Pathology of Development of Hadith Family in the Historical Studies with the Emphasis on Repeated Divorce Performed by Imam Hassan (PBUH)

One of ways of identifying the absoluteness or the way of issuing narrations is the development of hadith family and the validation of narrations through which. The science of hadith mostly takes advantage of this method and it can be appropriate for the denial and approval of the existence of a historical report by the historians and biographers as well. It seems that the report of repeated divorces performed by Imam Hassan (PBUH) in the Islamic sources is originated from the development of hadith family. Through the pathology of this method by referring to the ancient texts and taking advantage of the descriptive-analytical method of research, the present writing is to answer the why of accepting the report of repeated divorces performed by that holiness by some of the Islamic scholars particularly the Twelvers. The findings of this research illuminate that hadith family is not capable of identifying the intentionally fake reports and this disadvantage is observed in the reports of repeated divorces performed by Imam Hassan (PBUH); so that the fabricators have declared this unreliable report factual and justifiable through the various and numerous reports regarding this issue.
