The third view emerged among Muslims only in later decades, following the dominance of the second view over the first and with the motivation of filling the void left by the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet . This view was following the Book of Allah and the Hadith of the Prophet . However, the early Muslims did not hold such a view, nor did they approve of placing the Hadith of the Prophet alongside the Book of Allah. Rather, they opposed it and strongly resisted it; because what was referred to as Hadith was merely conjectural narrations without the necessary pieces of evidence for a perfect and correct understanding—conjectural narrations that could not be placed alongside the Book of Allah or fill the void left by the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet . It was predictable that if it spread, it would only pave the way for discord within the Ummah concerning Islamic beliefs and deeds, and for their separation from the Book of Allah. Therefore, they earnestly prevented the writing and narration of Hadith and even collected and destroyed Hadith books and notes[1]. This was a measure that—contrary to the assumption of some ignorant individuals—they took out of goodwill and with the motivation of protecting Islam; because they rightly knew that these hadiths were, on the one hand, conjectural and lacked sufficient authenticity, and on the other hand, were highly imperfect and lacked sufficient precision, and therefore could not serve as a basis for the religious practice of Muslims. Although they disagreed on the necessity of referring to the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet as a living and certain reference for knowing Islam, they had no disagreement regarding the non-necessity of referring to solitary reports, and all of them opposed compiling and promoting them as a religious foundation. In the meantime, only some young and lower-status individuals among them—such as Abu Hurairah—gave much attention to narrating Hadith, and for this reason, the Hadith books became filled with their narrations. Otherwise, great figures such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Salman, Abu Dharr, Ammar, and others narrated fewer Hadith and also prevented those like Abu Hurairah from excessive narration,
