Shiite Imam's Hadiths in the Sunni Sources

Ahl al-Sunna have frequently mentioned the virtue of the household of the holy Prophet in their books. We can dare say that no group neither the three caliphs nor the four Imams of Ahl al-Sunna have books on their virtues as many as the household of the Prophet. Without any doubt, this approach demands their high regards to the Infallible Imams hadithsand also their transmission and criticism of hadiths of Ahl al-bayt. In this paper, the athor has studied the most important hadith books of Ahl al-Sunnah and has extracted the number of hadiths ascribed to any Imam of Ahl al-Bayt. He finaly concludes that the people of Sunnah hve not paid as much attention as it deserves to Ahl al-Bayt's hadiths.
