Critical Analysis of Yahya Mohammed's Perspective on Science of Shia Rijal (Based on the book Moshkilah al-Hadith)

Science of Rijal is one of the sciences that provide the basis of the authenticity of hadith. Therefore, the group of Quranism (Qur'āniyyun), which is considered to be an opponent of the Sunnah, raises some of its doubts and problems into this science. These problems can be classified in two domains: the first is related to the problems that arise from the principle of the Science of Rijal, such as the interference of personal feelings in the curtailment of narrators and the lack of knowledge of their inner states, and second is related to doubts about the science of Shia Rijal, and most of them were presented by Yahya Muhammad in the book of Moshkilah al-Hadith. Some of them are as follow: lack of sense in the narrator's adjustment due to the time gap between the religious communities and the age of the innocent, the shortage and failure of the Shiite scholar's expressions about the narrators and, ultimately, the conflict between the views of the Shiite Hadith scholars. In this paper, because of variety transmitted and rational reasons, we show that these doubts and bugs do not have the necessary resistance and strength to challenge the science of Rijal. As a result, a systematic review and targeted response to these doubts are the main goal of this research.
