Investigation of the Authenticity of the Narratives in Tuhaf al-Uqūl
Journal Title: رهیافتهایی در علوم قرآن و حدیث - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 96
Abstract
Tuhaf al-Uqūl is the name of a hadīth collection, the author of which is Abu Muhammad Ḥasan ibn Alī ibn Ḥussein ibn Shu‘bat al-Ḥarrānī. He is one of the hadīth narrators of the fourth century (A.H), and according to some sayings, he was one of Sheikh Mufīd’s preceptors. One of the features of Tuhaf al-Uqūl is its containing some single hadīths, which have no equivalent in other hadīth collections. There is disagreement among scholars and jurists about the reliability of the author of this book and the authenticity of the hadīths in it. The authors of this article presume the reliability of the author (al-Ḥarrānī) and thus the authenticity of the book on the basis of the authenticity of the issuance of the hadiths in it. The present article supports this presumption by providing arguments and through the criticism of the sayings and arguments of the opponents.
