Let us start with the chains from the beginning to show the recorded Ahadith (in writing)
and their transmission during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him.
The writing of the Prophetic Quotations (Hadith) actually started during the lifetime of
the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. Abdullah son of Amr, a companion,
was the first to write down the Prophetic Quotations. He compiled a book called “As-
Saadiqah” (Ibn Saad vol. 2, page 125) which contains the Ahadith that he himself had
heard. Similarly, Imam Ali, may Allah honor his face, compiled a large number of
Ahadith (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2 page 1084), Abdullah son of Abbas, another companions,
made a collection (Tirmithi Kitab Ul‟ilal, page 691). Jafir, son of Abdullah‟s collection
was used by the „Tabai‟ Wahab (Tahzeeb, vol. 1, page 316) and those of Abu Hurairah,
by Hammam son of Munabbeh were later reproduced in the books of Prophetic
Quotations (Hadith) of Sahifa of Hammam, may Allah be pleased with all the
companions.
Abdullah son of Amr says (ref. Tahawi, vol. 11, page 384) that Abu Hurairah used to
record the Prophetic Quotations and then memorize them. The writing of Hadith (s) took
