiths of the Prophet which are understood textually as being no longer communicative with the times. Whereas for some others can be done with textual understanding. This textual understanding of the hadith is carried out if the hadith concerned after being connected with aspects related to it, such as asbab al-wurud hadith, still requires understanding in accordance with what is written in the text of the hadith. All interpretations that arise, both of the text of the Qur'an and the hadith do not mean reducing the degree of nobleness of the two texts but rather a mere inevitability which by the Qur'an itself has implied the need for interpretation of intertextuality. In this way it is hoped to be a solution in reducing dissent and misunderstanding among Muslims a hadith. We can do this by making approaches in studying the hadith, namely the historical-empirical, sociological, and anthropological approach. Because basically, the laws contained therein are flexible or in accordance with the time and place (fi kulli maqam wa epoch).
