Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to identify the Female Successors (Tābi'at) whose narrations were included in the Six Canonical Hadith Collections (Al-Kutub al-Sittah), to analyze their geographical distribution across major Islamic centers, and to enumerate their narrations without repetition. It also highlights the juristic application of these narrations by scholars of the four established schools of law, presenting the findings through comprehensive statistical tables. Methods: The research adopts an inductive approach to collect data on the Tabi'at narrators, followed by analytical methods to determine their geographical affiliation, and statistical techniques to calculate the number of unique narrations attributed to each narrator. Comparative analysis was conducted to assess the proportion of narrations within each city and across the entire group of narrators. Conclusions: The study concludes that the total number of Female Successors who narrated in the Six Books is 107, with 272 unique hadiths. Their presence was distributed across six major cities: (al-Madinah, Makkah, Basra, Kufa, al-Sham, and al-Ṭa'if). The narrations of these women were widely utilized by jurists of the four Sunni schools in their legal reasoning and rulings.
