Ahl-i Hadith

Ahl al-Hadith (Arabic: أَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ, 'The People of Hadith') is a school of Sunni Islam that emerged during the 2nd and 3rd centuries of the Islamic era (late 8th and 9th century CE) as a movement of hadith scholars who considered the Qur'an and hadith to be the only authority in matters of law and creed.[1][2][3] Followers of Ahl al-Hadith are known as Hadithists.[4]

Early Hadithists were mainly concerned with the narrations and traditions related to the responsibilities of the ruler.[5] Under the Abbasid caliph Al-Ma'mun (r. 813-833 CE) and his two successors, supporters of hadith were persecuted.[6]

The term Ahl al-Hadith is sometimes used in a more general sense to denote a particularly enthusiastic commitment to hadith and to the reported views and way of life of the Muhammad's contemporaries and the early generations of believers.[7]
