Taba Tabeyins
(Followers of the Successors)
This is the age of the followers of the companions’ successors from
200 to 300 A.H. This is the golden age in Hadith literature.
1. In this age the Prophet’s traditions were separated from the
reports of the companions and their successors.
2. The authentic traditions were very carefully and painstakingly
sifted from the weak traditions and then these were compiled in
book-form.
3. Elaborate rules framed, canons were devised to distinguish the
true from the false traditions in accordance with clear
principles.
