Abstract: (15 Views) |
The book "Al-Ikhtisas," attributed to Sheikh Mufid, contains specific hadiths, particularly those concerning the miracles of the Imams (peace be upon them). By analyzing the types and frequency of these narrations in comparison with Sheikh Mufid's book "Al-Irshad," This research can gain valuable insights into the authenticity of attributing "Al-Ikhtisas" to him. A quantitative-descriptive typological approach is one method for verifying the authenticity of hadiths. This approach allows for the examination and classification of scattered reports within the book. In this study, we will examine the typology and comparison of miracle narrations in both "Al-Ikhtisas" and "Al-Irshad" to determine whether "Al-Ikhtisas" can indeed be attributed to Mufid, based on the consistency in the application of typologies. The research results indicate a significant and clear difference in the types of miracles described in "Al-Ikhtisas" compared to "Al-Irshad," as well as inconsistencies between the theological beliefs expressed in his other works and those found in "Al-Ikhtisas." Therefore, it is unlikely that "Al-Ikhtisas" can be accurately attributed to Mufid.
