Tabi‘un in the context of Tabi' al-Tabi'in
The Tābiʿū al-Tābʿīn (Arabic: تَابِعُو ٱلتَّابِعِينَ, singular Tābiʿ al-Tābʿīn تَابِعُ ٱلتَّابِعِينَ) is the generation of muslims after the Tābi‘ūn in Islam.
The view of the Sunnis and the Salafis is that the first generation of Muslims are called the companions of Muhammad. The second generation of Muslims are called tābi‘ūn "Successors". The third generation are called tabi‘ū al-tabi‘īn "successors of the Successors". The three generations make up the Salaf-us-Saalih the "Pious Predecessors", of Islam.
