Dating of Hiding Secret Hadiths and the Role of Ghulats in them

One of the most important bases of the thoughts of Ghulats is introversion and hiding secrets. Ghulats used different methods including insertion in hadith, forging of hadith, isnad-based and contextual misrepresentation, which were charged with political and cultural motivations, to spread such thoughts in Shiite hadith heritage. One of the fields in which they sought to spread such thought was that of taqiya. In this research, hadith “forbidding the disclosure of secret” was critically analyzed using the method of isnad-based and contextual dating. It was shown in this research that the word “secret” that is used in this hadith is actually replaced for the word “amr (order)” to spread Ghulats’ thoughts into Shiite thinking. The existence of a common chain in isnad (chain of transmission) of such hadiths well indicates the date of falsification of the text of such hadiths.
