During the | During the 2nd/8th century, a general movement of Hadith classification was simultaneously formed among different hadith collectors and some works appeared under the names such as al-Sunan, al-Jami', al-Muwatta' and al-Musannaf. | ||
One of these books was a Hadith book classified based on jurisprudential topics and was written by one of Shi'a Hadith scholars, [[Muhammad b. 'Ali Halabi]], and was one of Shi'a reference books for a long time. | One of these books was a Hadith book classified based on jurisprudential topics and was written by one of Shi'a Hadith scholars, [[Muhammad 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 al-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.

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]]. | ||
