The majority of books written about the biographies of [[hadith narrators]] under the topics of (narrator) history or tabaqat (listing the narrators in order of a particular criterion), are usually dedicated to the works authored by the companions (Fihrist). Al-Waqidi is a pioneering example of this occurrence. Although Waqidi's book (''al-Tabaqat'') is not available, his student, Ibn Sa'd, has brought a lot of the material from his teachers work in his own book, ''[[Al-Tabaqat al-kubra]]''. In this book, Ibn Sa'd has mentioned most of the companions names. The names and grouping, however, have not been arranged in an alphabetical order, as this method of ordering lists is a latter development. The names have been arranged in what seems to be a geographical order, so, for example first companions who resided in Mecca are mentioned, followed by those who were in Ta'if.<ref>Hidāyatpanāh, "Dānish-i ṣaḥābanigārī", p. 6.</ref> | The majority of books written about the biographies of [[hadith narrators]] under the topics of (narrator) history or tabaqat (listing the narrators in order of a particular criterion), are usually dedicated to the works authored by the companions (Fihrist).

Alongside such books, other independently organized materials under the name of Tasmiya or Asma' (listing names) was also produced. The oldest work written under this title was authored by [['Ubayd Allah b. Abi Rafi']]. His book was titled ''Names of those who were martyred in the ranks of the Commander of the Faithful, [['Ali b.

Larger collections of works regarding the Sahaba have been collected with titles such as ''Ma'rifat al-sahaba'' (Knowing the Companions) and ''Mu'jam al-sahaba''.
