Al-Muḥaddith (Arabic: المُحَدِّث), or a scholar of hadiths, is an expert of hadiths, transmitters of hadiths, terminologies of hadiths, reliable and unreliable hadiths, and problems with hadiths. Most muhaddiths wrote large hadith books.The best-known Shiite muhaddiths include al-Kulayni, al-Shaykh al-Saduq, and al-Shaykh al-Tusi, the authors of the Four Books. Al-'Allama al-Majlisi and al-Shaykh al-Hurr al-'Amili were well-known muhaddiths in the Safavid period. In later periods, Mirza Husayn al-Nuri, the author of Mustadrak al-wasa'il and Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi, the author of Safinat al-bihar, came to be known as muhaddiths.
