The term, al-Kutub al-Arba'a, was first coined and used by [[al-Shahid al-Thani]] in a permission for the transmission of hadiths he gave to someone. Then the term began to be commonly used in jurisprudential texts. Some Shiite scholars regard all hadiths in the Four Books to be reliable. However, most of them restrict its reliable hadiths to those that are [[mutawatir]] or have reliable chains of transmitters. | The term, al-Kutub al-Arba'a, was first coined and used by [[al-Shahid al-Thani]] in a permission for the transmission of hadiths he gave to someone.
