IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-384: PERBEZAAN MUKHADRAM DAN TABI’IN
Is there a difference between a mukhadram and a tabi’i in hadith science?
Short answer
The two terms are not the same. A mukhadram is a narrator who lived through both the pre-Islamic era and the Islamic era but never saw the Prophet SAW.

Summary
The two terms are not the same. A mukhadram is a narrator who lived through both the pre-Islamic era and the Islamic era but never saw the Prophet SAW. According to the sound view adopted by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, they are classed among the senior tabi’in. A tabi’i is someone who met a companion of the Prophet SAW, believed in the Prophet SAW and died as a Muslim.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tabi'in ialah seseorang yang sempat bertemu dengan salah seorang sahabat Nabi SAW dan dia beriman dengan Nabi SAW serta dia mati dalam agama Islam.
