[[Yusuf al-Bahrani]], in''Lu'lu' al-Bahrayn'', counts the number of hadith in ''Al-Kafi'' to be 16199, Dr. Husayn Ali Mahfuz, in the preface to ''al-Kafi'', counts 15176, Allamah Majlisi counts 16121 and some contemporary scholars such as al-Shaykh 'Abd al-Rassul al-Ghaffar consider there to be 15503. | [[Yusuf al-Bahrani]], in''Lu'lu' al-Bahrayn'', counts the number of hadith in ''Al-Kafi'' to be 16199, Dr. Husayn 'Ali Mahfuz, in the preface to ''al-Kafi'', counts 15176, Allamah Majlisi counts 16121 and some contemporary scholars such as al-Shaykh 'Abd al-Rassul al-Ghaffar consider there to be 15503. | ||
The reason for this variancy in number is due to different methods of counting. For example, some scholars count a hadith transmitted from two different chains as two hadith, while others count it as one. Also, some have included ''[[mursal]]'' hadith (those hadith which do not have a complete chain of transmitters), while others have not. There are also rare cases where some hadith are not mentioned in certain manuscripts, and therefore may or may not have been counted.<ref>''Al-kulayni wa al-kafi'', pp. 401 - 402.</ref> | The reason for this variancy in number is due to different methods of counting.
