A Critical Analysis of the Biographer's Views on Mohaddith Jazayeri`s Pedigree and Works

Muhadith Jazayeri, 1671-1733 H, is one of the most prominent Shiite scholars in the field of Hadith and Rijal with many works. His biography and works, therefore, have long been focused on by traditional genealogists and researchers. Nevertheless, there may be found some shortcomings and mistakes on his pedigree and some of his writings. Correction of Mohaddith jazayeri`s genealogy, rejection of a view claiming wrong attribution of some of his compilations to him, correction of his mistake when introducing his own Gharaib ul-Akhbar as Navadir ul-Akhbar and showing priority of Anvar u-Unna`maniyeh over Ghayat ulMaram in being written down may be regarde as the findings of this study. Also, the misconception of the biographer: Aghabozorg Tehrani's words in introducing the footnote of “Moghni al-Labib” as “al_Ghana” and the words of Mohsen Amin Ameli in the introduction of the book “Al-Nour al-Mubin fi Qusas al_Anbia and al-Mursalin” have been proved a well as Jazayeri’s attribution of “Tohfat al-Asrar’, “Anis al-Wahid” and “Kenz al-Talib” and “Vasilat al_Ragheb” to Jazayeri, has been rejected.
