This study examines early rijāl works with particular regard to their authorcompilers’approaches to and conceptions of an important branch of hadith criticism: knowledge of hadith narrators (ʿilm al-rijāl). By examining a wide range of early rijāl works and how the compilers divided and organized biographical entries and reports, the present article demonstrates that geographical divisions guided the strategy of early rijāl compilers. This arrangement gradually gave way to a system based on alphabetic order. However, this was a protracted process, during which a substantial number of rijāl works were organized haphazardly in the form of personal notes. The diversity of traditionists’compilatory strategies in the ninth century underscores not only the experimental stage of this branch of biographical literature but also ways in which the compilers of rijāl works perceived and constructed scholarly authority, placing strong emphasis on personal links and oral-aural transmission. |
