| Abstract

:
|
This dissertation examines the lives of roughly 150 Shī'ite narrators active in the 2<sup>nd</sup>/8<sup>th</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup>/9<sup> th</sup> centuries and their reception in the Sunnī hadith tradition. These narrators were contemporaneous with the crystallization of sectarian boundaries and the emergence of an inchoate Sunnī orthodoxy and their reception among Sunnīs sheds considerable light on both of these processes. Through the first decades of the 'Abbāsid period (mid-2<sup>nd</sup>/8<sup> th</sup> century), Shī'ite narrators played a central role in the transmission of hadiths in the proto-Sunnī milieu. This was especially so in the city of Kūfa, where Shī'ite narrators of various stripes were associated with nascent sectarian trends and revolutionary efforts, and even defined the religio-political mainstream in the city to a significant extent. The diverse orientations of these figures constitute a testament to both the considerable sectarian ambiguity that characterized this era and to the contested processes by which sectarian boundaries were gradually drawn and enforced.
