There are numerous writings and works, especially during the last three decades, about Mirza Mahdi Gharavi Esfehani. There is no doubt or disagreement that he was the establisher of a school of thought which is generally known as Khorasan school of thought and Tafkik school of thought.But about his trend in terms of Islamic jurisprudence and his doctrine, considering the fact that he was a student of Naeeni, some questions have been raised. One of these questions focuses on his relationship with Akhbariyons school of thought. The question is if Mirza Esfehani should be counted from Akhbariyons or from Osulions. To this end and to have a clear understanding about Akhbariyons, the present article has been prepared. The original discussion has been addressed to a group of scholars which was recorded. This essay is the transcription of that tape. It worth mentioning that lake of a clear understanding of Akhbariyons obliges us to talk about this issue. According to this, first we studied different meanings and implications derived from Akhbari word and then after introducing its three different meanings, we expressed the way of forming Akhbarions school of thought and its direct or indirect teachings. Finally, the ideas of Mirza Esfehani about this school of thought has been introduced. The present article aims at reporting the formation of Akhbarions school of thought and also introducing their view points to be scrutinized.
