One of the contributors of the project of jurisprudential Hadiths classification was [[Abu Bakr b. Abi Shayba]] ([[235]]/850) in his book ''al-Musannaf''. Likewise, in the second generation of Hadith collectors, when [[Bukhari]] wrote his book ''al-Jami' al-Sahih'', we still see some defects and inconsistency in the classification of hadiths; and the best reason for this claim is the presence of some chapters without any Hadiths as well as the presence of the same Hadith with different references which are scattered in different chapters of the book. | One of the contributors of the project of jurisprudential Hadiths classification was [[Abu Bakr b.

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, prophethood and Imamate; afterwards, he stated some historical discussions 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. | Likewise, in the Shi'a school of thought, the first Hadiths collectors were Safwan b. Yahya, Husayn b.

The next three books out of the so-called "[[Four books]]", which were limited to 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 from 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]]. | The next three books out of the so-called "[[Four books]]", which were limited to jurisprudential subjects, were actually a reformation of the classification of ''al-Kafi''.
