The Degree of the Applicability of Imam Khomeini's Movement to the Hadith of Imam Kadhim(a)

The book of the History of Qom written by Hassan ibn Mohammad ibn Hassan ibn Saeb ibn Malik Asha’ri Qomi in 378 AH contains a Hadith related from Imam Kadhim(a) which, according to some jurists and contemporary scholars of hadith, applies to the movement of Imam Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution. Using a descriptive-analytical, this research investigates the chain of transmission and implication of this Hadith and evaluates the idea of its applicability to Imam Khomeini. The degree of the validity of the book and the biography of the narrators referred to in the chain of transmission of Hadith are evaluated according to the science of Rejal and scholars sayings and writings so that it is evident that the chain of transmission of Hadith is acceptable and the special considerations and evidence and indications show that it applies to Imam Khomeini's movement. Regardless of the chain of transmission and content of Hadith, the messages and points hidden in the text are drawn out after going through the traditions relating to Shi’a uprisings during the absence and before the advent of Imam Mahdi, and all the evidence of the hypothesis of applicability is identified and evaluated.
