The Nature of Extremism in Narrative Interpretations: a Case Study of the Interpretation of Tibyān Sulaymānī

The phenomenon of extremism and extremist thought is a bitter and complex fact in the Shiite narrative and theological dictionary. This phenomenon has emerged as a deviant current after the death of the Holy Prophet of Islam with the aim of show a bad nature of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The continuous struggle of Ahl al-Bayt and Shiite thinkers against the phenomenon of extremism is designed from the origin and purpose of this extremist idea in promoting superstitions and destroying the image of religion. The Extremists, with goals such as breeding superstitions, spreading discord and promoting immorality, forged and published narrations about the merits and virtues of Ahl al-Bayt, examples of which can be traced in narrative sources and interpretations of Shia proverbs. One of the interpretations of Persian narration is the commentary of "Tibyān Suliymānī" which was written in the 12th century AH by Mīrzā Muḥammad Mashhadī (around 1125 AH) , the author of the famous commentary of Kanz al-Daqā'iq and Baḥr al-Gharāib. In the present research, with the library method and the analysis of exegetical texts, and using the data of cognitive scholars and hadith research, some examples of such narrations, focusing on the first volume of the said commentary, are evaluated and criticized in terms of text and documents.
