Acceptance Of Imam Sadiq's Hadith In Medina Based On Comparison Of Hadith Indicators

 Hazrat Sadiq's reputation for jurisprudence among the Sunnis has caused ambiguities in recent years about the importance and status of his hadith in Medina in the second century, and his hadith and the popularity of him among general narrators has been questioned. To solve this problem, we must restore the hadith position of Imam Sadiq as much as possible. For this purpose, a general model is presented which is based on the study of quantitative and sometimes qualitative indicators, such as: number of students, the number of narrations of that narrator in earlier sources, the reference of active narrators to him and the level of attention of Rejaliyun and narrators and their comments about the narrator.
Therefore, in order to restore Imam Sadiq's hadith status among the Sunnis and in the first half of the second century in Medina, one should pay attention to the prominent and prolific narrators of Medina, a city that was the residence of Imam Sadiq and one of the most important centers of Islamic hadith and full of Sunni narrators and already devoid of Shiite narrators. After identifying the intended narrators and examining some of the hadith indicators, we set aside ineffective or low-effective narrators concerning the hadith of Medina and compared the additional indicators of the selected narrators who are the elders of the hadith of Medina. Finally, by comparing their indicators with Imam Sadiq's, his hadiths position will be retrieved among the elders of Medina's hadith. This comparison shows that Imam Sadiq had the highest position in hadith and welcomed greatly among the Sunni narrators of Medina at that time.
