Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: The compilation of Hadith is referred to as Tadveen.
Tadveen literally means "compilation" or "recording" and in Islamic terminology it specifically refers to the systematic collection and compilation of Hadith into written form. This process began during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) on a limited scale but gained momentum during the era of the Tabi'een and reached its peak in the 2nd and 3rd centuries of Hijrah. The other options refer to different Islamic sciences: Tafseer is the exegesis of the Quran, Tajweed is the science of Quranic recitation, and Taqleed means following a particular school of thought.
The history of Hadith compilation can be divided into distinct phases. Initially, Hadith were primarily preserved through oral transmission and memory, with some companions maintaining personal written collections (Sahifas). The first official order for systematic compilation was issued by Caliph Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (RA) around 100 AH. This led to major compilations such as Imam Malik's Muwatta, followed by the famous Sihah Sitta (six authentic books) compiled by scholars like Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, and others in the 3rd century of Hijrah.
