Abstract

The authority of the Single chain of transmission (al-Kabar al-Wāḥid) is one of the extant discussions in jurisprudential, principled, and commentary books. The origin of the term "Authority" often refers to jurisprudence; however, it has also reached the literature of the science of the commentary of the Holy Quran. For example, the question of authority in the commentary has been specifically addressed in such matters as the authority of the Single chain of transmission, as well as the authority of the words of the companions and subordinates. But the serious question remains that what is the concept and function of the term “Authority” in other sciences beside jurisprudence? With regard to authority, one can speak of the distinction between the use of authority in comprehension and the authority in practice, and even the inability to use authority in comprehension and cognition. Concerning the term "Single Chain of Transmission "can talk about possibility of different approach. in non-jurisprudential areas. This function can be followed while analyzing the relationship between the text and the audience (both when producing the text and when interpreting it). Nonetheless, removing one's mind from the jurisprudential perspective and the distinction between jurisprudence and other (whether interpretation or history, etc.) is not due to limitation of the jurisprudence, instead it is due to its depth throughout the history and its unintended impacts on other Islamic sciences.

تعمیم حجیة الخبر الواحد على القضایا التفسیریة والعقائدیة

Abstract [العربیة]

یعدّ موضوع حجیة الخبر الواحد (المتشکل من اصطلاحی "الحجیة" و"الخبر الواحد") أحد أوسع الأبحاث الفقهیة والأصولیة والتفسیریة، ویرجع منشأ مصطلح "الحجیة" غالباً إلى علم الفقه، ومع ذلک وجد هذا المصطلح طریقه إلى لغة علم التفسیر، ومن باب المثال تمّ تناول مسألة الحجیة فی التفسیر بعض الحالات ومنها حجیة الخبر الواحد، وحجیة أقوال الصحابة والتابعین.






وهنا یطرح السؤال الهام التالی نفسه: ما هو مفهوم مصطلح الحجیة واستعمالاتها فی غیر علم الفقه؟ ویمکن القول أنّه لا یمکن التمییز بین استعمال الحجیة فی مقامی الفهم والعمل فحسب؛ بل یمکن القول بامتناع استعمال الحجیة فی مقام الفهم والمعرفة.






بالنسبة لمصطلح "الخبر الواحد" فیمکن الحدیث عن اختلاف النظرة إلیه فی المجالات غیر الفقهیة، ویمکن تتبع هذه النظرة غیر الفقهیة ضمن تحلیل العلاقات بین النص والمخاطب (سواء فی زمن إنتاج النص أو فی زمن تفسیره). على أی حال فإنّ السعی لتطهیر الذهن من النظرة الفقهیة والتمییز بین الفقه وغیره من العلوم بما فیها التفسیر والتاریخ و... لیس من باب التنقیص من شأن الفقه؛ بل بسبب عمق المنظومة الفقهیة على مرّ التاریخ وتأثیر الفقه اللاإرادی على غیره من العلوم الإسلامیة.
