The Feasibility of Extending Tolerance Rule in the Narrations Evidence about the Household of the Apostle's Virtues and Sufferings

One of the methods to benefit from a weak tradition is to apply the rule of tolerance in examining the document of recommended actions narrations. There is no uniform approach among Shi’ite thinkers regarding the scope of this rule including topics such as juridical opinion, Surahs and the Household of the Apostle’s virtues. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the validity of this rule in the aforementioned cases and analyze its evidence. The present research is based on descriptive-analytical method and using library sources to investigate the feasibility of extending the tolerance rule to the weak traditions that contains the virtues, merits or sufferings of the household of the Apostle of God. To achieve this goal, in the first step, the reasons that rationalize this inclusion are explained as follows: The cooperation verse (5:2), the application of recommended actions narrations (the narrations of the virtues of crying, the judgment of reason on the goodness of reciting virtues, and the lifestyle of the Imams' companions of these narrations). According to the analysis of this research, all these evidences are partly wrong. In the last step, the selected theory is organized based on the validity of the methods of obtaining the tradition, the falsehood of the informant, and the promise of non-science. The achievement of the article is that using the tolerance rule, it is not possible to establish a suitable solution for exploiting weak traditions including the virtues and sufferings of the household of the Apostle of God.
