categories. One of these categories is the “era” category that is based on theperiod in which the narrators and collectors lived, as well as the degree to whichthey were in touch with the renowned scholars of their time. The purpose of thisclassification was to facilitate research into the continuity of the chain ofnarrators. The following is a list of the levels of narration as compiled by theeminent muhaddith, Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqlaanee, in his work entitled Taqreeb at-Tahdheeb.LEVEL NARRATORS DESCRIPTION1 st The Sahaabah e.g. Aboo Hurayrah2 nd Major Taabe‘oon e.g. Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyab3 rd Medial Taabe‘oon like al-Hasan al-Basree and Ibn Seereen.4 th Lower Median Taabe‘oon Their narrations of hadeeth were mostlyfrom Major Taabe‘oon and not theSahaabah e.g. az-Zuhree and Qataadah.5 th Minor Taabe’oon Those who met only one or two of theSahaabah but were not recorded as havingnarrated anything from them. E.g. al-Aa’mash and Aboo Haneefah6 th Contemporaries of the Minor Taabe‘oon who were not known to have met any ofthe Sahaabah. E.g. Ibn Jurayj7 th Major Taabe‘ut-Taabe’een Students of the Taabe‘oon. e.g. ath-Thawree and Maalik8 th Medial Taabe‘ut-Taabe’een e.g. Ibn ‘Uyaynah and Ibn ‘Ulayyah9 th Minor Taabe‘ut-Taabe’een e.g. ash-Shaafa’ee and ‘Abdur-Razzaaq10 th Major narrators from the Taabe‘ut-Taabe’een11 th Medial narrators from the Taabe‘ut-Taabe’een12 th Minor narrators from the Taabe‘ut-Taabe’eenThose who never even met any of theTaabe‘oon e.g. Ahmad Ibn Hambale.g. al-Bukhaareee.g. at-TirmitheeReliability Classification of NarratorsAnother of the categories into which scholars of hadeeth classified the narratorsand collectors of hadeeths is that of the ‘reliability’ category. This category was
ased on the relative reliability of the narrators with respect to their retentivepowers, their moral character, their political affiliations, their fame or lack of itand their philosophical leanings.In this category the narrators are placed in classes of descending order andcertain terms are used to indicate those who belong to the class.CLASSDESCRIPTION TERMINOLOGY1 st The Companions of the Prophet (r) Sahaabee,2 nd Highly praised narrators due to their impeccablememoriesSahaabeeyyah;Lahu SuhbahThiqah thiqah; Thiqahhaafiz; or Awthaq an-Naas3 rd Generally reliable narrators: Thiqah; Mutqin; Thabt or‘Adl4 th Truthful narrators whose reliability is slightly taintedbecause of occasional mistakes5 th Truthful narrators known to make mistakes due to poormemories, senility, misinterpretations or the like.
