Likewise, in the Shi'a school of thought, the first Hadiths collectors were [[Safwan b. Yahya]], Husayn b. Sa'id, Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid Barqi who made early categories. The turning point in this movement is ''al-Kafi'' by [[al-Kulayni]] which exerted great influence on the later system of Shi'a Hadith classification due to both validity of its contents and comprehensiveness of its topics. Al-Kulayni started this book with some general discussion on the intellect and science, then he proposed some theological topics including monism, prophet-hood and Imamate; afterwards, he stated some historical discussion on the lives of [[infallibles]] and in the next part we see a big chapter which include jurisprudential subjects. The last chapter is actually a selective and brief part of religious thoughts.

The next three books after the "[[Four books]]" which were written based on jurisprudential subjects were actually a reformation of the classification of ''al-Kafi''. But then, we see the book ''Da'a'im al-Islam'' by Qadi Nu'man Maghribi which was completely different with the Four books and follows a distinct method of classification. It is worthy to note that this new classification was later used in some jurisprudential books –not Hadith ones- specially ''al-Kafi'' by Abu Salah Halabi.
