Al usul al arba'amia
Al-Usul al-arbaʿamiʾa , (the four hundred principles) are four hundred hadith collections which were collected by the transmitters of hadith directly from the Prophet (s) and Imams (a) in the early centuries of Islam. They were sources for later hadith references, and one criterion of authenticity for next generation of hadith scholars was the existence of at least one of these "usul" in the reference of a hadith. the trustworthiness of such usul is that the companions of Imams (a) would instantly write down hadiths from them upon hearing them which lowered the possibility of forgetting them or modification of their wording.
