Radawī Library of Sheikh Sadūq: Recognizing Written Sources of Narrations of Imam Reza (AS) in Works of Sheikh Sadūq

Sheikh Sadūq paid particular attention to collecting the narrations of Imam Reza (AS), resulting in compiling the book ‘Uyūn Akhbār al-Ridā (AS). Unfortunately, many of the books used by scholars of that time have been lost. The only way to know their content is to refer to the reports that remained in the books. Some of these books can be identified by studying the titles of the chapters, the subject, and the chain of narrators of hadiths, as well as, comparing them with bibliographic and biographical information. In this article, 30 sources used by Sheikh Sadūq are identified including the books "Al-Masā'il" by Hassan bin Ali al-Washā’, "Al-Masā'il" by Muhammad bin Sinān, “Al-‘Ilal” by Fadl bin Shāzhān, “Al-Farq bain al-'Umma wal-Āl” by Rayān bin Salt, “Dhikr Majālis al-Ridā ma'a Ahl Al-Adyān” by Nūfilī. Using the results of this research, important steps can be taken to recover and rebuild the lost legacy of Imam Reza's (AS) narrations.
