Typology of Abān ibn Taghlib's Traditions in Sunni Collections up to the fifth century

The general encounter of Sunni's traditionists with Abān ibn Taghlib, as a Shiite narrator who has a special scientific status and is proficient in various fields of Islamic sciences, has generally been of the type of accepting his traditions. In this study, after collecting the various narrative types that quoted from Abān with an in-text approach using the common link method -in Motzki's view- we will try to find the reasons for the jurisprudential dominance and then moral type from him in Sunni collections. Accordingly, the role of some common links like Ḥammād ibn Zayd, as well as important people such as Shu'bah in spreading of the jurisprudential traditions and Yaḥyā ibn Ḥammād in spreading of the of moral traditions type has been evident. The next issue in this study was the extratextual reasons like why the jurisprudential approach of Abān prevailed in Sunni collections and Masānīd, the motives of Bukhārī for not quoting from him and also the reasons for numerous quotations of Tabarānī in the widest types from Abān, to answer, in concise, the style of writing those books as well as type of view of the authors has played an important role in this regard.
