Validation of the narration of Adam's height based on theological beliefs

The book "Al-Akhbar al-dakhila" is one of the great works by Allameh Mohammad Taqi Shushtri, a contemporary scholar. He wrote this book about fake and distorted hadiths. This article studies one of the narrations that he considered to be fake in his book: The Height of Adam (peace be upon him). The present research, which examines the documentary validation and citation of the above narrative with a descriptive-analytical approach, shows that the late Shoushtari's criticisms of the narrative are valid, and the above narrative is weak in terms of its document and indefensible in terms of content. Although some have tried to answer and refute Shushtri's problems with the aim of defending the hadith, but the examination of the narration based on criteria of hadith criticism shows that such claims are not acceptable. The mentioned hadith is incompatible with the Quranic verses, authentic narrations, scientific findings and evidence and Shia theological beliefs.
