NARRATORS FROM THE CHILDREN OF THE FOUR CALIPHS

&

THEIR CONDITION IN HADITH

Below is a list of the narrators from the descendants of the four righteous Caliphs of Islam, we have listed the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of each of the men who happen to narrate Hadith. As for collecting the names of these narrators, we heavily relied on Tabaqat ibn Sa`d and al-Thiqat li-ibn Hibban, since both sources contain the names of the early narrators who dwelled in Madinah and Makkah, knowing that the descendants of the Caliphs mainly lived in Hijaz. Regarding the reliability of each of the narrators, we have quickly judged each man without thorough investigation since the list is too long, so it is advised to not take any judgment for Hadith grading based on this list.

The descendants of the four Caliphs still live until our days, their numbers today are very big and while it was an easy task to gather the names of the children of each Caliph, yet the grandchildren and those after them proved to be quite a task.

For example, Imam abu al-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi (510-597 AH) is a major narrator who is from the children of Abu Bakr, if we wanted to list his full name it would be:

`Abdul-Rahman bin `Ali bin Muhammad bin `Ali bin `Ubaydullah bin `Abdullah bin Hamadi bin Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Ja`far bin `Abdullah bin al-Qasim bin al-Nadir bin al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin `Abdullah bin `Abdul-Rahman bin al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq.

Imam ibn al-Jawzi is the 19th descendant of Caliph Abu Bakr. However, we do not wish to go this far because we cannot possibly gather all the descendants who later narrated Hadith from the lineage of the four Caliphs. Therefore, we have made the decision to stop around the 7th descendant of each of the four Caliphs since it is the early decedents who matter most.

Observations we make after concluding this research:

 

  • The earlier descendants, especially the children and grandchildren were much more reliable than the later ones for numerous social and religious reasons as well as geographical reasons. For example, the early ones remained in Hijaz whereas the later ones moved to areas that weren’t as conservative or religious, their children might have been corrupted by this move.
  • The fact that almost all of their children and grandchildren lived in Hijaz, paints a really beautiful image of how Madinah was back in those days when it was filled with scholars and pious worshipers from the progeny of the Sahabah, the second generation that Islam produced.
  • There were more narrators from the children of `Umar and `Ali than from the children of Abu Bakr and `Uthman.
  • The big amount of “Majaheel” or narrators of unknown conditions in Hadith is bigger among the children of `Ali. It would seem that the explanation for this was that laypeople would seek to take Hadith from the descendants of the prophetic-household; this caused them to take narrations from random scholars, pious men or even politicians of Hashimite descent, these Hashimies weren’t known or relied upon in the scholarly circles.
