Isrāʾīl

Isrāʾīl belonged to the era of the Tabi‘in, the generation following the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. He was a key figure in the transmission of hadith, particularly in the city of Kufa, which was a major centre of Islamic learning. As a transmitter, he narrated from several companions, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of prophetic traditions. His role was crucial in the development of Islamic jurisprudence and hadith sciences. Details about his tribal affiliation, parentage, and exact dates of birth and death are not well documented. His contributions are primarily recognised through the hadith literature. The exact year of his death is unknown.
