1.1 Al-Bukhārī received the same hadith from T1, T2, and T3, who in turn received it from three teachers (T11, T12, T13; T21, T22, T23; T31, T32, T33) respectively 25
1.2 Transmitter T2 received the same hadith from T21, T22, and T23, each of whom mentioned three teachers (T211, T212, T213; T221, T222, T223; T231, T232, T233) as his source 26
1.3 Transmitters who died during period x (labelled collectively Tx) received hadiths from their teachers (labelled collectively Ux, who died two decades before Tx), who in turn had received hadiths from uux(x-6), uux(x-5), and uux(x-4). By assuming the backward selection model, we can explain the repeated fluctuations in Dn (the difference between the date of death of Ux+2, on average, and that of uux(x-6), uux(x-5), and uux(x-4), on average). 27
