Abstract
The following generation of jurists wrote down their schools' doctrines in order to account for and explain the preceding information. Al-Sadiq school gathered many students from across the Muslim world, and his jurisprudence and traditions spread far afield. For that reason the Twelver Shi'i legal school was attributed to him in particular. Al-Awza'i's school was widespread in Syria; the people of Damascus and its surrounding areas followed it for 220 years. Al-Qadi' Iyad opinions should not be given the same weight as that accorded to the other founders of legal schools with respect to legal questions. Ibn Hanbal's views were deeply anchored in the transmitted opinions associated with historical and surviving legal schools, especially regarding the Companions' deeds and precedents. The Dawud al-Zahiri legal school first spread eastward, then westward. It remained active in the Andalus until the fifth/11th century.
