Imam Mawardi was one of the earliest scholars who discussed his work other than Abu Ya'la because that is the importance of this study. The method used to achieve this research's objectives is qualitative using literature study and contact analysis, which analyzes his thoughts about hisbah from his book entitled al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyah wa Wilayat al-Diniyah. This study's contribution tries to provide a basic framework of hisbah in Imam Mawardi's view, which can be referred to in implementing hisbah today in a government.
