Tabi’in, the second generation of the basic accumulation of Islamic knowledge, thought and morals witnessed the generation of the Companions and followed their lives and scientific knowledge closely. They undertook an important and challenging task by transferring the scientific material they obtained in different ways to the later periods when the foundations of the fiqh sects were laid and various religious sciences emerged, gaining separate identities and constructing their procedures. They are the resources of the oldest works we have today; therefore, all kinds of information, thoughts and practices attributed to them should be discussed and carefully examined, considering the characteristics of the period. This study, on that sense, is an effort to understand which centralizes the person with his identity of muhaddith and is a history/period analysis. In a dynamism, the fact that history is the most presumptive narration of the reality is largely dependent on the availability of resources and causeeffect relationship of the study. However, causes in historical analyses with their social, cultural, political, economical, ideological and personal aspects are numerous and complex; quite a lot of data is needed to determine the right trend, to make analyses among them, to determine the context. For this reason, in our study, classical written works of Islamic culture were used as much as possible, and with the collected data, it was tried to determine Sha’bi’s life and his contributions to hadith sciences.
