Kafi and Kolayni From the Viewpoint of Fariqayn and Orientalists With an Emphasis on the Book Kasrossanam"

Over one thousand and a hundred years have passed since the compilation of the celebrated book Kafi– the first comprehensive book of Shia on hadith (tradition), which includes various ideological, jurisprudential and historical issues. The book was written by Abu-Jafar Mohammad ebne-Ya’qoub Kolayni(329 Lunar Hijrah), not so long after the infallible Imams. With great and astonishing endeavor, and after constant trips and great deal of discussions and interviews with the brilliant traditionists, taking advantages of Usoul-e Arbame’ah, Kolyni has writhen the book. The present survey in addition to implementing a comparative study of Kafi [the book] and Kolayni [the author] from fariqayn and orientalists’ point of view has analytically studied and scientifically evaluated the book "Kasrossanam"
