Critique and Review of Mulla Ali Qari's View on the Virtues Hadiths of Imam Ali (AS) in the Book "al-Asrar al-Marfu'a fi al-Akhbar al-Mawdu'a"

One of the important books in the field of false hadiths is the book "Al-Asrar al-Marfu'a fi al-Akhbar al-Mawdu'a" by Mulla Ali Qari. The importance of this book is in the brief collection of previous books that have been written in this field. In this book, Mulla Ali has considered a large number of narrations related to the virtues of Imam Ali (AS) to be false, while some Sunni scholars have considered them to be true. he Under these hadiths and in confirming that they are fabricated, sometimes without using the scientific rules of hadith, with words such as: "One of the Shiite lies" considered the hadiths to be false, and sometimes using rules of hadith such as: " Hiding the companions from telling the narrations that happened between them" or mentioning the title "without document" for the hadith, has criticized them. In the present study, these rules and reasons proposed by Mulla Ali, in a descriptive-analytical method, with a critical tendency and relying on the opinions of other Sunni hadith scholars, were examined and evaluated. Studies have shown that those reasons are either not applicable to the hadiths of the virtues of Imam Ali (as) at all and are fundamentally false or are not accepted by a group of Sunni narrators.
