Musnad of Rabi 'ibn Habib Ibadi, citation and validation

One of the Islamic sects that has paid special attention to hadith in its 1,300-year life is the Ibadiyya sect; Ibadiyya is a sect branching out from the Kharijite body, which has continued its political-ideological life and has many followers. Therefore, it is necessary to validate and examine the method of ensuring the issuance of these hadiths, which has a history similar to the era of hadith issuance. Among Ibadi's hadith works, the prominent position of Rabi 'ibn Habib Ibadi is obvious to scholars. The narrations narrated by Rabi 'in the book "Al-Musnad" have been considered as one of the main and reliable sources in Ibadi jurisprudence for many centuries. In this article, in addition to getting acquainted with this sect, we will examine the validity of "Al-Musnad Rabi" in the eyes of the earlier and later ones and the authenticity of the author and his method of narration. Lack of comprehensiveness of jurisprudential content, confusions such as bringing theological content under the chapters, as well as inserting narrations unrelated to the subject of each chapter and messenger and the interruption of narrations, as well as their fragmentation for a book known as "Al-Musnad", is considered a great weakness.
