In Hadith collections and books، there are many traditions which seem to have controversies with each other. Allameh Sha’rani is one of the scholars who has tried to resolve the ostensible controversy between traditions، using the Imams’ statements and employing rational and narrative knowledges. For this cause، he has considered the meaning of one side of this controversy as specific and the other as general، or one as conditional and the other as unconditional، or one as recommendable (mustahab) and the other as obligatory (wajib). Otherwise he has literally discussed and given arguments in order to resolve the contradiction. At times when contradiction is genuine، he has preferred one side considering its advantages. At other times، not having any preference، he has believed in alternatives or has not come to any judgment. This study is concentrated on Allameh Sha’rani’s annotations، regarding the book of al-Wafi، written by Fayz Kashani.

One of the issues long been discussed by some commentators and scholars of the Quranic studies، is repitition in the stories of Qur''an. Khatib believes that this phenomenon has provided a ground for some writers including Orientalists to criticize the Quran. These scholars have considered repetition a disorder in the organization of Quran، and a shortcoming regarding its miracle and eloquence and also its weakness in conveying its meanings. On the other hand، controversy in the image represented of the scences of the stories in different suras of Quran، has led to this belief that some of the elements and parts of these stories are fiction. Opposed to this group، some commentators and scholars of the Quran have defended this repetition، determining its value and advantages. Abdol-Karim Khatib is one of the commentators who not only disregard repetition as a shortcoming but also regards it as a feature of its been miracle. Denying any real repetition، he considers each image a complement to other images of the same scene.
