Summary
The Tabi'in worked hard to honour the Sunnah by preserving chains of narration, clarifying unusual hadith and passing hadith on to later generations. They held scholarly study circles, took care over the wording and meaning of reports, and laid foundations for the science of criticizing and validating narrators. They also gave rulings to questioners and settled disputes. The ruling text regards these as important contributions of the Tabi'in to the hadith of the Prophet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Para ulama tabi'in telah berusaha keras dalam memuliakan sunnah, mereka meletakkan sanad-sanad secara tepat sehingga hadis tersebut menjadi sangat amanah bagi mereka.
