There are different traditions in some Sunni sources concerning the protection of the Prophet’s life. These narratives, relying upon this part of the verse of Iblagh [Notification]: "Wa Allah Yusimuka min al-Nas", irrespective of the causes for revelation and its relationship with other parts, seek to narrate the stories which are apparently concerned with the protection of the Prophet’s life before the revelation of the verse, After God's direct guarantee of the protection of the Prophet’s life, there were no needs to the guards and the Prophet let them go. While investigating these narratives, we face with important facts regarding the innocence of the Commander of the Faithfull, Imam Ali, peace be upon him. The author of the present paper first explains some passages of the verse of Iblagh [Notification] and the commonalities between Fariqayn (Shi`a and Sunni), then he classifies the narratives into four groups and based on historical sources verifies their inadequacy in comparison with the verse of Iblagh [Notification].

After the invention of the printing press, the Indian subcontinent has particularly been one of the most important centers publishing written works in Asia. Its published works had an effect on its adjacent regions, especially on Iran. An important part of these published books is concerned with Shia Imami works. Among them that of Hadith and Shia Hadith sciences are of important status. The status of these works and their quantity and quality, as it should be, has not so far been evaluated and considered. The author of the present paper briefly gives an account of sixteen published books of the Shia Hadith in the Indian subcontinent, along with their specifications. The author looked into these books one by one and elicited the data. Considering the titles and dates of publication of these books, one can find the role of the subcontinent in the development of Shia culture and sciences, yet other Shi`a books published in this area are needed to be investigated.

Styles of writing, is a new method recently developed in Persian literature, and gradually found its way into other knowledge domains. Muhammad Jafar al-Kattani - contemporary Sunni scholar - was the first person who dealt with style analysis of hadith books. The book al-Risala al-Mustatrafih is a gift of this lasting research study. Shi`a scholars have recently got this way. One of the benefits of style analysis is that researchers got familiar with writing styles of writers and do their research with determination and also restore some of the styles of the past. This is a small effort to introduce three writing styles of the great author Sheikh Bahai. His hadith writings indicate his high rank in the field of hadith studies. The author of the present paper tries to make a review of the style of hadith writing in Sheikh Bahai’s three books: al-Arba`un Hadith (Forty Hadith), al-Habl al-Matin, and Miftah al-Falah (Key to Salvation).

According to Imam Khomeini's views, the reliability and loftiness of themes is considered as the benchmark for adequacy and inadequacy of exegetical hadiths and not the reliability of documents or its citation in the authentic hadith sources. Accordingly, Imam Khomeini does not emphasize on original and first-hand sources in transmission of the exegetical hadiths. Although most of hadiths, which have been cited in his works, are found in reliable hadith sources, some others are not found and have been popular in the next periods. They should be searched for in the Gnostic moral Imami Shia books. Another group of exegetical hadiths cited by Imam Khomeini in his works should be sought in Sunni hadith sources. Final group consists of hadiths with mystical themes that are not found in the primary sources, and even the Sunni hadith sources. These hadiths are often found in mystical, ethical and exegetical works of Sunni people, although some of them found their way into Shi`a books in the later periods. The present paper is concerned with investigation and classification of Imam Khomeini’s hadith sources in transmission of the exegetical hadiths.

One of the main questions about the book Man La Yahdaruh al-Faqih is whether the Morsal Prophetic hadiths of the book are all obtained from the Shi`a chain of authorities and documents or some of them belong to the Sunni chain of authorities? The answer to this question requires analysis of individual narratives. To make a systematic analysis of the hadiths and obtain more accurate results, the author of the present paper first has divided the traditions into seven groups based on three criteria: hadith narrated in Sheikh Saduq’s other hadith books (through Shi`a documents or non-Shi`a ones); hadith narrated in other Shi`a hadith books through Shi`a documents; hadith narrated in the Sunni hadith books. Then he has verified the implications of each of these types of narratives whether Sheikh Saduq has utilized Shi`a chain of authorities or Sunni’s. Then he has collected hadiths belonging to each group. It is worthy of notice that the author has investigated the first volume of the above mentioned book as an example in this study.

Knowledge of the authenticity of the book which includes hadiths of the Infallible Imams, peace be upon them, has a direct impact on their importance. Mohamed Bin Hammam Askafi, the great Shia hadith scholar is a trustworthy scholar. al-Tamhis has been attributed to him. This book was not known before Allama Majlisi, but in the earliest document the name Ibn Hammam is seen. Some have attributed it to Ibn Shuba Harrani. Whether it is authentic or not? The author of the present paper tries to make an analytic introduction of al-Tamhis and pave the way for its authentication. He also comes up with some newfound data about Mohamed Bin Hammam Askafi and his book. New findings consist of topics such as attribution of the book to the author, status of the author and applicability of narratives of al-Tamhis.

This research deals with an applied and natural issue based on the Quran and Hadith literature, and organizes the hypotheses and views in accordance with it while presenting the findings in appropriate categories.
