Hadiyyat al-ahbab is comprised of three chapters, each of which contains entries in alphabetical order. Chapter one: this chapter is about those whose names begin with "ab". In this chapter, 100 people are introduced with their attributes. It begins with Abu Usama Zayd al-Shiham al-Kufi and ends with Abu Yusuf Qadi Ya'qub b. Ibrahim, Abu Hanifa's student.
