Vocabulary of Islam |
The Tābiʕīn "Followers" (Arabic: are the generation of Muslims that came after the Ṣahāba "Companions". As such they played an important part in the development of Islamic thought and philosophy, and in the political development of the early Caliphate. In particular, they played a vital role in the split in the Islamic community between Sunni and Shia Muslims. To this day, interpretations of their behaviour and characters are highly controversial.

Sunni view
The Sunnis define a Tābiʕī as a Muslim who:
- Saw at least one of the (Ṣahāba) "Companions" of the Muhammad.
- Was rightly guided (according to the Sunni, one who adheres to the beliefs and actions of the Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaa'h).
- One who died in that state. A good example to explain would be the Khawarij. They saw many of Muhammed's companions but still were not called at-Tābiʕīn as they were not rightly guided (held by both Shias and Sunnis).
some examples of Tābiʕīn:
- It is said that Imam Abu Hanifa saw Anas ibn Malik [radhi Allahu Anhu]
