%X It is generally accepted that the majority of the fuqah¨¡£¿ (legal experts), except for the £¿anaf¨© school, divide the reports from the Prophet, with regard to the number of transmitters, into two parts: al-mutaw¨¡tir and al-¨¡£¿¨¡d. £¿anaf¨©s, on the other hand, accept, beside these two, a third category in between: al-mashh¨±r. However, contrary to this widely accepted view, we see that Sh¨¡fi£¿¨© u£¿¨±l al-fiqh (legal theory) tradition contains discussions about mustaf¨©£¿ reports along with al-mutaw¨¡tir and al-¨¡£¿¨¡d. This study deals with discussions about the presence, acceptance and epistemological value of mustaf¨©£¿ reports in the Sh¨¡fi£¿¨© legal theory. Furthermore, al-mustaf¨©£¿¡¯s similarity or dissimilarity to the £¿anaf¨©s¡¯ al-mashh¨±r and its categorical relations with the mutaw¨¡tir and ¨¡£¿¨¡d reports will also be examined. We may argue that discussions of Sh¨¡fi£¿¨©¡¯s on mustaf¨©£¿ reports have eventually approximated their position to the £¿anaf¨©s¡¯ tripartite division of reports and minimized the differences between the two schools
