A Comparative Studies of the Validation of External Weakening of Narrations Issuance from the Perspectives of the Two Denominations i.e. Shia and Sunni with a Focus on the Conduct of Reasonable People (sira 'uqald'iyya)

One of the methods of validating the credibility of narrations releasing is to examine the weaknesses introduced into them, based on the criterion of coherence and conduct of reasonable people (sira 'uqald'iyya). A comparative examination of the weaknesses presented in the narrations of the two denominations i.e. Shia and Sunni paves the way for a better understanding of the foundational aspects of Hadith, jurisprudence, and jurisprudential principles of Islamic schools of thought, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the ijtihadi foundations clearly. In this paper, in nine major axes, we point out the most important external causes and reasons for the weakening of narrations compared to Shia and Sunni narrations. Adjudication with a focus on and criterion of the conduct of reasonable people (sira 'uqald'iyya) indicates the strength of the jurisprudential-principle and jurisprudential bases of the Imamiyyah compared to other schools of thought in this matter.
