The preservation and understanding of the Prophet's (PBUH) teachings rely heavily on the meticulous transmission of Hadith through successive generations. The senior Tabi’een, the generation following the Prophet’s companions, played a pivotal role in this process. However, the narrators classified as "Majhoul" (unknown), presents a unique challenge within this generation. By examining this particular group, the research aims to a more comprehensive understanding of Hadith transmission. A clearer picture of these narrators can enhance the accuracy and depth of our grasp of Hadith development. The research utilizes the inductive method to identify and categorize the narrators from "Taqrib At-Tahdhib." Subsequently, a thorough analysis of their narrations, with careful documentation of sources. Lastly, a comparative study compares these narrators to the total senior Tabi’een. The key findings of the research are: In At-Tabi’een generation, the senior Tabi’een narrators make up only 7% (286 out of 3925) of the total number of narrators. Within this group, 92% (263 out of 286) are known narrators. However, 8% (23 out of 286) are Majaheel, of whom (15 narrators), only one narrator narrated from each of them, and the number of their narrations (11 Hadiths), and (06 Athar). There are (4 narrators), two narrators narrated from each of them, and the number of their narrations is (12 Hadiths). And (4 narrators), three or more narrators narrated from each of them, and the number of their narrations is (4 Hadiths), and (one Athar). The total number of their narrations was (27 Hadiths) and (07 Athar). All of the Hadith narrations were narrated in the four books of Sunnah, and as for Athar, most of them were narrated in other books. Further research in this area could delve deeper into the context surrounding these narrators' obscurity, potentially exploring historical factors or scrutinizing their narrations' authenticity more closely.
