From the perspective of scholars of hadith, accepting and trusting the narratives of a narrator depends on a variety of factors, lack of each result in distrust. However in special conditions, some of these inconveniences can be ignored and the narratives can be sentenced to correctness.

In this article, reflecting on evidences in infallible Imams (PBUT) narratives and studying the statements of the experts on narrators (Rijal)., this theory has been proven that the two factors of lying and having reputation in heresy, can be seen more than all the Shiite narrators, in the extremists (ghalis) and therefore their fame for these two attributions is the most important cause of their weakness.
