Abstract

The high status of Hadith in the formation of religious knowledge makes it necessary to confirm its attribution to the Infallible (a.s.) as a fundamental issue in Shi'a jurisprudence. Among them, Mohammad Hossein Naini, one of the prominent late jurists, has used the "trustworthiness of issuance" method to authenticate weak-chained narrations. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and examining the scientific works of the late Naini, examines his methods in authenticating weak narrations. The findings show that Naini, on the one hand, accepts all the narrations of the book Al-Kafi as a valid text that does not need to be examined for its chain of transmission, and on the other hand, uses the rule of "the weakness of the chain is compensated by famous practice" to confirm weak narrations. Also, he uses evidence such as tolerance in the arguments of Sunan, attention to the implicit narrations of the elders, and acceptance of the narrations of controversial narrators such as Jaber ibn Yazid Ja'fi and Ismail ibn Abi Ziad Sakouni, to strengthen and confirm the content of the narrations. These views indicate Naini's intellectual systematicity in adapting the narrative sources to the jurisprudential and practical realities, which has led to the development and clarification of Shi'a jurisprudential discussions.
