Hadith Collection And Compilation
Thank you, Fahad. Can I trouble you to forward known reliable/authentic sources that provide details on the matter of Khulafa e Rashideen discouraging the reporting of ahadith? Such sources may be an interesting read as they may clarify the initial environment after the demise of the Messenger P.b.u.H. I have heard Mohataram Ghamidi Sb. advising that Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a and Hazrat Umer r.a personally preferred the approach of saying less with reference to the Messenger. However, I do not recall (from his lectures) that the first two Khulafa discouraged other sahaba from reporting ahadith. Moreover, it was my understanding that M Ghamidi Sb. had implied his conclusion on their personal preference from the fact that very few narrations link to the first two Khulafa. Regards
