He then allowed or ordered some Companions to write hadith when there was no risk of confusion. These hadiths take precedence over the reports that mention an across-the-board prohibition of writing for several reasons: the "written" reports are of a higher order of authenticity; the "do not write" reports are abrogated; the "written" reports are confirmed by the abundance of written reports from the Companion-generation manuscripts by their first-century students. In the beginning, the Prophet forbade the writing down of hadiths so that the people would not confuse them with the Qur'an. Then he allowed or ordered some companions to write down hadiths when there was no longer any danger of confusion. These hadiths take precedence over reports that mention a far-reaching prohibition of writing down for several reasons: written down reports are of a higher order of trustworthiness, unwritten reports are rejected; written reports are confirmed by a large number of reports recorded by students from the first century of the Hijra based on the testimony of generations of Muhammad's followers.
